IDF chief approves plans to take over Gaza City, Australia bans MK Simcha Rothman from entry, Report: IDF plans to encourage young Jews from Diaspora to join the Israeli armySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amid reports that the IDF is making plans to reach out to Jewish communities in the Diaspora to recruit young men to serve in the Israeli army, author and historian Gil Troy said serving in the IDF is a bold decision. But, he said, the IDF needed to understand that those coming to serve do so from internal motivation rather than some kind of guilt trip. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the government was too indulgent with local draft dodgers and should solve its manpower problems with them before seeking to recruit young Jews from abroad.(photo: flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », est une série spéciale de RFI à la découverte des jeux populaires à travers le monde. Ces jeux qui, à travers les joueurs, parlent de la culture et de l'identité de chaque pays. Aujourd'hui, direction la France et plus précisément Lyon, où l'association des Béninois du Rhône-Alpes organise une après-midi de jeu autour de l'awalé. Ce jeu de semailles est le jeu de société africain le plus répandu, de l'est à l'ouest du continent et jusqu'aux Antilles. Entre transmission et nostalgie, pour la diaspora africaine, l'awalé fait le lien entre l'enfance au pays et la vie en France. Reportage à Lyon de Welly Diallo. Assis face à son adversaire, Julio se concentre. D'une main, il saisit quelques graines qu'il dissémine le long du plateau : « J'ai grandi avec mes grands-parents au pays donc je connaissais déjà l'awalé. » Julio maîtrise le jeu, mais ça ne veut pas dire qu'il gagne chaque fois. « J'ai joué avec quelqu'un de beaucoup plus expérimenté que moi donc euh... Non ! », s'amuse-t-il. Le jeune Béninois n'avait presque aucune chance face à Bienvenue Kenke, le trésorier de l'association des Béninois de Rhône-Alpes, pour qui ces rencontres autour des jeux oscillent entre transmission et nostalgie. « Ça permet aussi à ceux qui sont à Lyon de rester dans le mood des anciens jeux malgré leur âge adulte pour transmettre à leur descendance, explique Bienvenue Kenke. Comme on s'est retrouvé ici, on s'est dit : sortons notre awalé pour que ceux qui sont venus il y a longtemps soient toujours dans le mood de l'ancien temps. » Sur la table d'à côté, Odette la doyenne, retrouve ce « mood de l'ancien temps », cette ambiance, cette excitation d'autrefois. Depuis son arrivée, elle enchaîne les victoires et explique les bases du jeu aux nouveaux-venus. Aujourd'hui, l'awalé se joue dans presque tous les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. À l'origine, le jeu a émergé entre le XIIIe et le XIVe siècle au Ghana. Puis, la traite négrière va contribuer à son expansion aussi bien en Afrique qu'aux Antilles. L'historien Joseph Salumu Kamangu est le président de l'association africaine des jeux et sports traditionnels : « À l'époque, à chaque déportation par la traite négrière, ces gens-là emmenaient l'awalé avec eux. Aujourd'hui, le gouvernement ghanéen, en collaboration avec l'Unesco, a pu ramener ce jeu, le moderniser un peu en intégrant ce programme dans des écoles et des centres culturels, et aujourd'hui, ça a pris quand même une diffusion internationale. » À lire aussi«Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues» à Madagascar: le fanorona D'où sa place centrale au sein des diasporas africaines. L'awalé, que l'on appelle aussi l'adji ou owaré, est présent dans les ateliers et séances de jeux, et même jusqu'au festival Yardland de hip-hop, dancehall et R'n'B, qui a eu lieu à Paris début juillet, à l'hippodrome de Vincennes. Dans son stand, Ngoufo Gangnimaze, président du Club Awalé, a proposé aux festivaliers de découvrir le jeu. « Il y a beaucoup d'enthousiasme parce que l'awalé, c'est le jeu le plus connu en France. Les gens viennent très naturellement parce qu'il y a un capital sympathie fort. Et nous, tout ce qu'on a à faire, c'est intervenir dans des festivals, des foires des fêtes de jeux pour faire connaître l'awalé et les jeux africains », raconte Ngoufo Gangnimaze. Faire découvrir le jeu, mais à condition qu'il reste africain, surtout dans sa fabrication : « C'est les Chinois qui ont pour l'instant le monopole de cette fabrication-là. Ils les vendent essentiellement dans les centres commerciaux, grandes surfaces et boutiques en ligne, commente Ngoufo Gangnimaze. Il faut s'investir dans cette industrie, les Africains doivent prendre l'espace, investir dans la fabrication du jeu, faire du lobbying en fait ! Moi, j'ai déjà rencontré des ergothérapeutes qui utilisaient l'awalé pour exercer leurs patients dans tout ce qui est la psychomotricité finee. » Outil pour soigner, pour éduquer, pour se souvenir d'où on vient... L'awalé est ce trait d'union avec le continent pour la diaspora africaine en France. À lire aussi«Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues» en Argentine: le truco

