Allison, Don, Noah, and special guest Miriam Hershlag discuss three topics of incomparable importance, and end with an anecdote each about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
We discuss why Mizrahim – Jews of Middle Eastern descent – shun the Israeli Left (hint: It’s the oppression, stupid!). Is there anything the Left can do to change this?

As the Ministry of Education spends tens of millions on what is essentially a huge nationwide bookclub to read the Bible, in an initiative called ‘929,’ we ask if it’s money well spent.
