In this wartime-fever-dream-inflected special episode Miriam Herschlag and Noah Efron talk about (1) the only thing any of us have talked about for the past weeks, what US President Donald Trump called “The Twelve-Day War,” and (2) several things we have NOT talked about for the past weeks, but maybe ought to have, including what’s going on in Gaza, a joint-Palestinian-Israel efforts to get humanitarian aid to Gaza, and an Israeli Rabbi and a Melburnian Bar Mitzvah boy working together to create unity.
All this and music and cats on rooftops, plus as moving a wedding as we’ve ever seen.
For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Despair, anxiety, hope and exhaustion: What we’re feeling now.

A very moving episode. The story of the Rav Danino and Noah Cave had me in tears.
Thank you for the kind word, Lisa. It means a lot to me that you took the time to find the website, just so you could leave some encouragement. I am grateful.
Warmest,
Noah
An incredibly moving podcast – a big mazal tov to Miriam on her son’s incredible wedding. Also – the segment on Rav Danino and his family’s quest to honor their son’s memory and mission, and the way a family in Melbourne found a way to help was incredible. This mechina (or other related ideas the Daninos have) would be a meaningful way for us to help in addition to the other projects we support. Are you able to supply a link to some way to donate or connect?
Thank you so much!
