About this episode
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and environmentalist & Judaicist extraordinaire Jeremy Benstein discuss three 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 —Wave?— Three terror attacks on civilians in three city centers in eight days, leaving eleven dead. Is Israel facing a new round of violence? —A Half-Baked Coalition Going Sour?— The chairwoman of the coalition bolted to the opposition, leaving the future of Israel's government uncertain. Israel may go to elections over what now? —"Anti-zionism" as a "Core Value"?— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: A shul in Chicago votes that "anti-Zionism" is a "core value." Should we care? All this and your first exposure to a tremendous new musical talent, Aviv Peck!
