Zohara flies from New York to Israel for her mother's funeral. She'd already been through a tough year; a divorce from her American husband and trouble getting started on her doctoral dissertation at NYU. As she clears out the house where she grew up, Zohara finds tapes of her mother singing Yemenite songs in Arabic, and evidence of a secret romance. During her first thirty days of mourning, Zohara has conversations with her mother's longtime friends, joins her mother's Yemenite women's choir, and rekindles old friendships. Songs for the Brokenhearted (Random House, 2024) is a beautiful dual-timeline novel about the Yemenite community struggling in overcrowded immigrant camps in 1950's Israel, family bonds, mother-daughter relationships, political realities in 1995 Israel, and a young woman learning to be honest with herself. Ayelet Tsabari is an Israeli Canadian writer born in Israel to a large family of Yemeni descent. Her book of stories, The Best Place on Earth, won the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature and the Edward Lewis Wallant Award.

Her memoir in essays The Art of Leaving, won the Canadian Jewish Literary Award for memoir, was finalist for the Writer's Trust Hilary Weston Prize and The Vine Awards. She's the co-editor of the award-winning anthology Tongues: On Longing and Belonging Through Language. Ayelet teaches creative writing at The University of King's College MFA and at Guelph MFA in Creative Writing. She lives in Tel Aviv with her family, and when she's not writing or teaching, she loves to cook, do yoga, sing with her neighbourhood choir, and spend time at her favourite place in the world, the beach. These days, more than anything, she wishes for peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

Very excited to have Matti Friedman on The Lonely Podcast.Matti Friedman is an Israeli-Canadian journalist and a best-selling author of several books, including The Aleppo Codex, Pumpkinflowers, Spies of No Country, and Who by Fire: Leonard Cohen in the Sinai.In 2014 Matti published two essays in Tablet Magazine and The Atlantic where he recounted his experience as a reporter for the Associated Press working in Jerusalem covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from 2006 to 2011.  Matti's essays shed a concerning light on the way international media is framing and covering the story, how through their “journalistic work” they launder biased reporting that portrays Israel as the villain, and why this one tiny country that constitutes less than 0.5% of the entire Islamic world, became the most covered story in journalism.We recorded this conversation two days after the unprecedented attack against Israel launched by Iran and its proxies, which illustrates again why framing this conflict as an Israeli-Palestinian one is so wrong and misleading.Our conversation was focused mainly on Israel, but we also touched on Matti's books. We discussed, Matti's experience at the AP, why Israel gets so much bad press, the role of Qatar and Al-Jazeera in amplifying the propaganda against Israel, the role of Israeli journalists in covering the conflict, whether Benjamin Netanyahu is to blame for the deteriorating US-Israel relations, the almost inevitable future war against Hezbollah, the First Lebanon War and its impact on the way Israel is pursuing wars ever since, Leonard Cohen's visit to Israel during the Yum Kippur war of 1973, what is the Aleppo Codex and why Matti started investigating the story about the most ancient Hebrew bible in the world, and much more.Matti is one of the more honest journalists out there, and if you read his articles, books, or essays, it is hard not to conclude that he is doing something that has almost vanished from this world - true investigative journalism...................................................................................................................................................YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE ON:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@LonelyPodcast-uh1rpSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4ktRM7SIzVWcAhE9jqGIq3Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lonely-podcast/id1510273071..................................................................................................................................................TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - Introduction(05:10) - Working for the Associated Press (AP) covering the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict(08:20) - Why Israel is getting so much (bad) press?(13:23) - How does the Media launder Palestinian Propaganda?(19:15) - Why framing the story as an Israeli-Palestinian conflict is misleading?(24:48) - How Israel should be covered?(26:40) - Journalism vs. Activism(31:15) - Do Israelis understand how the Media captures them?(39:30) - How is Benjamin Netanyahu prosecuting this war?(44:00) - Is a war with Hezbollah inevitable?(49:50) - Has Israel forgotten how to win wars?(55:10) - Why a change in Israeli leadership is necessary(59:00) - Who By Fire(65:00) - The Aleppo Codex..................................................................................................................................................MATTI'S BOOKS:The Aleppo Codex: In Pursuit of One of the World's Most Coveted, Sacred, and Mysterious Books: https://a.co/d/8mpMXVXPumpkinflowers: A Soldier's Story of a Forgotten War: https://a.co/d/hLwegmhSpies of No Country: Israel's Secret Agents at the Birth of the Mossad: https://a.co/d/h2nl0HYWho By Fire: War, Atonement, and the Resurrection of Leonard Cohen: https://a.co/d/3tyCi3Q 

