  • Inaccurate terms used in recent episode- offensive

    I love this podcast but I’m completely taken aback that the host would do intensive research into a Judaism-themed episode and then use the word Palestine instead of Israel, especially when her research comes from some ISRAELI sources. It’s pretty offensive, considering Tsfat, the home of Kabbalah is located in ISRAEL. It’s a place, and it’s offensive to erase it by purposefully calling it something it’s not.
