Podcasts about Tel Aviv

Noga Erez and Ori Rousso hang out with me while I make a kugel, roast some cauliflower and ask every dumb American question I can think of about Israel. We talk kosher food, awkward hugs, drunk alter egos, comedy as a love language, and why Tel Aviv food might ruin everywhere else. We also deep dive how their music somehow hits hip-hop, EDM, R&B, and Radiohead all at once.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Waves of Inspiration: A Beach Encounter in Tel Aviv Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2026-05-30-07-38-19-he Story Transcript:He: רוח קלה חלפה על פני החוף הנעים של תל אביב.En: A light breeze passed over the pleasant beach of Tel Aviv.He: ריח מלוח מהים ליטף את האוויר ושיחות צחוק עוברים בין מבקרים מאושרים.En: The salty smell of the sea caressed the air, and the sound of laughter flowed among the happy visitors.He: החוף היה מלא באנשי אזור ותיירים. כולם נהנו מהשמש האביבית החמימה.En: The beach was filled with locals and tourists alike, all enjoying the warm spring sun.He: בכסאות הקפה שבשפת הים, ישב איתן.En: On the chairs at the beachfront cafe sat Eitan.He: הוא היה עיתונאי צעיר שפקד על העולם שבחוץ בעיניים תוהות.En: He was a young journalist observing the outside world with curious eyes.He: איתן חיפש סיפור חדש לכתיבה לקראת חג השבועות. אבל המחשבה והתוכן חמקו ממנו.En: Eitan was looking for a new story to write for the upcoming Festival of Shavuot, but the thoughts and content eluded him.He: הוא חש מעט אבוד, מחפש השראה בסביבה שלו.En: He felt somewhat lost, seeking inspiration in his surroundings.He: מסביב, אנשים שתו קפה והסתובבו בין החנויות הקטנות, ומולם התפשט הים הכחול אינסופי.En: Around him, people were drinking coffee and browsing the small shops, with the endless blue sea stretching out before them.He: אבל משהו משך את תשומת לבו הפרטית.En: Yet something caught his private attention.He: קרוב לידו, אישה צעירה בשם מירה ישבה על כיסא וציירה במחברת שלה.En: Nearby, a young woman named Mira sat on a chair drawing in her notebook.He: מירה חזרה לישראל אחרי זמן רב בחו"ל.En: Mira had returned to Israel after a long time abroad.He: היא הייתה אמנית עם ספקות עצמיים שלא עזבו אותה, ובחיפוש אחר חיבור מחודש לשורשיה ותחושת משמעות.En: She was an artist plagued by self-doubt, searching for a renewed connection to her roots and a sense of meaning.He: טיפות שמש נצצו על המים כשמירה בחנה את המחברת שלה בעיניים חודרות אך מהוססות.En: Sunlight sparkled on the water as Mira examined her notebook with penetrating yet hesitant eyes.He: "מה זה כל החיפוש הזה?" היא שאלה את עצמה בלב.En: "What's all this searching?" she asked herself silently.He: איתן, שישב לא רחוק, שמע את הנימה שבקולה.En: Eitan, sitting not far away, heard the tone in her voice.He: היה במשהו בסקרנות בקרבה.En: There was something curious about her presence.He: לבסוף, הוא נעמד וניגש אליה עם חיוך.En: Finally, he stood up and approached her with a smile.He: "סליחה שאני מפריע, את משתפת בזמן הציור שלך? זה נראה מעניין," הוא אמר בנימוס.En: "Sorry to interrupt, do you share while you draw? It looks interesting," he said politely.He: מירה הרימה את ראשה. בעיניה היה תערובת של הפתעה וסקרנות.En: Mira lifted her head. Her eyes held a mixture of surprise and curiosity.He: "כן, כמובן," היא אמרה, נופלת מעט במילים.En: "Yes, of course," she said, slightly fumbling with her words.He: היא הסבירה לו על הקשיים שלה והתשוקה לחזור אל האמנות ולהרגיש שייכת.En: She explained to him her struggles and her passion to return to art and feel a sense of belonging.He: השיחה התקדמה ונפתחה בעולם של חלומות ושאיפות.En: The conversation progressed and opened up a world of dreams and aspirations.He: איתן גילה דרך חדשה לסיפור שלו.En: Eitan discovered a new path for his story.He: לא דרך אנשים חשובים באירועים גדולים, אלא בהשראה מהפשוט והרגיל.En: Not through important people at major events, but through inspiration from the simple and ordinary.He: הוא שאל אותה על החיים שלה, על האמנות שלה, והרגיש את הכתיבה מתהוות כמו גל על החוף.En: He asked her about her life, her art, and felt his writing take shape like a wave on the beach.He: מירה מצידה מצאה את עצמה נרגשת מהעניין והפרגון של איתן.En: Mira, on her part, found herself excited by Eitan's interest and support.He: היא החלה לראות את הכוח ביצירות שלה.En: She began to see the power in her creations.He: תמיד ישנן הזדמנויות חדשות. הלב של שניהם היה מלא תקווה והשראה.En: There are always new opportunities. Both of their hearts were filled with hope and inspiration.He: לאחר שהערב ירד, איתן ידע שמצא את סיפור השבועות שלו.En: As evening fell, Eitan knew he had found his Shavuot story.He: כנגד הים המסתלסל, המילים שלו נכתבו מחדש סיפור של תקווה חוצה גבולות.En: Against the swirling sea, his words rewrote a story of hope crossing borders.He: ומירה? היא חזרה לצייר, בטוחה ונרגשת, לגבי גוונים חדשים באמנות שלה.En: And Mira? She returned to her painting, confident and excited about new shades in her art.He: כך, על חוף תל אביב בשמש של ימים אלו, התחילו שני אנשים לחיות מחדש.En: Thus, on the beach of Tel Aviv in those sunny days, two people began to live anew.He: זרים שנפגשו במקרה, ושינו זה את חייהם של זה לנצח.En: Strangers who met by chance and changed each other's lives forever.

