About this episode
We begin 2026 with a look at an issue that is rapidly becoming one of the most important of the decade.
Across religious, political, and generational lines, views on Israel and the Jewish faith and people are wildly misaligned. We discuss the lay of the land, what is out of bounds, and how to entertain these difficult conversations.
