Mastering Reciprocity: Elevate Your Speaking Career EthicallySummaryIn this episode, the speaker delves into the psychology of reciprocity, one of Robert Cialdini's key principles of influence, and how it can be leveraged ethically by speakers to gain more gigs, referrals, and rebookings without rewriting presentations or begging for business.

This week on Facing the Future we began by discussing an Illustrative package of 13 federal tax and spending reform options prepared by the Penn-Wharton Budget Model (PWBM). Our guest for this segment was Dr. Kent Smetters, faculty director of the PWBM. Then, Molly Reynolds, senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, walked us through some big decisions on the budget that the new administration and new Congress will need to make after they take office in January. Concord Coalition chief economist Steve Robinson joined the conversation.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. In this special Simhat Torah holiday episode, host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaks with Rabbi Avi Poupko, who is currently serving in reserve duty as part of the IDF rabbinate along the northern border. Simhat Torah is an annual celebration of the completion -- and restarting -- of the Shabbat Torah-reading cycle. Usually a day of joyous prayer, singing and dancing, the observance of this holiday is forever intertwined with last year's Hamas massacre of 1,200 and the hostage-taking of another 251 to Gaza. Poupko talks about observing the Sukkot holiday while listening to rocket fire overhead and gives historical context to how Jews have always adapted to tragedy and carried on "doing Jewish." For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: How Israeli Jews face the Simhat Torah holiday, forever marred by Oct. 7 massacre Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan in ToI's Jerusalem office for today's episode. Yesterday, prosecutors announced that seven Israeli citizens were arrested last month on suspicion of spying for Iran for as long as two years, carrying out hundreds of tasks at the behest of the Islamic Republic. This morning, another Iranian espionage case was announced in which seven East Jerusalem residents have been arrested on suspicion of planning attacks in Israel, including the assassination of an Israeli nuclear scientist and a mayor in central Israel. Horovitz discusses these incidents and other similar Iranian efforts. The IDFs on Monday declassified intelligence on the Hezbollah terror group's finance hub, including a bunker hidden underneath a hospital in south Beirut that it said contains hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold. We observe the way this cynical use of a hospital played out in international media. The Israel Aviation Authority briefly halted and then resumed takeoffs at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport yesterday around the time in which the IDF said that helicopters and fighter jets intercepted and shot down five drones over the Mediterranean Sea, before they entered Israeli airspace. Horovitz speaks about Israel's increased isolation during this time of war. Almost a week after the elimination of Hamas head Yahya Sinwar, Horovitz weighs in on leaders' predictions that this is a turning point in the war. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Seven Jewish Israelis arrested for spying for Iran on security figures, IDF bases Air Force pounds Hezbollah's Beirut stronghold after civilians told to evacuate area IDF: Hezbollah hiding $500 million in gold, cash in bunker under Beirut hospital Ben Gurion briefly halts takeoffs as drones downed over sea; rocket lands near Tel Aviv British Airways suspends all Israel flights until March 2025 amid escalation fears Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Evidently, the digital landscape continues to showcase a wide range of content catering to diverse interests. A striking example of this variety can be seen in discussion videos on YouTube focusing on figures from different walks of life. Illustrative of this is a video portrait on Paul Watson, a well-recognized activist and environmentalist known for his advocacy and significant contribution to marine conservation.This visual representation serves as a revelatory tool, opening up an avenue for audiences to gain insights on the life and work of Watson, without reading voluminous texts or biographies. This YouTube video insightfully captures the essence of this activist's life. Watson's environmental efforts and steadfast commitment to marine conservation have made him a figure worthy of attention and emulation. Interestingly, YouTube also serves as a profound platform for discussions on subjects that spark intrigue and debate. Another prevalent topic stirred upon is the cases related to notorious figures like Dutroux and Epstein, along with the intriguing connection of Puff Daddy, the popular American rapper and record producer. Various videos draw connections, unravel the layers, and stimulate viewers to form their own conclusions based on the presented facts.The video titled 'DUTROUX, EPSTEIN, PUFF DADDY: KARL ZÉRO BALANCE !' stands out. It is an explicit exploration of the dark underbellies of the entertainment and elite circles. With over 414K views, it's apparent the controversies surrounding these figures continue to generate interest among audiences, enticing them to explore further.YouTube's wide-ranging content, as exemplified by these videos, underlines its pivotal role in stirring dialogue, disseminating knowledge, and fostering an environment of learning and debate. This multi-faceted digital platform continues to be a beacon for illuminating different facets of society, spanning from inspirational figures like Paul Watson to controversial personalities like Epstein, proving it to be a dynamic source of content for every preference and pursuit.