Subscribe now for ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content! Every May, Israelis celebrate the anniversary of their independence. For Palestinians, their memories are of dispossession and displacement. Beginning in late 1947, months before the official creation of the Jewish state, Jewish forces expelled Palestinian Arabs and destroyed their homes and villages. By the time the Nakba, which means catastrophe in Arabic, was over, some 750,000 Palestinians had been expelled in one of the first ethnic cleansing operations of the post-WWII era. Yet it took generations for this story to receive the attention it deserves — an alarming erasure because today's conflict cannot be understood without this "other half" of Israel's origin story. Historian Mark LeVine of the University of California-Irvine is our guest.

Amalek's Endgame: The Greater Israel Project, Secret Maps, and America's 30-Year Blood Debt! Today we're going full conspiracy time—raw, unfiltered, truth bombs on the Gaza slaughter, the Oct 7 “allowed to happen” setup, Amalek code words, tribunal theater, and the real endgame: Greater Israel's kingdom rising on Palestinian graves and American tax dollars. Folks, we've covered AIPAC's iron grip on DC in the last episode—how they own primaries, bury critics, and turn Congress into a blank check for Tel Aviv. Today we tie it straight to Smotrich and Netanyahu's maps, the Yinon Plan, the Clean Break blueprint, and why every US war in the Middle East for 30 years smells like Greater Israel prep work.  Web Site: www.DontTreadonMerica.com https://linktr.ee/DontTreadonMerica Email the show: Donq@donttreadonmerica.com DTOM Store (Promo code DTOM for 10% off) Sponsors: www.makersmark.com www.NordVPN.com  Promo Code: DTOM www.alppouch.com/DTOM www.dubby.gg Promo code: DTOM Social Media:   Don't Tread on Merica TV   DTOM on Facebook   DTOM on X    DTOM on TikTok    DontTreadonMericaTV   DTOM on Instagram    DTOM on YouTube

U.S. and Iranian negotiators have possibly reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding extending the current ceasefire and launching negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. The deal still needs President Trump's approval with the major sticking point for both sides remaining Iran's nuclear capability. President Trump has many times reiterated that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, a stance he sees as a positive for the whole world. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Ashley Webster, FOX Business Channel correspondent reporting from Tel Aviv, who says the deal is not set in stone just yet.

