  • A great podcast

    I heard about this when I was live streaming the Park Avenue Synagogue services. Listening to Rabbi Cosgrove is a great comfort to me in these challenging times and I’m excited that I can now hear him every week (I’m a remote member, living in Michigan).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The World Cup and the American Exception: Soccer, Identity, and Belonging
Q: Is soccer finally catching on in the United States, or is it still a niche compared to traditional American sports?
It has grown significantly across generations and through international leagues, but it remains a unique, evolving phenomenon with ongoing debates about whether it will become hegemonic in American sports culture.
The World Cup and the American Exception: Soccer, Identity, and Belonging
Q: So let's start with a positive here, what function does soccer play on the global stage given its massive following?
Soccer functions as a proxy for cultural and political issues, gathering the world every four years in a single tournament to determine supremacy and reveal how different societies engage with the sport, their histories, and their identities.
Inside the Haredi Community: Education, Identity, and Israel’s Future
Q: What role does education play in the broader strategic goal for Israel?
Education is central to expanding economic participation and national resilience, enabling a generation of Haredi youth to contribute to Israel's economy and defense while maintaining their identity.
Inside the Haredi Community: Education, Identity, and Israel’s Future
Q: What is Netzach's approach to overcoming resistance within the Haredi community?
Netzach seeks to build trust through compassionate engagement, showing viable, scalable models (17 Netzach schools, combined secular and religious curricula) and proving that integration can coexist with Torah study, thereby reducing fear of modernization.
Inside the Haredi Community: Education, Identity, and Israel’s Future
Q: Frame the demographics of where Israeli society is and where the Haredi community fits into that.
Bombach explains the split within Israeli society and the sizable Haredi population, highlighting that about 14% are Haredi with subgroups (modern, conservative with a modern touch, mainstream ultra-Orthodox, and a smaller extreme segment). He emphasizes the need for integration via education and work while preserving religious identity.