The photo has caused outrage in Canada's Jewish community. Last week, the government released an image of the minister of foreign affairs, Melanie Joly, and Ya'ara Saks—her Israeli-Canadian cabinet colleague and Toronto area MP—smiling and holding hands in Ramallah with the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. The grip and grin photo was taken on March 12, while the two Canadian politicians were on a diplomatic swing through the region, pledging aid to both sides while the war between Israel and Hamas enters its 24th week. The furor over the photo comes just as Canadian lawmakers on Monday are set to debate a key NDP motion in Parliament which, among other things, would see this country unilaterally recognize Palestine as an independent state. Will this motion will pass? What is Canada signalling about whose side they are on, now that Ottawa has also restarted financial aid to UNRWA, blocked export permits for military equipment to Israel and pledged $1 million to investigate sexual assaults on Palestinian prisoners by Israeli police and soldiers? On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we dive into that infamous photo, the upcoming vote and what it all means. With Conservative insider Anthony Koch of AK Strategies; Emma Cunningham, a former Ontario NDP riding president; and Joe Roberts, formerly of JSpace Canada, and now a lobbyist and managing director with Winston Wilmont Public Affairs in Ottawa. What we talked about: Read the NDP motion on recognizing Palestine as an independent state, on the House of Commons website. When the Liberals voted in favour of an NDP motion to re-examine Canada's relationship with Israel and Palestine, in May 2023, on The CJN Daily.

In the framework of the special podcast in honor of the INSS 17th Annual International Conference, the podcast host Yaron Shneider meets with Yaron Ashkenazi, the founder and co-director of the Israeli–Canadian venture capital group Awz Ventures, which invests in promising companies in the fields of quantum, photonics, biosecurity, cyber, physical security, intelligence, and more. What led Yaron Ashkenazi, a veteran of the security establishment, to an extended mission abroad and later to join the worlds of knowledge, entrepreneurship, and the establishment of projects for developing civilian-security applications? What is the added value in creating such technological developments? What does the cooperation with the Directorate of Defense Research and Development and Israel's security industries include? And how are these applications relevant to solving problems that arose in the October 7 attack and the war in Gaza, in both the civilian and security spheres?

Nearly three-and-a-half years after Shai DeLuca felt he had been defamed by the owner of the now-closed Foodbenders restaurant—who suggested on social media that the Toronto interior designer was a “racist” Israeli “terrorist” who had killed Palestinian babies—an Ontario court has found in his favour. The Superior Court of Justice judgement, which was released on Dec. 22, said DeLuca was entitled to $85,000 in damages because he was defamed by Kimberly Hawkins back in the summer of 2020. The judge found Hawkins acted with malice, was irresponsible, and had tried to not only ruin DeLuca's public reputation but his professional career as well: she had hoped to get him fired by Citytv, where the Israeli-Canadian designer has been an on-air expert in decor and style for over a decade. DeLuca says the whole ordeal was very stressful, especially because he even received death threats at the time. But now, he says with this court victory, he hopes it will serve as an example to the Jewish community to fight back against the current explosion of antisemitism at play in Canada after Oct. 7. Shai DeLuca joins The CJN Daily today to talk about what he went through, and what will happen next. What we talked about Read more about the Foodbenders lawsuit in The CJN.