A US-Iran deal appears to be taking shape — and Israel isn't in the room. As diplomatic back-channels buzz and American strikes on Iran continue under a ceasefire that apparently requires bombing to maintain, Netanyahu finds himself watching from the outside: no seat at the table, no answers on the nuclear file, no movement on proxies. Meanwhile, two hostage parents — whose sons were held in Gaza at the same time — are entering Israeli politics from opposite ends of the spectrum, a story that says more about where the country is heading than any poll. Plus: the Caroline Glick appointment, the Israel Solidarity Parade in New York, antisemitism in London's British Museum, and a Chutzpah award for a congressman whose concession speech managed to be both funny and deeply troubling. This week's Mensch of the Week will leave you wanting to move to Tel Aviv. Note: The name of the Republican congressman challenged by Dan Bilzerian in Florida is, in fact, Randy Fine.

THE KGB INVENTED ANTI-ZIONISM AND YOUR KID'S HISTORY TEACHER ASSIGNED THE TEXTBOOK. Thomas Massie lost the most expensive House primary in history and opened his concession speech with a Tel Aviv joke while Hasan Piker mourned. We trace the sixty-year pipeline from KGB propaganda to mandatory high school reading to the libertarian movement celebrated by its own enemies. Jennifer Welch says masculinity is fascism — a Harlem pastor says the Democrats made p*ssies out of their men. Plus Judge Napolitano on Clarence Thomas's SCOTUS dissent and Naomi Brockwell on what the government is buying about you right now without a warrant.

On this week's episode, Israel Policy Forum Policy Advisor and Tel Aviv-based journalist Neri Zilber hosts Chief Policy Officer Michael Koplow and Distinguished RAND Israel Policy Chair Shira Efron. The trio discuss the looming deal between the U.S. and Iran over an end to the war, what the agreement likely includes and critically omits, who won the war if it ends this way, how Netanyahu may try to spin the ensuing deal, what impact it could have on the ongoing fighting in Lebanon, the dangerous state of play in Gaza, and more. Support the showFollow us on Instagram, Twitter/X, and Bluesky, and subscribe to our email list here.

Interview with Lea Koenig (ליאַ קעניג), one of Israel's most beloved stage actresses, together with Yaniv Goldberg, author of The Stage of Her Life: Conversations with Actress Lea Koenig on Theater and Her Life. The program focuses on Koenig's long career in Yiddish theater as well as Israeli Hebrew-language theater, TV and film. Born into a Yiddish theatrical family, Koenig became known internationally for her work in both Yiddish and Hebrew. Goldberg's book, published in late 2025 by Academic Studies Press of Newton, Massachusetts, grew out of years of conversations with Koenig about her life, her artistry, her Yiddish background and her central place in Israeli cultural life. Dr. Yaniv Shimon Goldberg is a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University and an expert on the Yiddish language and Jewish theater. He is also a rabbi, attorney, theater director and scholar of law and theater whose work includes research on legal issues in Yiddish drama. Goldberg’s reading of brief excerpts from his introduction to the book (in English) are interspersed at a couple of points during the interview. The interview included actors and Yiddish activists Mikhl Yashinsky and Hy Wolfe as special guest co-hosts. We did the interview on Zoom on May 6, 2026. Yaniv and Lea participated from Lea’s home in Tel Aviv; Mikhl was on tour in Australia; and Hy was at his home in New York City. This Sunday, May 31, 2026, Mikhl is leading a community read IN YIDDISH of selections from Max Spitzkopf: The Yiddish Sherlock Holmes, the book by Jonas Kreppel that he translated.

He's connected and close to his family, which he notes is how he refreshes and reloads as a founder, alongside playing tennis from time to time.Ofir and his cofounder started interviewing CISO's and security professionals on how they feel about access management. The found out that this was the first line of attack for bad actors, but from a business standpoint, access management is a slow to value feature. They decided to build a platform that was based on just in time access, over the slow to value setup plaguing the industry.This is the creation story of Apono.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://www.apono.io/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ofir-stein/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/mt82fpxl #CashAppPod.

