Description

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Sally Abed and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Listen to the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon   —A Year of Abraham Accords— A year ago this week, ambassadors from the UAE and Bahrain celebrated with then-President Donald Trump and then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the launch of the Abraham Accords. With Trump and Netanyahu booted out of office in the interim, what should we make of the accords now? —Escape— After a week glued-to-the-screen, following a manhunt after six escaped Palestinian prisoners, we ask: What just happened? —White-ish Feminism— Some Israeli feminists say they’ve had enough of “White(ish) Feminism.” Do they have a point? —What Yom Kippur Means to Us— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we discuss what this days-of-awe-holiday-season means to us, each from our own perspective. All that and Sima Noon!
