One year ago, Hamas militants killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel and took hundreds more hostage.  Israel's military response has killed more than 41-thousand Palestinians in Gaza. The Gaza Health Ministry says more than half were women and children.  A second front has opened in southern Lebanon, where the Israeli military has been bombarding Iran-backed Hezbollah… which began firing rockets into Israel after October 7th.  Today, destruction, hunger, grief and displacement are the only certainties for millions of people in the path of this widening war. This week also marks the middle of the Jewish High Holy Days.  In Jewish tradition, it's a time meant for reflection and consideration of the year before, and preparation for the year ahead. Today, we're speaking with members of the Seattle-area Jewish community to hear how they're marking the anniversary of October 7th. Tomorrow, we'll hear how the local Palestinian community is reflecting on a year of war in Gaza.

Leadership is hard. Convincing others—and often yourself—that you possess the answers and are capable of world-affecting change requires confidence, insight, and sheer bravado. Political leader Stacey Abrams took the stage to share her awareness of the experiences and challenges that hinder anyone who exists beyond the structure of traditional white male power—women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make a difference. Abrams presented insight from her book Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change, asserting that knowing your own passion is the key to success, regardless of the scale or target. Abrams used her experience and hard-won insights to break down how ambition, money, fear, and failure function in leadership, while offering personal stories that illuminate practical strategies. Join Abrams for a conversation that shares what she has learned collected over the course of her impressive career: that being in the minority actually provides unique and vital strength, and differences in race, gender, and class are surmountable. Stacey Abrams is an author, serial entrepreneur, nonprofit CEO, and political leader. After eleven years in the Georgia House of Representatives, seven as Minority Leader, Abrams became the 2018 Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia. She has founded multiple organizations devoted to voting rights, training and hiring young people of color, and tackling social issues at both the state and national levels; and she is a lifetime member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Abrams is the 2012 recipient of the John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award and the first black woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party in the United States.

LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms) have shown significant promise as tools to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, and anxiety. But, according to bestselling writer Michael Pollan, these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life. Pollan—author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma—joined us to reveal firsthand insight on the landscape of the mind with wisdom from his new book 'How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence.' He shared his singular adventure into the experience of various altered states of consciousness, with a deep dive into the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan met with drug researcher and community engagement worker Ingrid Walker to sift the historical record and separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s. Together Pollan and Walker outlined a history of the handful of psychedelic evangelists who catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. Join Pollan and Walker for a conversation on the science and psychology of the psychedelic. Engage with the puzzle of human consciousness and explore how, in a world that offers us both struggle and beauty, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives. Michael Pollan is the author of seven previous books, including Cooked, Food Rules, In Defense of Food, The Omnivore’s Dilemma and The Botany of Desire, all of which were New York Times bestsellers. A longtime contributor to the New York Times Magazine, he also teaches writing at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley. In 2010, TIME magazine named him one of the one hundred most influential people in the world. Ingrid K. Walker is Associate professor of American Studies at the University of Washington, Tacoma. Her current research projects centers on engaging with drug users about their experiences, and developing a language to talk about drugs outside of the framework of medicalization or criminalization. Her writing has been published in the Journal of Popular Culture, NANO, publications of the Alcohol and Drug History Association, and others. She is the author of High: Drugs, Desire, and a Nation of Users. Recorded live at Temple De Hirsch Sinai by Town Hall Seattle on Tuesday, May 22, 2018.

Overt acts of anti-Semitism are increasingly common around the U.S. and here in Washington state. Mosques are burned and vandalized. People who look vaguely Middle Eastern are targeted by violent xenophobes, and racist bullies do what racist bullies do. Is hate the new black? We hear today from a lawmaker and a rabbi to get their take on increasing threats to America's sustaining values, and what they're doing about it.
