About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, we're discussing the protests in Israel and the larger context in which they are occuring. Our Jewish guest this week is the writer Jonathan Rosen. He joined us to talk about his new book , The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions . We’re also bringing you a dispatch from Armenia. Liel traveled to Yerevan to learn about Birthright Armenia , and how it could teach Israelis and American Jews a lesson or two. Check out Zionism: The Tablet Guide , a new book edited by Liel Leibovitz and Tablet Magazine. Unorthodox listeners are invited to an exclusive Zoom webinar with Liel where he will discuss the history of Zionism and answer your questions, free with purchase of a copy of the book.