Historian David Yaghoubian joins Rev Left Radio to discuss the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the genocide in Gaza, the assault on Lebanon, and the broader imperial-Zionist project to dominate West Asia. Drawing from his 2014 monograph Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran, Yaghoubian explains why Washington and Tel Aviv have repeatedly misunderstood Iranian society, underestimated Iranian national cohesion, and fantasized that sanctions, bombing, covert operations, or minority pressure could fracture the country from within. Together, Breht and David explore Iran's history of resisting foreign domination, the reactionary nature of the Iranian diaspora in the United States, the ethno-religious complexity of Iranian society, Iranian national cohesion, the strategic significance of the Strait of Hormuz, the relationship between Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, and the ideological inversion through which the U.S. and Israel present themselves as defenders of "stability" while unleashing coups, sanctions, assassinations, occupations, and genocide across the region. They also discuss how anti-imperialists should defend Iran against U.S.-Zionist aggression without flattening Iranian society or denying its internal contradictions. This is a conversation about nationalism, sovereignty, resistance, and the failure of empire to understand the peoples it seeks to dominate. Dr. David N. Yaghoubian is Professor of Modern West Asian and Islamic History at California State University-San Bernardino and author of "Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran" (Syracuse, 2014) and co-editor of "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East" (3rd edition forthcoming). ----------------------------------------- Check out a great new resource for revolutionary education, Unlearning Capitalism: https://unlearn.capital/ Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio   Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

Israel's Massive Pride Celebration vs Nigeria's LGBTQ Crackdown | This Gay Week This week on This Gay Week, Karel and journalist Scott Jacobsen report from Kyiv to break down the biggest LGBTQ stories happening around the world — from celebration and visibility to fear and persecution. In Nigeria and Cameroon, LGBTQ prisoners are still being jailed simply for existing. The organization Project Not Alone is working to literally buy freedom for some detainees, but how does that system work, and why are people being abandoned by the world community? Meanwhile, Israel is hosting a massive four-day Pride celebration in Tel Aviv near the Dead Sea, drawing LGBTQ tourists from around the globe. But with tensions exploding across the Middle East, is now the right time for a major international Pride event? Plus: • Marcia Gay Harden delivers an important message for mothers everywhere • LGBTQ youth are damaging their health in record numbers using a legal substance — what is happening? • Global LGBTQ headlines, politics, culture, and human rights stories you need to know Karel and Scott bring perspective, passion, and global insight to the stories shaping LGBTQ life around the world.

Stew breaks down the news of the day, including how Thomas Massie just got Zionist-replaced in Kentucky's 4th District. The most expensive House primary in U.S. history — over $32 million poured in by Miriam Adelson, AIPAC, Paul Singer, John Paulson, and the rest of the Israel lobby working hand-in-glove with Trump's team — to knock out the one guy who wouldn't kiss Tel Aviv's ass.. Jeff Berwick joins Stew to rip apart the Hanta virus hoax — this so-called pandemic literally means “bullshit” in Hebrew slang.

As Israel is fighting enemies on multiple fronts, it can't afford to lose any of its vital strategic assets. And according to Dr. Avishay Ben Sasson-Gordis, a researcher at Tel Aviv's Institute for National Security Studies, it is in danger of losing one of those assets: the support of American Jews. "The loss of the special relationship between Israel and the US will force Israel to reconsider its security priorities and matter greatly to the security and foreign policy of the State of Israel," Sasson-Gordis told the Haaretz Podcast. "Within that, the Jewish community over the decades has been a major pillar of that support." A new report co-authored by Sasson-Gordis details the data behind the deterioration of support and explains the reasons for the dramatic drop – even as the Trump White House is offering "unprecedented levels of support" for Israel. The report is intended as a wake-up call for Israeli leaders and offers a list of policy recommendations designed to stave off the deterioration. Polls show that among the U.S. public at large, "Israel is in the red in terms of net public support in every audience except older Republicans – even traditional groups that the current government and previous Israeli governments have seen as stalwart supporters of Israel." The Jewish community faces a "generational cliff," he said, as American Jews, particularly young Jews, are deeply influenced by the multi-front wars waged by Israel. "If you're today a young American Jew who is not very strongly affiliated with Israel to begin with, then the experiences that you've had – either on campus or where you work or on social media – cause you to wonder whether supporting Israel is worth it for you socially and morally." But even older members of the U.S. Jewish establishment, including institutional leaders, he said, "feel like Israel is not listening to them and is not interested in their opinions, even as they are increasingly affected by Israeli actions on the ground."

