We Didn't Start the Fire: The History Podcast

Menachem Begin was the sixth Prime Minister of Israel, and a signal of the state's growing disillusionment. Since its founding, it had been run by socialist Ashkenazi elites, but Begin's win signified a shift to a conservative coalition of marginalised Mizrahi and Jewish-religious communities. But what did this mean long term for Israel? How does it impact politics today? And what did it all mean for Billy? To discuss it all we're joined by Henry Abramson, a Lecturer in Jewish History and Thought. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The tins held the second of three caches of the Oneg Shabbos archives: a collection by ordinary people turned archivists who risked their lives to preserve the darkest moment of Jewish history. Among the photographs and diary entries, concert tickets and poems, lay the collected sermons of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, also known as the Piaseczno Rebbe. In this episode, Yael and Schwab ask, what can we learn from Rabbi Shapira's works? And what debt do we owe to the brave Oneg Shabbos archivists?
