About this episode
Allison, Noah & Tel Aviv Review Host Gilad Halpern discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Cities of Sanctity, Cities of Sin We discuss President Reuven Rivlin's suggestion that each city, town or neighbourhood decide for themselves how much attention to pay to religion; Is it time to let Tel Aviv be Tel Aviv and Bnai Brak be Bnai Brak? Righteous Jews We mull over the scuffle between the Knesset and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum over whether to start lionizing "Righteous Jews" who saved folks during the Holocaust alongside "Righteous Gentiles." Aging Alone We ask why so many Israeli old folks are lonely, and what we ought to do about it.
