About this episode
Allison, Don, Miriam Hershlag, and Noah discuss (1) Why Mizrahim shun the Left (hint: It’s the oppression, stupid!), (2) the perhaps growing phenomenon of tourists who come seeking not to see the country’s sites of historic and cultural wonder, but rather, the sites of conflict and oppression: Why is this happening, and is it a good or bad thing?, and (3) As the Ministry of Education spends tens of millions to fund what is essentially a huge nationwide bookclub to read the Bible in an initiative called 929, we ask if it’s money we’ll spent, with some of us enchanted by this projects, and others of us a little repulsed. All this and hardcore klezmer from Kfar Saba with Ramzailech!! Songs:Fir ZinShtetleAmzalegAl Titakni Oti