This podcast episode delves into the intricate interplay between Asian American perspectives and biblical interpretation, prominently featuring Dr. Janette Ok's insights from her contributions to "The New Testament in Color: A Multiethnic Bible Commentary." The discussion centers on how diverse ethnic backgrounds can enrich our understanding of Scripture, particularly in the context of First Peter's exhortation for believers to embody unity and humility amidst societal challenges. Dr. Ok articulates the significance of diaspora and identity, elucidating how these themes resonate with contemporary Asian American experiences of marginalization and belonging. Through this discourse, we aim to confront preconceived notions regarding scriptural interpretation, advocating for a broader inclusivity that acknowledges varied cultural lenses. Join us as we explore the transformative potential of recognizing and embracing our multifaceted identities within the Christian faith.The dialogue between Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell with Dr. Janette Ok unveils a profound exploration of Asian American perspectives in biblical scholarship, particularly through the lens of her contributions to "The New Testament in Color: A Multiethnic Bible Commentary." Dr. Ok, an adept scholar with a rich background rooted in the Korean American church, articulates the significance of understanding the Bible through diverse cultural lenses. The conversation delves into the complexities surrounding the interpretation of Scripture, emphasizing that the experiences and identities of Asian Americans are not monolithic. Dr. Ok elucidates how factors such as migration, heritage, and racialization inform the Asian American reading of biblical texts, thus enriching the theological discourse. As the discussion progresses, the hosts and Dr. Ok navigate the dichotomy of traditional interpretation versus contemporary approaches that embrace plurality, highlighting the necessity of recognizing various cultural contexts when engaging with Scripture. This episode serves as a clarion call for inclusivity within theological discussions, urging listeners to appreciate and integrate diverse voices into their understanding of the Christian faith.Takeaways: Dr. Janette Ok emphasizes the importance of understanding diverse perspectives in biblical interpretation, especially from marginalized communities. The concept of diaspora in First Peter illustrates the Christian experience of alienation and the need for community among believers. Asian American biblical hermeneutics offers unique insights by connecting cultural identity with theological discourse and scripture interpretation. The New Testament in Color commentary aims to enrich biblical scholarship by incorporating multiethnic voices and perspectives that challenge traditional interpretations. Janette Ok discusses the significance of recognizing one's social location when engaging with biblical texts to foster humility and interdependence. The podcast advocates for a deeper engagement with scripture that acknowledges the complexities of race, identity, and community in the context of faith. .Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network:https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm.Be sure to check out new merch on The Whole Church store:https://my-store-e8a57d.creator-spring.com.Check out "The New Testament in Color" on Amazon:https://a.co/d/hxVS5rB.Wanna meet our hosts?

In this week's episode, we tackle the Black diaspora war on social media and the importance of unity among Black nations. There is a bigger agenda at hand. Social media agents are fueling the division. Their goal is to continue contention among Yah's chosen people.

In this episode of Awakened Woman 20:20, we're unpacking a hard truth in the Black diaspora conversation — the tension between African/Caribbean immigrants and African Americans. Why do some come to the U.S. for opportunity while looking down on the very people who built the foundation they benefit from? We explore the pride, the posturing, and the passport reality. From cultural claims to historical debts, we're calling out the hypocrisy and breaking down what's really behind the divide. This isn't about hate — it's about truth, respect, and healing the breach.Awakened Woman 20:20 is a podcast to encourage women to walk in wholeness in God Yahuah, through Biblical principles. To return to the original intent in which God created and designed us. To share our experiences and learn from one another and be our “sisters keeper”. I desire to create a community of women who desire to walk in their feminine nature as Women of God. Episodes will be about topics relating to everyday situations and my take on these issues based on my values and beliefs. ****You are free to disagree with me, as I understand the art of disagreement, this doesn't mean you are my enemy or that I am your enemy. We simply just disagree and we can agree to disagree. I don't have all the answers, so I will lean on you as my sisters for correction in the comments if what I am saying doesn't align with scripture or you have a different view on it. I welcome respectful discussion