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's special episode of What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring one key issue currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World. Ultra-Orthodox men of military age have been able to avoid being conscripted to the IDF for decades by enrolling in yeshivas for Torah study and obtaining repeated one-year service deferrals until they reach the age of military exemption. This week, a historic High Court ruling — which found that there is no legal basis for excluding Haredi men from the military draft -- brought the need for a true Haredi draft law into focus.  So when Likud MK and Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein delayed a vote on a Defense Ministry-backed “draft Security Service Law” due to what he said was a failure to reach a “broad consensus” on the matter, political pundits paid attention. Likewise, polls indicated this week that a "fantasy" political party of former prime minister Naftali Bennett, Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman, New Hope head Gideon Sa'ar and former Mossad director Yossi Cohen would be the largest faction in the Knesset if elections were held today, winning 25 seats.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that wants you to draw us like one of your gay French girls. This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with figurative artist Halie Torris (@halietorris) to talk about the sapphic gaze in art and what differentiates it from the all too familiar male gaze.  If you spend any time on lesbian TikTok you are likely familiar with Halie Torris' paintings. The videos of her music-inspired paintings set to songs like Fletcher's Cherry and Taylor Swift's Maroon have gone viral multiple times, demonstrating just how feral we all are for art that doesn't speak to the male gaze. The entire history of art has mostly been portrayed through the male gaze, a perspective that tends to objectify and oversexualize women. Sapphic art, in contrast, is much more subtle, focusing on the little things that men don't typically appreciate. Halie describes her paintings as capturing the moment right before the climax of the action, that moment right before the wine splashes, the hook of a finger in a belt loop, the hand lightly grazing a thigh. Her paintings showcase the beauty and intricacies of sapphic relationships by sharing these more secretive moments that mainstream art often fails to recognize. There is a big focus on body language in Halie's paintings and a tendency to intentionally obscure the subjects' face from view. With the faces hidden, it is easier for people to connect their own narratives to the paintings. Halie views music as a prompt for creating her visual art, fueling the narratives that already reside within her. Alongside Halie's music-inspired series, she has been hard at work on her newest series of paintings, the situationship series. These paintings focus on the turbulent emotions experienced before, during and after a situationship.  We talk with Halie about her artistic journey, how her paintings going viral has impacted her, and of course, the gaylor of it all. Whether you are a Swiftie or not, there is no denying Taylor is a musical mastermind, painting pictures with her words through incredibly descriptive lyrics. Illustrative songs like Ivy and iconic stage performances like Taylor's Vigilante Shit chair dance have inspired Halie to create gorgeous figurative paintings from the sapphic gaze. Taylor's frequently queer-coded lyrics with a focus on secret relationships and yearning speak to sapphic listeners in a different way than their straight peers, in much the same way Halie's art does. The beauty lies in the subtlety, a feature missing from figurative art created with the male gaze in mind. Even in 2024 Halie can practically count on one hand how many figurative artists she knows of who have made art for and from a female gaze let alone a sapphic one. While we of course wish that sapphic art was not so difficult to come by, we are thrilled that artists like Halie are working hard to change that.  Follow us on Twitter: Lez Hang Out (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is Day 115 of the war. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. We begin with what we know about ongoing talks to reach another hostage release deal after the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that a four-way meeting between the US, Israel, Qatar and Egypt took place “in Europe” to discuss a potential deal to free all Israeli hostages held by Hamas in exchange for a two-month ceasefire. According to a report published late Sunday, employees of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees kidnapped Israelis, transported ammunition and the body of a dead soldier, and took part in a murderous assault on a kibbutz on October 7. We hear more specifics of these cases. According to a NYT report on Sunday, Hamas steals a “significant number” of its weapons from Israel, and much of its material for explosives from IDF duds. Berman explains how these duds are reused. US President Joe Biden said yesterday that the United States will respond to a weekend attack that killed three US service members in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border. Could this be the tipping point for an all-out regional war? Washington is reportedly weighing using weapons supplies as leverage to pressure Israel to reduce the intensity of its operations in the Gaza Strip, according to a Sunday report by US television network NBC. The IDF announced this morning that operations will be ramping up throughout the Strip. Berman discusses the push-pull on the Biden administration in this election year. