  • March 2, 2021 Interview !!!

    The March 2, 2021 interview with David Stavrou regarding his new book “The Israeli Diaspora in Europe” was terrific! His research into those Israeli Jews who have transitioned from Israel to Europe was really insightful. So many great questions presented by host! Kudos on this wonderful podcast and I’m looking forward to hearing more.