Margalith Kleijwegt reflecteert op haar persoonlijke en politieke verhouding tot het Joods-zijn in Nederland. Aanleiding is haar artikel Erfenis van angst, waarin ze de spanningen binnen de Joodse gemeenschap belicht en benoemt hoe kritiek op Israël vaak ten onrechte als antisemitisme wordt weggezet. Ze uit scherpe kritiek op het Centraal Joods Overleg (CJO), dat volgens haar onterecht claimt namens alle Joden te spreken – terwijl zij zich daar niet door vertegenwoordigd voelt. Ook de rol van de PvdA komt aan bod, een partij die ze ooit steunde, maar die volgens haar te ver is afgedwaald van haar oorspronkelijke idealen. In dat kader bespreken ze de motie van Kati Piri, die pleitte voor een duidelijk onderscheid tussen antisemitisme en legitieme kritiek op Israël – een initiatief dat volgens Kleijwegt belangrijk is, maar op veel weerstand stuitte. Daarnaast vertelt ze over haar betrokkenheid bij de actiegroep Joden zeggen Nee, waarin ze samen met andere kritische Joden een alternatief geluid laat horen over Israël en het Israëlisch-Palestijns conflict. Ook haar eigen Joodse identiteit, en hoe die zich verhoudt tot politiek en activisme, komt uitgebreid aan bod. In deze podcast voeren Kees van den Bosch en Margalith Kleijwegt een kritisch en genuanceerd gesprek over Joodse identiteit, solidariteit en politieke vertegenwoordiging in Nederland.

Am 17. Februar 2008 erklärt sich der Kosovo einseitig für unabhängig von Serbien. Für die meisten Menschen im Kosovo endet damit ein jahrzehntelanger Kampf um die Eigenständigkeit. Serbien dagegen sieht den Kosovo weiterhin als Teil des eigenen Staatsgebiets. Hamit Zeqiri erlebt die Anfänge des Konfliktes mit. Er ist ein junger Student, als der serbische Präsident Slobodan Milosevic 1989 der damaligen serbischen Provinz die Autonomie entzieht. Die bislang weitgehend selbstverwalteten Institutionen werden unter die direkte Kontrolle Belgrads gestellt, Albanerinnen und Albaner aus dem öffentlichen Leben gedrängt. Dagegen formiert sich Widerstand. Unter der Führung der demokratischen Liga des Kosovos werden parallele Institutionen aufgebaut. Bereits damals ist die Unabhängigkeit das Ziel. Hamit Zeqiri engagiert sich in einem studentischen Jugendforum ebenfalls dafür. 1993 wird er deswegen verhaftet und zu einem Jahr Gefängnis verurteilt. Doch Zeqiri gelingt es, sich mit Anfang zwanzig in die Schweiz abzusetzen, wo er sich ein neues Leben aufbaut. Von hier aus erlebt er mit, wie sich die Situation im Kosovo immer weiter zuspitzt. Die sogenannte kosovarische Befreiungsarmee UCK wird Mitte der 1990er Jahre gegründet. Im Unterschied zum bisherigen strikt gewaltfreien Widerstand, setzt sie auf eine militärische Eskalation. 1999 kommt es zum offenen Krieg, in dessen Verlauf auch die Nato Serbien den Krieg erklärt. Im Juli 1999 ziehen sich die serbischen Kräfte zurück, die Kämpfe enden. Der Kosovo wird unter internationale Verwaltung gestellt. Es folgt schliesslich die einseitige Unabhängigkeitserklärung. Während all dieser Zeit spielt die Schweiz eine aktive Rolle. Während der 1990er-Jahre befinden sich führende Köpfe der UCK in der Schweiz und agieren von hier aus. Hier wird Geld gesammelt und innerhalb der Diaspora werden Kämpfer rekrutiert. Die Schweiz ist aber auch das erste Land, das sich in der UNO bereits ab 2005 für eine Klärung des Status des Kosovos einsetzt. Und: Die Schweiz anerkennt die Unabhängigkeit des Kosovos vergleichsweise früh an. Was sie zu dieser aktiven Aussenpolitik bewogen hat, erklärt die damalige Aussenministerin Micheline Calmy-Rey.

