  • Interesting but too much untranslated hebrew

    I find this podcast very interesting but at the same time frustrating because they use so much Hebrew that goes and translated that for people like me it is rather alienating.

Q: And you could tell us a little bit about how it begins and we'll start looking at it through different angles.
