This idea of this podcast is brilliant and Sruli is a great host. While I don’t agree with some of the answers that are given by guests, the wide range of those who are passionately sharing their answers makes this a podcast I look forward to listening to. Now more than every Israel is on our minds and in our hearts and, for me, the podcast has given me more to think about and talk to others about.