If you've heard of Gila Münster, who bills herself as "Toronto's cross stitching, cross-dressing Jewish American Princess," it's probably because of her drag queen storytelling events. After the height of the pandemic, she began partnering with public libraries across Southern Ontario, hosting story hours for children to supplement nighttime performances. Then came the protests. In the summer of 2023, for the first time in her life, protesters began showing up outside libraries where she was scheduled to perform. Around the same time, Münster found herself at the centre of a city-wide debate, as she became the only drag storyteller approved to come into Toronto District School Boards classrooms for drag storytime—and the school board refused to give parents the option to opt their children out. And then, after facing months of right-wing backlash in-person and online, Oct. 7 happened. Suddenly, Münster—who is Israeli, and has worked for the UJA Federation and Hillel in Toronto—found herself being verbally attacked by her queer friends on the left, too, who strongly support the Palestinian cause and skew anti-Zionist. All this has forced Münster into a unique space, navigating a thin line between two increasingly unfriendly political sides. She joins The CJN's arts podcasters on Culturally Jewish to describe her controversial year, explain the Jewish history of drag and discuss her upcoming annual variety show, 8 Gays of Hanukkah, happening Dec. 17 in Toronto. Credits Culturally Jewish is hosted by Ilana Zackon and David Sklar. Our producer is Michael Fraiman, and our theme music is by Sarah Segal-Lazar. We're a member of The CJN Podcast Network.

Our latest episode features an exclusive, hard-hitting and sometimes confrontational interview with Israel-PremierTech boss Sylvan Adams. It's an encounter that's sure to create debate and shouldn't be missed.With the world's attention on the ongoing warfare in Israel,  the Israeli-Canadian billionaire reveals the impact the conflict has had on his team and offers an extremely robust defence of his adopted country's military response to the horrific terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas. Adams challenges the suggestion that the IPT riders and staff might require more security when racing and training as a consequence of the hostilities and says that none of his riders have expressed concerns about appearing in IPT colours.Adams talks about how sport and particularly cycling could act as a means of reconciliation in the future, highlighting the ways that it can create mutual understanding.The Israel-PremierTech boss also discusses the situation of erstwhile team leader Chris Froome, offering his perspective on the four-time Tour de France winner's recent complaints about his bike set-up and adding that the British rider can still find a way back to the Tour if he can rediscover the necessary racing condition. Our second story is a focus on the Spanish doping investigation that has embroiled the Caja Rural team.  Operation Ilex has already resulted in Miguel Ángel López first being released by Astana and then suspended, and now Spanish investigators have more riders in their sights. We detail the extensive background to this case and likely next steps.This podcast is brought to you with the support of our sponsor, Saddle Skedaddle.  Support the show

A month ago, we weren't talking about the Israelis-Palestinian conflict. The world's attention was elsewhere, on Ukraine and Russia, on China. But on October 7, all that changed. Hamas' brutality — the hunting of young adults at a music festival, the burning of homes, shooting of grandmothers, allegations of rape of women and girls, and the kidnapping of more than 200 Israelis and foreigners — placed the question of Israel and the occupied territories back on the front burner. And there are many questions. How should Israel respond to an event that shocked the nation's psyche? Can it pursue Hamas without triggering a wider conflict in the region? Is it justifiable to kill so many civilians in an attempt to neutralize a terrorism threat? This week on ‘It's Political,' we take a look at the war between Israel and Hamas through a Canadian lens. First, we'll review how we got to the current conflict with the aid of Canada's former representative in the West Bank, Douglas Scott Proudfoot. Then, we'll hear from two families, a Israeli-Canadian man from Toronto and a Palestinian-Canadian couple from Ottawa, whose families have been deeply affected by Hamas' attack and Israel's bombing in response. This is a political show, and we'll sit down with two Liberal MPs from two different communities — Mount Royal MP Anthony Housefather and Scarborough Centre MP Salma Zahid — to discuss what they want to hear from their government and what their constituents want to hear from them. Finally, we'll have a fascinating conversation with two Middle East experts, Carleton University Political Science Professor Mira Sucharov and University of Ottawa Graduate School of Public and International Affairs Associate Professor Thomas Juneau, about Canada's policy in the Middle East, how it's changed over time, what impedes Canada from playing a larger role, and how diaspora politics guide Canadian foreign policy. 4:37 - Douglas Scott Proudfoot 22:36 - Aharon Brodutch 31:12 - Israa Alsaafin and Ahmed Alsaafin 42:05 - Salma Zahid and Anthony Housefather 56:07 - Mira Sucharov and Thomas Juneau Some of the clips this week were sourced from CPAC, Global News, CTV, Al Jazeera, Fox News, the BBC, CBS, the United Nations, the History Channel, France 24, CBC, CNN, Reuters, and Atlas Aware.