It's a common and surprisingly tricky scenario—you live in Israel and keep one day of Yom Tov, but your guest is visiting from the Diaspora and keeps two days. It's your Chol HaMoed, their second Yom Tov—can you cook for them?This isn't just a yes-or-no halachic question. There are two sides, and the topic raises a fascinating halachic and hashkafic discussion about respecting others' observance and the boundaries of Yom Tov laws in Israel vs. the Diaspora.In this episode, we break it down clearly:• What are the opinions?• What are the options?• And what's the best way to approach it in real life?Tune in for a quick but deep dive into a relatable Chol HaMoed scenario.

Nous parlons ce matin de l'importante de la diaspora des mourides, une confrérie musulmane sénégalaise. Lundi dernier, des organisations de la diaspora ont célébré le Bamba Day. Un hommage rendu à Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, le fondateur de la confrérie. Le 13 août, surtout, les fidèles mourides pratiqueront le grand magal, le pèlerinage annuel dans la ville sainte de la confrérie, Touba. C'est l'occasion pour nous de nous plonger dans un ouvrage qui vient de paraître : La Mouridiyya en marche : islam, migration et implantations, publié par les Éditions de la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme. Le livre revient sur l'expansion internationale de la confrérie et en analyse certaines conséquences. Son auteur Cheikh Anta Babou est l'invité de Laurent Correau. RFI : Qu'est-ce qui explique l'importance de la diaspora et de l'émigration dans le mouridisme ? Pourquoi est-ce qu'on associe si souvent cette image du mouridisme à ces réseaux diasporiques ? Cheikh Anta Babou : Ce qui fait l'importance de cette diaspora mouride, c'est un phénomène imprévu. Les mourides, qui étaient un peu considérés comme des sédentaires naturels, des conservateurs qui sont perdus dans la modernité, ont profité de cette modernité qui n'était pas faite pour eux. Ils ont migré dans les villes de plus en plus, en grand nombre. Ils se sont installés, ils ont pris l'économie informelle. Et quand les conditions se sont présentées, ils ont quitté le Sénégal pour l'Afrique occidentale, pour l'Europe et maintenant pour les États-Unis dans les années 80. Donc comment ont-ils réussi à domestiquer cette modernité et à en profiter pour devenir une diaspora globale ? Et qu'est-ce qui l'explique selon vous ? Ce qui l'explique, c'est la mobilité avec Ahmadou Bamba. … Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, le fondateur du mouridisme. Effectivement. Vous savez que dans sa saga, la mobilité joue un rôle important. Ses exils, d'abord au Gabon où il a passé sept ans… il s'exile en Mauritanie… Les exils, au niveau du Sénégal. Donc c'est une certaine aura qui accompagne cette mobilité. Autre chose qui s'est développé : vous allez avoir des dahiras, ces organisations urbaines mourides. Ces dahiras ont été formés au Sénégal dans les années 40, dans les villes, originellement comme une organisation qui aide à développer, à préserver l'identité mouride menacée par la modernité occidentale dans les villes. Et quand les mourides ont voyagé, ils ont voyagé avec ces dahiras. Ce qui est intéressant avec ces dahiras, c'est qu'ils aident la religion à voyager. Ils donnent une mobilité à la culture mouride. Une fois à Paris, une fois à New York, une fois à Abidjan ou ailleurs, ces dahiras deviennent le creuset où les mourides se retrouvent chaque semaine, où la sociabilité mouride est développée, où les événements religieux sont célébrés. Donc cette sociabilité mouride, d'une certaine manière, est ancrée autour de ce creuset, le dahira mouride. Vous avez aussi une réflexion intéressante dans votre ouvrage sur la