As the very last votes are still being counted, we try to make sense of the election results that will bring Benjamin Netanyahu back to the Prime Minister’s office, and what they say about the heart and soul of the country, and what they do to our own hearts and souls

Five days ahead of the elections, Sally, Don and Noah talk about: 1) Why people who don’t vote, don’t vote, and 2) Who we’re voting for on Tuesday

We discuss: 1) Just what will happen if Netanyahu returns to the PM’s residence 2) Whether PM Lapid was right to forego Knesset approval for the historical marine boundary line treaty with Lebanon

We discuss: 1) The videos, memes and ads of the 3 big parties 2) Why it’s so upsetting when celebrities we love disavow our political camp 3) The deep tension between “the holidays” – when we do nothing – and “after the holidays” when the world comes crashing back on us

We discuss: 1) Yair Lapid’s ringing endorsement of a Two-State Solution in the hallowed halls of the U.N. 2) A new poll of global elites that find they think Israel is the second most religious country on earth – now why on earth would they think that?

In this very special, carbon-neutral episode, we look back on people who lately left us, leaving a huge mark on our lives and world

We discuss: 1) Bibi’s promise to fully fund ultra-Orthodox schools, whatever they teach 2) A new documentary about women in the Knesset 3) What were the most important things that happened here over the year that is now ending!

We discuss: 1) What the National Unity Party’s candidate list says about what it stands for 2) The angry debate over a high school principal’s invitation of far-right MK Itamar Ben-Gvir to speak to her students 3) The hottest new party on the scene, “Enflamed Youth”

What better way to make the end of summer than by celebrating that city we love so well, Tel Aviv-Jaffa?!?
