Description

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and very special guest Mijal Bitton discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon   —The Best Laid Plans— President Herzog’s compromise plan for judicial reform failed straight out of the gate. But why? —Ne’emanut Now— Mijal explains her notion of “Ne’emanut” and how maybe there’s more to morality than being principled. —How Are Israel’s Judicial Reforms Affecting Those On the Outside?— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: How does the fight over the courts here affect Jews in other places who care about Israel? All that and the protest song just voted “the best song in Israel’s history,” plus the music of Benaia Barabi!