On Oct. 11, the Canadian government announced it is mounting an emergency operation to fly Canadians out of Israel, possibly beginning as early as Thursday night. Several Canadian Forces transport planes will be sent to Tel Aviv to shuttle hundreds of Canadians and other passengers out of Israel to Greece, even as rocket fire continues raining down from Gaza, and mortars fall along the northern border with Lebanon. So far, according to Ya'ara Saks, the minister of mental health and addictions, who is the first Israeli-Canadian elected to Parliament, Canada has received 1,280 calls for travel help since the weekend, when Hamas terrorists swarmed across the Gaza border in southern Israel. Critics have blasted the Canadian Embassy in Tel Aviv for responding too slowly to appeals from desperate Canadians trapped in bomb shelters, especially after Air Canada and other airlines cancelled flights. Saks deflected the criticism, insisting her government is mounting an “all-hands-on-deck effort” to get Canadians out, including sending a negotiating team in for Canadians believed to be hostages in Gaza, including Vivian Silver, 74, originally from Winnipeg. Ya'ara Saks spoke to The CJN Daily's Ellin Bessner about coping with her own personal grief over family members who've been killed, while helping Canadians caught up in Israel's war with Hamas.

THE MEDICAL RECORD: TORONTO PUBLIC HEALTH LAUNCHES FLU/COVID-19 VACCINE CAMPAIGN 12-12:30 PM Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Alisa Naiman, Family Physician and Founder and Medical Director of The Medical Station in Toronto, Dr. Malcolm Moore, Medical Oncologist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and Dr. Jamie Spiegelman, Internal medicine and critical care physician at Humber River Hospital. Toronto Public Health has launched a flu/COVID-19 vaccine campaign and has a phased approach to the administration of vaccines with first priority in the rollout going to adults 65 and older, immunocompromised individuals among others. The campaign comes amid flu season. Meanwhile, the war in Israel has led to mounting casualties and deaths among innocent civilians. Our panel discusses trauma medicine and how it works during times of emergencies and also weighs in on Israel's robust medical services programs that are specialized in dealing with situations like this. So far, the death toll in Israel has reportedly reached 1,200 people. SEGMENT 2: NDP MPP JAMA FACING PARTY BACKLASH FOR HER OFFENSIVE COMMENTS ON ISRAEL 12:30-12:40 PM Libby Znaimer is joined by John Fraser, leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. Mr. Fraser is calling for the removal of NDP MPP Sarah Jama's from caucus after she made offensive comments about Israel in the wake of the war. Part of her statement on social media platform X reads:  "We must look to the solution to this endless cycle of death and destruction: end all occupation of Palestinian land and end apartheid.” MPP Jama has made numerous offensive and public remarks about Israel in the recent past which makes these statements all the more concerning. Meanwhile, NDP leader Marit Stiles says her party did not approve of Jama's remarks. SEGMENT 3 PERSONAL ACCOUNTS OF THE WAR IN ISRAEL FROM THOSE LIVING THERE 12:40-12:50 PM Libby Znaimer is joined by Aseel Gadban, a Druze Israeli who served in an IDF combat unit.

SEGMENT 4: SIMCHA JACABOVICI ON THE HORRORS OF HAMAS ATTACK 12:50-1 PM Libby is joined by Simcha Jacabovici who lives in Israel and gives a very personal account of how the war has impacted his family. Simcha is an Israeli-Canadian journalist and New York Times best-selling author and documentary filmmaker.

On Oct. 27, 2022, El Al flew its last direct flight from Canada for the foreseeable future. Leaving Toronto's Pearson airport at 7 p.m., the direct red-eye was packed with passengers both optimistic about their travel plans and sad about El Al's decision to cease operations in the Great White North. The milestone marked the end of nearly four decades of direct flights between the two countries on Israel's national carrier. People flew with El Al for many reasons, but mostly because of its representation of the Jewish state. During the pandemic, a private American Jewish family bought a controlling interest in the airline after a massive government bailout. They got El Al back in the air—but not without chopping some longstanding routes. The CJN Daily arrived at the terminal hours before takeoff to meet some of the passengers on this historic trip, including a young grandmother along with her daughter and two-week-old grandchild; an Israeli-Canadian couple heading to their native land to vote in the country's upcoming elections; and staffers handing out candy, chocolates and souvenirs.

