I have been listening to this Podcast for about two
months and love it so much that it has become my favorite podcast. I. have also been going back and listening to older episodes from the archives.
What I appreciate most is the ability of Noah Efron and his cohosts and their guests to describe with clarity (sometimes great eloquence), intelligence, and scholarship (interspersed with occasional humor and lots of good music), what it’s like, especially for those who grew up in the US, to be liv... more
I always learn something new and the music gives balance! Definitely give it a listen!
There are many podcasts offering news and opinions about Israel. This one reminds us why she is worth living and dying for.
This used to be my favorite podcast. I listened every week with joy while preparing Shabbat dinner. But over the past year and a half, it’s become unbearable. At the very moment when Palestinians in Gaza are facing slaughter, this podcast has chosen silence, evasion, and self-pity.

Over the years I have grown very fond of these engaging Israelis. Their cheerful stoicism and shining intellect have been inspirational.

A thoughtful, discussion-driven show that centers on Israeli politics, culture, and daily life, weaving current events with personal narratives and Jewish thought. Episodes frequently feature guests who offer policy, journalistic, and cultural perspectives, plus reflective segments that mix humor, memory, and music to humanize complex topics. The cadence is friendly yet probing, often pairing data-driven or analytical takes with intimate stories from Tel Aviv and beyond. A notable strength is bringing together long-time journalists, scholars, and community organizers to explore how policy, identity, and everyday life intersect in Israel today.