Der Konflikt zwischen Israel und den Palästinensern polarisiert die Menschen auch in Europa. Das konnte man zuletzt beim Eurovision Song Contest erleben, der zur Projektionsfläche wurde: Zwischen Boykott und Solidarität, Antisemitismus- und Rassismusdebatten prallen in Europa unterschiedliche Wahrnehmungen aufeinander. Aber auch in Israel, wo bei vielen Menschen das Gefühl herrscht, international isoliert zu sein und wieder andere auf mehr Druck von außen gegen die Regierung Netanjahus hoffen. Gleichzeitig erleben die Menschen in Gaza eine humanitäre Katastrophe zwischen zerstörter Infrastruktur und fehlender Versorgung. Die Lage ist verfahren: Trumps Friedensplan und die Entwaffnung der Hamas sind bisher gescheitert. Die Hisbollah-Miliz ist weiter aktiv und Leidtragende sind die Menschen, die gerne in Frieden leben würden. In dieser Gemengelage ringt auch Deutschland um eine Haltung zwischen historischer Verantwortung, diplomatischer Vorsicht und wachsender Kritik. Hadija Haruna-Oelker spricht über die Situation, mögliche Lösungen und Versöhnung mit Ofer Waldman von der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Tel Aviv, unserer EU-Korrespondentin Sabrina Fritz, Christian Katzer, Geschäftsführer von “Ärzte ohne Grenzen”, dem Chefredakteur des Magazins „zenith“ Daniel Gerlach und der Deutsch-Palästinenserin Jouanna Hassoun, die sich mit ihrem Verein “Transaidency” für politische Bildung einsetzt.

Você dormiu bem, fez exercício, tirou um fim de semana — e ainda assim acorda cansada. Isso não é frescura. É esgotamento mental crônico.Neste episódio, exploramos por que o burnout feminino moderno não tem a ver com preguiça, mas com sobrecarga cognitiva acumulada, trabalho emocional invisível e um sistema nervoso que nunca aprendeu a desligar.Com base em estudos da Harvard Medical School, Stanford, Universidade de Tel Aviv e do Journal of Experimental Psychology, você vai entender:→ Por que o cérebro continua "trabalhando" mesmo enquanto você dorme→ O que é carga cognitiva acumulada e como ela rouba sua energia→ Como a ansiedade disfarçada de produtividade impede o descanso real→ O papel das redes sociais no seu esgotamento emocional→ O que é a "pausa não produtiva intencional" e como ela recalibra o sistema nervosoSe você vive no modo sobrevivência e sente que o descanso não descansa — esse episódio é pra você.#burnout #saúdemental #esgotamento #ansiedade #produtividade #mulheres #bemestar #neurociência

Hope you're having a great week — or at least a better week than certain senators and congressmen who thought it would be okay to run against Trump and smear his supporters.Did you see Thomas Massie — the Kentucky congressman who lost his primary after slamming Trump? In his concession speech he said he was unable to reach his opponent because he “was in Tel Aviv.” Running against Trump is part of the democratic process and should be welcomed — using slurs against your opponent is not. The world is turning very dark, very antisemitic. We are here to expose and explain it all.On this week's podcast we bring you the latest about these and other issues — including what they're NOT telling you about the ABORTION PILL.Did you know the FDA is still withholding 125,000 pages of documents about the safety of the pill that is the most common method of abortion in the US? In the podcast we lay out exactly what's being hidden and why it matters.And it's official — girls aren't safe in Australia anymore.An Australian man, pretending to be a woman, has now sued a girls-only app which excluded him, and won in court after court, and been given full access. The courts ruled he can invade female spaces and they're fining anyone who tries to stop him. We break down the full ruling and what it means for women's spaces everywhere.We're joined by the brilliant broadcaster and journalist Mollie Hemingway, who reveals why she thinks Samuel Alito is the most underrated Supreme Court Justice in America. And you will not believe the dangerous behavior of the liberal justices on the court who seemed to do all they could to bring harm to their colleagues in the run-up to the historic Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade. You can buy her book at the link below.And we may hate Harvey Weinstein's politics, but we hate mob justice even more. After his latest trial in New York, it's time to say: free Harvey Weinstein and end the “Believe All Women” madness. We give you the full story of his case and the disturbing details the public hasn't heard. It really is an untold story. When Harvey Weinstein was first on trial we were at the courthouse every day and produced our verbatim podcast series, The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered. Please check it out at the link below.And in our “Crazy Headline of the Week” series there's a hot new “intellectual” take on the Frankenstein story — and according to the smart set, the monster isn't who you think it is.