While Ukrainians are suffering from the hell of war that has followed the Russian invasion on Feb. 24, debates have raged in the West over how the war started and who is responsible. But if people in the US specifically and the West in general insist on putting themselves at the center of this conflict—whether as the chief instigators or the necessary saviors—they will continue to misunderstand what this war is about and what its outcome will mean for Ukraine, Russia, and the larger geopolitical realignment that is unfolding in real time. In this urgent, unscheduled segment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with journalist, activist, and documentary filmmaker Lia Tarachansky about the West's failure to see Russian imperialism for what it is and to comprehend the reality of a world moving beyond the bounds of Western hegemony.Lia Tarachansky, born in Ukraine when it was still part of the Soviet Union, is an Israeli-Canadian journalist, documentary filmmaker, and multimedia artist.

On Oct. 2, a plane of Afghan refugees touched down in Albania after a five-day journey. The group included 120 women—police officers, judges, cyclists and others. It's the second effort coordinated by Israel's largest relief agency, IsraAID, along with Canadian-Israeli businessman Sylvan Adams and a few friendly Arab countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, to rescue Afghan refugees from the Taliban's recent takeover. Today, Adams is flying to Albania to meet with the refugees, who are being kept in a local hotel as they await a decision by the Canadian government over whether or not they can make it onto Canadian soil. And that's become a sticking point in this whole operation: rescuers, including the people at IsraAID, are growing increasingly frustrated at the slow pace of Canadian immigration bureaucracy—which they say is preventing them from saving even more Afghans. Yotam Polizer, the CEO of IsraAID, joins today to discuss his concern with the Canadian government and tell the inside story of how they got this latest group out of the fragile Central Asian country. What we talked about: Listen: "How billionaire Sylvan Adams helped rescue Afghanistan's women cyclists" (thecjn.ca) Read: "Canadian Jewish community eager to help Afghan refugees; private sponsorships are on hold for now" (thecjn.ca) Watch: "How Jews and Arabs worked together to pull off an impossible rescue mission" (cnn.com) Credits The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

The violence of Israeli occupation and apartheid has been happening for many years with unceasing support from the U.S. government. This is why many are rightly skeptical that anything will fundamentally change, even with the recent international outcry over Israeli forces' attack on worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, renewed airstrikes on Gaza, and the forced removal of Palestinian residents from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem. However, Palestinian resistance in Israel and the occupied territories, coupled with a growing international wave of resistance to the occupation, and solidarity with the people of Palestine, is reaching unprecedented levels, prompting many to wonder if the tide may actually be turning.In this urgent episode of “The Marc Steiner Show,” we bring you on-the-ground reports from Palestine and from the U.S. and Canada, where Jewish and Palestinian-American activists are fighting to end the occupation. In the first segment, Marc speaks with Palestine correspondent for Mondoweiss Yumna Patel, who's been reporting on the ground in the West Bank for five years, about what she's been seeing and reporting on these past two weeks. Then, we discuss the efforts of Palestinian-Americans in the U.S. to resist the occupation with Sammy Alqasem, Palestinian-American organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement in North America, and Laura Albast, Palestinian-American journalist, translator, digital content editor, and organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement in North America.Lastly, we kick off our ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” which will highlight the diverse voices of Jewish activists, artists, intellectuals, and others who are speaking out against the Israeli occupation. In the first installment of this series, Marc chats with Israeli-Canadian journalist, documentary filmmaker, and former TRNN Israel/Palestine correspondent Lia Tarachansky, as well as artist, author, and author of “Drawing Blood” and "Brothers of the Gun" (co-authored with Marwan Hisham), Molly Crabapple. Tune in for new episodes of The Marc Steiner Show every Tuesday on TRNN.