question de la deuxième génération et la façon dont cette deuxième génération vit la foi mouride. Qu'est-ce qui se passe avec la génération qui n'est pas celle des premiers migrants, mais celle de leurs enfants ? Vivre sa religion dans la diaspora est chère. C'est un investissement lourd en termes financiers, mais aussi en termes de temps, en termes d'émotion. Et beaucoup de ces parents, maintenant, se demandent, est-ce que mes enfants auront cette volonté d'avoir cet investissement que nous, nous avons produit pour que l'amour de Dieu continue à se perpétuer ? C'est la grande question. Mais il y a même des mourides moins jeunes qui commencent à s'interroger, surtout ce qu'on appelle les professionnels. Ils ne peuvent pas faire ces réunions sociales avec le dahira. Les investissements financiers ne posent pas de problème, mais pour la plupart de ces gens-là, c'est le temps à consacrer à ces événements qui pose problème. De sorte que la plupart d'entre eux se disent « je peux être mouride autrement. C'est-à-dire, je peux apprendre les khassaïdes de Serigne Touba chez moi. Pas nécessairement en communauté, comme c'est l'habitude dans les dahiras. Mais je peux également nouer une relation personnelle avec Ahmadou Bamba à travers ses ouvrages plutôt qu'avec sa descendance. C'est-à-dire ce lien-là qui se base sur la généalogie est en train de se déliter un tout petit peu. Les gens se disent « je peux être mouride sans me soumettre à un cheikh qui est un descendant d'Ahmadou Bamba », comme de tradition dans la mouridiyya. Ils se disent « je peux lire les khassidas, essayer de modeler ma vie par rapport à la vie d'Ahmadou Bamba. Quand je vais au Sénégal, je vais sur sa tombe, je prie chez lui et je prie sur sa tombe et pour moi, c'est suffisant. » Vous diriez qu'on voit une foi individuelle se développer un peu plus dans cette deuxième génération ? Dans cette deuxième génération où vous gérez vous-même cette foi… au lieu de la donner à gérer à la Communauté elle-même. Est-ce que les circulations entre Touba, la ville sainte des mourides et toutes ces villes de l'étranger, toutes ces terres d'immigration ont créé quelque chose ? Cette diaspora mouride est en train d'avoir un impact extrêmement important. Les mourides ont produit une culture mouride qui n'est pas celle qu'ils ont quitté au Sénégal. Il y a par exemple ce que les mourides appellent les « khassidas days ». … Les khassaïdes, ce sont les poèmes de Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Oui, les poèmes d'Ahmadou Bamba… Ils ont ce qu'ils s'appellent les khassidas days.  C'est-à-dire une journée où différents groupes de dahiras se regroupent et chantent les khassidas toute la journée jusqu'à la nuit. Et ça, c'est du nouveau. C'est la solidarité diasporique. Mais cette solidarité a été réexportée au Sénégal où les gens font également leur khassida day. Mais également même sur l'investissement. Vous avez maintenant des ONG, des dahiras qui ne sont plus des dahiras classiques, mais des ONG. Il y en a un, Matlaboul Fawzeyni, qui a construit un hôpital. Ces mourides qui vivaient dans les zones rurales qui ont migré à Touba et par la suite ont migré en Europe ou en Amérique se sont rendus compte qu'ils ont besoin d'installations sanitaires modernes pour leurs parents qu'ils ont laissés derrière. Ils se disent, mais pourquoi pas investir sur ça ? Donc, ils ont construit le premier hôpital moderne au niveau de Touba et ils continuent à investir, par exemple sur l'éclairage public, sur l'assainissement. Ça ce sont des choses qui sont absolument nouvelles. Et l'argent qu'ils envoient également au Sénégal, qui est assez substantiel, tout cela également a un impact non seulement sur la mouridiyya, mais sur le Sénégal en général.