Ramesses and Hattusili (Part 2). After the marriage to a Hittite princess in Year 34, Ramesses II had much to offer his northern family. A visit from the King of Hatti's son, seeking food supplies, may relate to repeated hunger crises in Syria and Hatti. Pharaoh's support brought the two kingdoms closer together, although we must wonder if the Bronze Age Collapse has now begun... Finally a text known as the Bentresh Stela offers a fairytale memory of Ramesses' relations with Hatti. Music: Keith Zizza. Music: Luke Chaos. == Select References - Hattusili and Ramesses Brand, P.

As criticism of Israel mounts over its wars on Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, along with the escalating settler violence in the occupied West Bank, the country is ramping up its PR offensive. From a carefully managed appearance of Benjamin Netanyahu on CBS's 60 Minutes to a major expansion of Israel's Hasbara operation, the push includes pouring money into digital campaigns and media messaging. The goal is to reverse the collapse of public support for Israel, especially in the US, but no amount of spin can make audiences unsee what they have watched in real time. Contributors: Miriyam Aouragh - Professor of digital anthropology, University of Westminster Matt Lieb - Host, Bad Hasbara podcast Emily Schrader - Journalist, ILTV News Oren Ziv - Reporter, Local Call On our radar Israeli officials have dismissed a recent New York Times report on sexual violence against Palestinians as “blood libel”. But while the government denounces the allegations, many of the claims in the report have been openly discussed in the Israeli media. Nicholas Muirhead reports. Zaragoza Data Farms The generative AI boom is prompting a global race to build vast, energy-hungry data centres. In Spain's Aragon region, authorities have welcomed tech giants and the jobs, investment and digital transformation they claim to bring. But behind the glossy narrative lies a different reality - one in which enormous facilities consume natural resources and exploit legal loopholes, often at the expense of the communities that live alongside them.

What I really want to get at is that the way the tribes or indigenous cultures regard these medicines is through community, song, prayer, connection to nature, reciprocity, those are all values that even the clinical world can borrow and emulate as they design their trials." –Madison MargolinAbout Madison Margolin:Madison is an author and journalist who straddles California, New York, and the Israel-Palestine region, with a focus on psychedelics, cannabis, and Judaism — jokingly referring to it as “Jews & Drugs.” Her reporting also spans culture, policy, and science.

Chairman of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Dr. Yuval Steinitz says Israel's strike on top IRGC leadership during the last round of war with Iran took just 10 seconds. And that Israel achieved air superiority in just 36 hours… In this episode, the Israel Daily News shares highlights from a private Tel Aviv briefing with Dr. Steinitz, where he reveals how Israel weakened Iran's nuclear and ballistic capabilities and how rapidly changing alliances across the Middle East are reshaping the region after the war. PodSnacks.com Code:EXJ67Israel Daily News website: https://israeldailynews.orgYOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@israeldailynews?si=UFQjC_iuL13V7tyQIsrael Daily News Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/shannafuldSupport our Wartime News Coverage: https://www.gofundme.com/f/independent-journalist-covering-israels-warLinks to all things IDN:⁠ https://linktr.ee/israeldailynews⁠

Adeena Sussman has published three solo cookbooks, with the latest, Zariz, landing as the culmination of a possible trilogy, arriving after Sababa and Shabbat. Adeena is a Tel Aviv–based, Palo Alto–raised food writer who joins me in the studio for a great conversation. I absolutely love an Adeena Sussman cookbook, which includes her own work as well as collaborations with Chrissy Teigen and others. Adeena's books are creative, thoroughly tested, and show how Jewish food identity is represented in multitudes around the world. In this episode, we talk about her life in Israel and how this new book was written with ease in mind.