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Live blog January 29, 2024 Israel says Paris talks on hostage deal were ‘constructive,' will continue this week UNRWA workers accused of kidnapping woman, taking part in kibbutz massacre – report Much of Hamas's explosives comes from IDF fire that failed to detonate — report US says 3 troops killed, 25 hurt in drone attack in Jordan; Biden: ‘We shall respond' White House reportedly looking into holding up weapons supplies to pressure Israel US support is firm, but Biden and Netanyahu play dangerous game with two-state fight THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Of the 115 Israeli soldiers killed to date in the Gaza Strip during Israel's ground offensive against Hamas, 20 were killed by so-called friendly fire and other accidents. What is the army doing to prevent more such deaths? Yesterday we heard the IDF announce that it had recovered the bodies of civilian Eden Zacharia and IDF Warrant Officer Ziv Dado, who were taken hostage by Hamas on October 7. At the same time, this operation came at a terrible cost. Fabian speaks about the operation and the IDF's mandate to retrieve the fallen. Finally, filmmaker Eli Katzoff speaks about the behind-the-scenes decision-making that goes into the ongoing Times of War video series, now featured on The Times of Israel. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

Another episode of the Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem Laced with Morality Podcast is coming with Lyn Squire

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and Diaspora reporter Canaan Lidor join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with a number of African officials in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi on Sunday. Hebrew media has reported on an off-record meetup with an official of a country that does not currently have ties with Israel. Which country could it be? President Isaac Herzog is flying to the US late tonight. Who is unhappy with the trip and what is planned for the president? During his weekly Saturday night sermon, Yitzhak Yosef, the Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, accused National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir of “sinning and causing others to sin” by visiting the Temple Mount. What instigated this outburst? In a story that lit up international headlines, a Muslim activist who had received permission to burn a Torah and a Bible outside the Israeli embassy in Sweden on Saturday said he was backing off from the move. What did local Jews have to say? The Ministry of Aliyah and Integration has ended a so-called fast track for Russian and Belarusian applicants, citing low demand for the service despite increasing arrivals amid Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war. Lidor gives a 360-degree explanation. Discussed articles include: In Nairobi, FM said to meet with leader of African country with no ties to Israel Netanyahu said to bash Israeli ambassador to US over lack of White House invite Chief Sephardic rabbi: Ben Gvir's Temple Mount visits are a ‘sin' Activist backs off Sweden Torah burning: Trying to draw attention to Quran desecration Government ends fast-tracked immigration option for Russians, drawing criticism Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and Tech Israel editor Sharon Wrobel join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Late on Friday, Moody's Investors Service lowered the country's economic outlook from positive to stable. We hear why this is significant -- and what were the reasons. How did Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu respond and what are we hearing from experts in the field? Yesterday, Netanyahu held a meeting with some of his coalition partners to discuss potential new legislation on the military draft — specifically, weighing lowering the age at which members of the ultra-Orthodox community can get a formal exemption from service. Why is this controversial? Israel's Eco Wave Power has developed technology to harness clean energy from the motion of waves. It has inked a first agreement with the Israeli National Electric Company to connect its wave-energy power plant and sell electricity to Israel's power grid. How far away are we from wave energy in Israelis' homes?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. For the 15th straight week, anti-judicial overhaul protesters took to the streets throughout the country, with an estimated several hundred thousand throughout the country. Rettig Gur weighs in on why the protests have continued even as negotiations are taking place under the auspices of President Isaac Herzog. Israel suffered a series of Hamas rocket attacks over the first Passover holiday weekend, including from Lebanon. Fabian explains what Israeli experts are saying about this seemingly new alliance between Hamas and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. A senior delegation representing the Palestinian terror group Hamas is reportedly set to visit Saudi Arabia today. Rettig Gur describes how Iran and Hamas have finally built and activated their alliance, which allows Hamas to continue expanding the Gaza front to more theaters. What can we can learn from what just happened over the past week about the effects of Israel's domestic strife on the broader region? And finally, Likud MK Tally Gotliv gave a rare English-language interview to an international reporter last night during a rally in support of the judicial overhaul last night. Rettig Gur responds. Discussed articles include: Hundreds of thousands rally against judicial overhaul plans for a 15th straight week With support of Iran and Hezbollah, experts believe Hamas well established in Lebanon Saudis said set to host top Hamas delegation, further dimming Israeli hopes for ties Saudi-Iran detente marks latest twist in decades of fraught ties Israel's efforts to forge Saudi ties said on ice as tensions with Palestinians spike Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Louis Agassiz as a Teacher; illustrative extracts on his method of instruction