We discuss the Torah and Persian sources for the name of Israel's recent Iran operation.  Asher describes how the Diaspora can advocate for Israel when the going gets tough, getting more strident than during his anti-foie gras days.  Speaking of advocacy, John requests a summer “get out of shul free” card, but Asher isn't buying it.  After a refresher on Tisha B'Av, John extracts Asher from an uncharacteristic funk by invoking the tradition that Moshiach, and the messianic era, will be born on that saddest day in the Jewish calendar.

Guinea's legendary dance band, Bembeya Jazz, are a pillar of modern West African history. Begun in 1961 in the flush of Guinea's independence and Sekou Toure's maverick presidency, the band played under the inspired leadership of guitar giant Sekou "Bembeya" Diabate. This program delves into Bembeya history with a focus on the band's 60s and 70s heyday, right up to more recent solo work by Sekou Diabate. In the current age of Afrobeats and digital production that is helping to supplant dance bands across the continent, Bembeya's music stands the test of time for its rich mesh of tradition and swing band drive.

In this episode, we delve into the history of the Jews – both in the homeland of Judea and the many communities of the Diaspora. From the conquests of Alexander, the Jews navigated through a new paradigm that favored “Greekness” and embraced many aspects of Hellenistic culture, while also trying to uphold the Laws of Moses that linked them back to the glory days of Solomon and David. The flowering of diasporic literature, such as the creation of the Septuagint, was one byproduct of Judeo-Greek interaction. Yet tensions with the Hellenistic monarchies could lead to severe unrest, as will eventually culminate in the Maccabean Revolt.

In this episode, Afropop dives into a celebration of the blues--for some, the essence of the American experience and for others a link back into a lost history in Africa. For our program, we also went back through a number of key interviews we've done over the years where the subject of blues came up, particularly in reference to the genre's African roots. The notion that the blues has roots in Africa is obvious, but from there, things get complicated. Scholars and historians wrestle with the details, but for artists, the feel is everything. We are lucky to live in a time where musicians in America and Africa are retracing the pathways and making new music for a new time. Originally produced by Banning Eyre in 2003 APWW #421

Dreams in Migrations: AAPI Identity, Diaspora, and Resistance in Contemporary Art In this special live episode of What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza moderates a closing panel discussion at BG Gallery for Dreams in Migrations—the third annual AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) exhibition curated by artist and organizer Sung-Hee Son. This timely conversation assembles a multigenerational roster of artists whose practices interrogate identity, memory, imperialism, and the myth of the model minority through distinct formal languages and lived experiences. Featuring artists Dave Young Kim, Mei Xian Qiu, and others, the episode moves fluidly between personal narrative and structural critique. Kim speaks candidly about growing up Korean American in Los Angeles, navigating ADHD through drawing, and finding community through both art and street culture. He reflects on his work's deep connection to place—evoking the layered histories of Koreatown through archival images, signage, and symbolic compositions. Mei Xian Qiu offers a moving account of displacement, spiritual ritual, and postcolonial trauma. Born into Indonesia's Chinese diaspora, she discusses her early artistic impulse to create “sacred objects” as a means of processing survival and systemic erasure. Her multimedia works—reminiscent of stained glass and batik—expose the mechanisms of propaganda and the cultural inheritance of violence. Her series Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom revisits China's Hundred Flowers Campaign with a provocative inversion: a mock invasion of the U.S. staged entirely by AAPI artists and academics. Together, the panelists explore diasporic kinship, cross-cultural solidarity, and the politics of visibility within the art world. Proenza draws compelling parallels between the AAPI and Latinx experiences, from forced assimilation and linguistic loss to state violence and Cold War geopolitics. The conversation challenges the flattening effects of labels like “model minority,” advocating instead for nuance, specificity, and coalition-building. The episode concludes with reflections on the power of artist collectives, including the Korean American Artists Collective co-founded by Kim, and a roll call of exhibiting artists whose works are transforming the gallery into a space of resistance, celebration, and shared memory. Featured Artists in the Exhibition: Dave Young Kim Mei Xian Qiu Bryan Ida Tia (Otis MFA ‘23) Miki Yokoyama Key Topics: AAPI identity in fine art Postcolonial trauma and Chinese-Indonesian history Korean American experience in L.A. Propaganda, memory, and resistance The myth of the model minority Artist collectives and community organizing Explore how contemporary AAPI artists are reshaping cultural narratives and reclaiming space through radical aesthetics and collaborative practice.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with Guri Alfi, comic, actor and producer of "The New Jew." Recorded before the conflict with Iran, Alfi speaks about his experiences filming the second season of "The New Jew," a series he first created with public broadcaster Kan 11 in 2021 that had him looking at the Jewish community in the United States. For these latest episodes, Alfi traveled to the US to speak to Jews in the wake of October 7 and the intense antisemitism and anti-Zionism that exploded across college campuses and American cities. Guri discusses his conversations with a range of Jewish leaders, including Reform Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl, student leaders from Columbia and Harvard universities, and bereaved parents whose dual-citizen children became Israeli lone soldiers and were killed in the line of duty on October 7 and during the ongoing war. Guri says he wanted to show the bonds between the Israeli and American Jewish communities, and to show the hope and future that still exist despite the terrible events and trauma of the last 21 months. He also talks about one of his latest projects, “Speeches Against Despair” during the upcoming Israel Festival, in which he, along with actress Noa Koler, musician Noga Erez, actor Norman Issa, actress Maya Landsmann, screenwriter Galit Hoogi and others offer new interpretations to historical speeches. And so this week, we ask Guri Alfi what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