Adam Goldbruch still remembers the celebration. In 2017, he stood inside a Tel Aviv startup office while employees cheered a milestone: a Disney princess quiz had generated “2.8 million page views,” he tells us. Champagne circulated as the founder delivered a visionary speech about changing communication through content.At the time, Goldbruch was young enough to be swept up in the excitement, but skeptical enough to question what those metrics truly meant. Three years later, he found himself in the same company leading cost reductions and layoffs after realizing the celebrated KPI had not translated into sustainable value, he tells us.That experience shaped the finance philosophy he carries today as CFO of DoorLoop. Goldbruch's career began in construction finance, where he learned unit economics by seeing how materials and labor translated into physical buildings, he tells us. He later built FP&A functions across startups, private firms, and public companies, experiences that taught him how to identify the operational “ropes” that actually move a business forward.At DoorLoop, that mindset surfaced again when leadership considered several new monetization initiatives. Rather than chase immediate revenue, Goldbruch modeled one-, three-, and five-year outcomes and concluded the company should focus on expanding the number of property units served, he tells us.For Goldbruch, finance leadership is not about celebrating vanity metrics. It is about identifying the measurements that compound value over time.

On today's page, Chullin 12, the rabbis wrestle with a deceptively modern question: when can we trust that someone claiming expertise actually knows what they're doing? Is watching a person perform a task enough, or do credentials and reputation matter more than appearances alone? The daf becomes a meditation on trust, supervision, and the limits of what we can truly verify, themes that feel especially urgent in an age of AI, performance, and manufactured authority. In a world full of experts, how do we tell the real thing from the convincing fake? Listen and find out. Also mentioned in today's episode: A Tie in Tel Aviv

American artist, illustrator, writer, and designer Maira Kalman, author of Women Holding Things, Sara Berman's Closet, and many other illustrated books, talks about her Belarus-born Jewish mother, Sara. After leaving her husband in Tel Aviv, Sara began a new life in New York — and, at 60, finally found her true identity, and her happiest self. From Sara, we learn about making order out of chaos, surrounding ourselves with beautiful things, trusting our own vision instead of seeking outside approval, and living with meaning, purpose, and humor.

In this episode of Jewish Voices, American Stories, we'll explore the powerful role Jewish musicians have played in shaping the soundtrack of America. From the concert hall to Broadway to the radio, music has always helped tell the story of our nation—and Jewish voices have played a part in that story in profound and lasting ways.We begin with Itzhak Perlman, a world-renowned violinist whose journey from Tel Aviv to American stages captivated millions. Despite physical challenges from childhood polio, Perlman's joy, warmth, and extraordinary talent have brought classical music into living rooms across the country—and reminded audiences that music has the power to unite, uplift, and inspire.Next, Jimmy Burns takes us to Broadway, where composer Richard Rodgers helped define the golden age of American musical theater. Through iconic works like Oklahoma!, South Pacific, and The Sound of Music, Rodgers didn't just write songs—he helped tell the American story itself, weaving themes of hope, justice, and human dignity into melodies that still resonate today.Finally, CJ Burroughs shares a deeply personal reflection on Neil Diamond, a legendary singer-songwriter whose music became part of the fabric of American life. From the Brill Building to sold-out arenas, Diamond's songs carried echoes of Jewish faith, longing, and identity—offering light, comfort, and connection to generations of listeners.These stories remind us that music is more than entertainment—it's memory, identity, and testimony. And through these Jewish artists, the soundtrack of America has been enriched with melodies of resilience, faith, and hope.To learn more about God's people—from the days of the Bible through the present—visit The Fellowship's Learn Center.

Today on the show, it's been more than a month since the U.S. and Iran began a shaky ceasefire, and a peace deal is under active consideration. Fareed is joined by Danny Citrinowicz, a senior researcher at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies and former head of the Iran branch of Israel's military intelligence, to discuss what a real negotiated peace might look like. Then, this July marks the 250th anniversary of America's founding. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author Beverly Gage went on a road trip across the country visiting historic sites, museums, and national monuments to better understand America's complex past. She tells Fareed what she learned. Her new book chronicling her trip is “This Land Is Your Land: A Road Trip Through U.S. History.” GUESTS: Danny Citrinowicz (@citrinowicz), Beverly Gage (@beverlygage) Learn more about your ad choices.
