Linda Gradstein, Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron talk about (1) The reserve call-up and the new IDF operation – it’s already got a name: Gideon’s Chariots – that the government plans to launch in Gaza, and whether or not it is a good idea; and (2) The violent protests of a “Joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Event” in Raanana, and what we do and do not learn from them.
All this and the crooked timber of humanity on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau, and a mystical Challah dough-offering ceremony in Jerusalem and a story we learned at the Bicycle Museum that is unbelievable even after three generations!

Noah, excited to hear you’ll be in the Bay Area for the conference at Stanford. I just registered and will see you there on the 29th. I enjoy the podcast very much and didn’t think I would ever get to meet you as I am too old to travel. But since I live in Berkeley, this is possible.

Sorry to take so long to reply, Leif. I know I must have your email address somewhere, but I cannot put my hands on it. I look forward to meeting at the conference, and I appreciate you making the trip from Berkeley to Palo Alto. I don’t know exactly how swamped I will be at the event, but I do hope we will find some time to speak!

As a (local) Stanford alum and subscriber to your podcast I’m looking forward to your keynote on May 29. Glad you mentioned your participation at the end of the podcast.
Chuck, I am looking forward, too!
