Welcome to the Israeli Rollercoaster
Rockets from Gaza, riots, lynch mobs, the burning of synagogues. How did we get here? Where do we go next? A special episode of the ‘For Heaven’s Sake’ podcast from the Hartman Institute.
Gaza, going for another round. Riots by Arab Israelis, the burning of synagogues, Jewish and Arab lynch mobs roaming the streets, and the seeming end of hope for a new era of coexistence between Israel’s citizens. How did we get here? Where do we go next?
In this special episode of the podcast, Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Elana Stein Hain check in with each other and talk about how one can respond to a moment like this.
For Heaven’s Sake is a podcast from the Shalom Hartman Institute’s iEngage Project that revives the lost art of Jewish debate for the sake of illuminating a topic, not sowing division. The podcast draws its name from the concept of Machloket l’shem shemayim, “Disagreeing for the sake of heaven.”