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in our Jerusalem office. Government ministers voted to pass the formation of a national guard under National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir yesterday prior to the Knesset's Passover recess. How it will be funded was a sticking point during the voting yesterday. Horovitz weighs in. The judicial overhaul compromise talks resumed today at President Isaac Herzog's residence, even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended his greater intervention in the overhaul process. Horovitz explains some of the reasons Netanyahu's lawyers give for ostensibly breaking his corruption trials' conflict of interest agreement with the Attorney General. Israel hosted an iftar “break fast” meal last night for diplomats from Muslim countries serving in Israel and local Muslim leaders, but there were a number of notable absences. Who didn't show and what does this say about the strength of the Abraham Accords? Jordan's King Abdullah II stated yesterday, “It is the duty of every Muslim to deter Israeli escalations against… holy sites in Jerusalem.” Berman explains the context to this statement. Ukrainian Jewish communities are preparing for Passover under drone fire again this year. The Dnipro Tiferet Matzot Bakery, the main matza factory for Ukraine, was set ablaze last week. Hear why the matza is so emblematic of freedom of worship in this former Soviet country and why Passover observance is on the rise.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and legal affairs reporter Jeremy Sharon join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in The Times of Israel's Jerusalem offices. Keller-Lynn reports on the pro-judicial overhaul protest in Thursday where some 20,000 self-proclaimed "right-wing" citizens rallied in support of the coalition's reform package. Keller-Lynn compares the moood with the many anti-overhaul protests she has attended. The cabinet is set to vote today on what many are calling National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's “private militia.” Sharon explains who is meant to make up the National Guard and what the unit is assigned to patrol. Last Sunday night, reports of the firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant set off a chain of events leading to the eventual pause of the judicial overhaul package. What is his status a week later? Sharon looks into the much-cited case of the High Court overriding the Knesset with the legislation against African asylum seekers. Finally, we hear from Keller-Lynn what she expects in the political realm during the Knesset's Passover break.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Early Friday morning, the Israeli military struck a rocket factory in the Gaza Strip, hours after four rockets were launched at Israel from the Hamas-run Palestinian enclave. What sparked this most recent exchange of fire? We hear about ripple effects from the recent November 1 election, starting with a recent statement from Bahrain. The British government said on Thursday that it would not relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, backing away after a pledge made by former prime minister Liz Truss to weigh the matter, shortly before she left office last month. Any surprise here? A US-based Orthodox Jewish nonprofit on Wednesday announced a new partnership with the Israeli military to provide kosher food and other supplies to soldiers who arrive in the country for joint training and other activities with American forces. Is kosher food so hard to find in the US?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and health reporter Nathan Jeffay join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Yesterday, Prime Minister Yair Lapid held a briefing at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem on his approach to the Iran nuclear deal. What did Schneider hear there? In The Times of Israel's Hebrew sister-site Zman Yisrael, Schneider wrote an in-depth article looking at the political issues surrounding a potential maritime border agreement with Lebanon. We hear some salient points. It's almost two years to the Abraham Accords and Schneider has charted the trade upswing with the United Arab Emirates. The Times of Israel reported overnight about a first Israeli woman has been infected with monkeypox. Will we see a change in the vaccination policy? Jeffay covered a troubling new survey that found that almost one in three Jewish Israelis say they would deny themselves mental health support for fear of stigma. Is this true of all ages and backgrounds? An Israeli scientist says that artificial sweeteners should no longer be assumed safe, after his lab published peer-reviewed research suggesting they may actually increase sugar levels in the body. Finally, Israeli scientists say they have developed a warning system for cognitive decline, which works by tracking brain function as elderly people listen to music. What is this all about? Discussed articles include: Iran deal draft reportedly includes 4 phases, would take full effect after 165 days Mossad chief to visit Washington as Israel steps up efforts to reshape Iran deal In first, woman in Israel diagnosed with monkeypox 1 in 3 Israeli Jews would forgo psychological support due to stigma, poll finds Artificial sweeteners can harm sugar levels, shouldn't be assumed safe – Israeli lab Israeli scientists say brain analysis tool can spot cognitive decline — using music Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Satellite images obtained by Fabian on Saturday showed heavily damaged structures at a Syrian weapons base near the northwestern city of Masyaf in a Thursday airstrike attributed to Israel. Fabian tells us more. Russia has shipped its advanced S-300 air defense system in Syria back home amid its invasion of Ukraine, an Israeli satellite intelligence firm said Friday. Is this significant for Israel? Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has again brokered a cooperation deal between Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionism that seems to assure that both parties will cross the electoral threshold. Horovitz speaks about the editorial choice of consistently raising the alarm against the Kahane-aligned party, as he did in a scathing op-ed last week. Late last week during Defense Minister Benny Gantz's trip to Washington, DC, Israel received “good hints” with regard to the US having a working offensive plan against Iran. What does this mean, in practical terms even as both Gantz and the current Prime Minister Yair Lapid are overtly attempting to speak with the US about this deal. The Maccabi Haifa soccer team has risen to the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in over a decade. The group was placed in group H of the Champion's League group stage, where it will face off against French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain on September 14 in Haifa. Horovitz shares his perspective on Haifa's chances.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Israel again experienced a terrorist shooting last night, this time near Jerusalem's Western Wall. Horovitz brings updates. This morning, we hear that former IDF top general Gadi Eisenkot and former Religious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana are joining ranks with Blue and White head Benny Gantz. Does this boost Gantz's chances? Berman is back in Israel following several weeks in Ukraine. He tells us about a Holocaust survivor who is again displaced by war and previews other upcoming pieces reported there. International media was flooded with headlines over the weekend about the stabbing of author Salman Rushdie as he prepared to give a lecture in upstate New York on Friday. Berman explains it's not the first attack surrounding the controversial author. Do we expect the stabbing to affect the Iran nuclear talks in any way? Horovitz tells us about a so-called "Pasta Nazi" who is working out of Tel Aviv's Florentin neighborhood. Discussed articles include: ‘Screams of terror': 7 hurt, including 2 seriously, in shooting near Western Wall Suspected terrorist in Jerusalem shooting turns himself in to police Ex-IDF chief Eisenkot, former Yamina minister Kahana join Gantz-led ‘National Camp' Rushdie off ventilator and talking, a day after being stabbed, agent says Why decades later, Salman Rushdie's ‘The Satanic Verses' remains so controversial Israel says Rushdie stabbing ‘an attack on our values,' evidence of Iran's brutality No fettuccine for you: Tel Aviv's ‘Pasta Nazi' goes viral Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and Tech Israel editor Ricky Ben-David join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Schneider briefly discusses possibility of former Meretz leader Zehava Galon taking on the party's leadership role once again. She also dives into a piece about the Straits of Tiran and Sanafir, the Saudi-controlled islands that were briefly under Israel's control, and where Schneider's father spent a month, more than 50 years ago, as the officer of an IDF unit that was the first to step foot on the island. Ben-David discusses more Saudi Arabian news, as Israeli-founded smart energy tech firm SolarEdge Technologies signed an agreement last week with a Saudi entity. She also looks at how Israel is moving ahead with plans to lay the foundation for quantum computational ability, which harnesses quantum mechanics to quickly solve problems too complex for classical computers. Steinberg speaks about Israeli wine, and the newly tinted appellations of Judean, the lower Judean Foothills and Judean Hills, with 30 boutique wineries in place. Discussed articles include: Zehava Galon announces political comeback in bid to recapture Meretz leadership Israeli-American energy tech firm SolarEdge inks investment deal with Saudi group Israel to establish quantum computing R&D center, build quantum computer It's a quick ride from Bordeaux red to sparkling Champagne in the Judean Hills Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and environment reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. United States President Joe Biden is set to arrive in Israel this week. Let's hear what Horovitz sees as the goals and potential outcomes of the trip. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced he would resign late last week. How could this power shift affect the UK's relationship with Israel? The annual state of nature report that came out on Thursday has concluded that Israeli nature loses an equivalent of a medium-sized city to development every year. What else did the report find? Israel is set to be 1st in the world to pipe desalinated water into a freshwater lake -- the Sea of Galilee. We learn why this may, or may not, be a boon to nature. A doctoral student at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in southern Israel is using fungi to create insulation for the construction industry. Another brick in the wall of sustainable development?
