Zionism didn't begin in the 19th century. It didn't start with pamphlets, politics, or Theodor Herzl. In Episode 1 of a five-part series, Noam Weissman goes back—way back—to uncover the prehistory of an idea, tracing how Zion became more than geography or borders. Long before modern ideology, it was a promise, a memory, and a direction Jews faced even when they were nowhere near it. This isn't a political argument—it's the opening chapter of a much older story. And it's only the beginning.

Sterilization standards look a lot different on paper than they do in the middle of a busy clinic day. That gap between policy and practice is the focus of this episode of "Sterilization Standards Unpacked," where host Sarah B. Cruz sits down with Nova Scotia Registered Dental Assistant Melissa Arnold to walk through what CSA-driven workflows actually look like in a typical dental office. From daily BI tests and load logs to cycle printouts, recalls, and patient traceability, Melissa shares how her team turned expectations into consistent habits. If your clinic is trying to move beyond "we've always done it this way," this conversation shows what it really takes to build a safer, more reliable sterilization process. This 5-part series pulls back the curtain on how Canadian dental teams are translating sterilization standards into real-world practice—one guideline, one cycle, one patient at a time. With each episode, we'll explore the people, processes, and evolving expectations driving dental sterilization forward. It's not about compliance checklists—it's about connection, clarity, and conversations that make the technical feel personal.

How do we survive the 24/7 news cycle without losing our balance—or ourselves? In Part 4 of our miniseries on mindfully engaging with the news, Rabbi Josh Feigelson introduces Shabbat Mind as a Jewish response to nonstop media and constant urgency. Reflecting on the disorientation of an always-on news environment, Josh reframes Shabbat not just as a weekly day of rest, but as a mindset that helps us step off the treadmill of breaking news. Drawing on the Hebrew connection between chadashot (news) and hitchadshut (renewal), he offers Shabbat as a practical path to staying informed while remaining grounded, present, and whole.

Let's unpack what happened during the legislative session this week in Olympia, including: unDivided whistleblower testifies in Olympia. Family farms worry unionization bill could spell disaster. Proposal would help state go after car tab scofflaws. Seattle area continues to hemorrhage jobs.

When BLOX opened in 2018, it divided opinion. Designed by OMA as the home of the Danish Architecture Center, the building was unlike anything Copenhagen had seen before, bold, complex and unapologetically different.  In this episode, host Michael Booth is joined by DAC CEO Kent Martinussen for a guided tour of BLOX, as the centre prepares an anniversary exhibition marking 40 years of DAC. Together they unpack the story behind the building: the unusual architect selection process, Rem Koolhaas' vision of architecture as urban infrastructure, and the idea of BLOX as a city within a city.  Moving from harbour-level plazas to dramatic interior spaces and rooftop terraces, the conversation explores how BLOX has evolved from controversy to everyday use, a flexible, lived-in building where culture, work and city life intersect.  Guest: Kent Martinussen, CEO, Danish Architecture Center Host: Michael Booth  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center.

In Part 2 of this two-part Unpacking Israeli History series on Israeli humanitarian aid, Noam Weissman follows IsraAid as it responds to the trauma and displacement inside Israel after October 7—building emergency schools, delivering psychological first aid, and supporting devastated communities. Then the story turns to an unprecedented chapter: IsraAid quietly helping facilitate aid and essential services for civilians in Gaza, navigating Israeli security concerns, international NGO bureaucracy, and the moral complexity of war. It's a revealing look at Israeli civil society at work—and what it means to try to save lives when politics can't.

What really happens at the microscopic level when we talk about "clean" in dental sterilization? In this episode of "Sterilization Standards Unpacked," host Sarah B. Cruz is joined by Dr. Atila Nozari, Senior Medical Liaison at Solventum, to connect the science of microbiology with the day-to-day realities of instrument reprocessing in dental practices. From bioburden and biofilm to the evidence behind modern sterilization standards, Dr. Nozari helps demystify the "why" behind the guidelines teams are being asked to follow. Whether you're brushing up on CSA standards or trying to connect policy with practice, this conversation bridges the gap between following a guideline "just because" and understanding the science that stands behind it. This 5-part series pulls back the curtain on how Canadian dental teams are translating sterilization standards into real-world practice—one guideline, one cycle, one patient at a time. With each episode, we'll explore the people, processes, and evolving expectations driving dental sterilization forward.

This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the idea of the news bubble—how algorithms, tribalism, and polarization shape what we see and how we react to the news. In Part 3 of a six-episode series on engaging with the news mindfully, Josh draws on Jewish wisdom and a powerful Talmudic teaching about being “soft like a reed and not stiff like a cedar” to reflect on how news bubbles can harden us into judgment and certainty, and how mindfulness can help us stay grounded, flexible, and compassionate. The episode closes with a guided meditation inviting listeners to notice their reactions to the news, soften their grip on judgment, and engage the world with more curiosity and spaciousness.

After October 7, stories about Israeli humanitarian aid can sound like hasbara—a Hebrew term for public diplomacy or advocacy meant to improve Israel's image. So in Part 1 of this two-part series, Noam Weissman asks a harder question: why does Israel keep rushing into disaster zones, often at real risk and with little strategic payoff? The episode traces Israel's early “soft diplomacy” under Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir, then turns to IsraAid, Israel's leading humanitarian NGO, through its work in drought-stricken Kenya and a daring evacuation during Afghanistan's 2021 collapse. Next week, the story continues when Noam explores what happens when Israeli aid enters Gaza—and the moral and societal tensions that follow.

What does Chabad have to offer a fractured world in 2025? On Wondering Jews with Mijal and Noam, Mijal Bitton and Noam Weissman are joined by renowned Chabad scholar and speaker Rabbi YY Jacobson to explore the enduring power of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's legacy. Chosen by our staff as the #2 top episode of the year and part of our countdown to the #1 Staff Pick, this conversation leans into Chabad's worldview, its nuanced relationship with Zionism, and its bold response to antisemitism. Rabbi Jacobson also shares how every Jew, religious or secular, can become an agent of healing, love, and redemptive consciousness. Click ⁠here⁠ to read Rabbi Jacobson's bio.

In this follow-up conversation, Noam Weissman and emotional attunement expert Toba Hellerstein move from theory to practice—using real-world case studies to explore how people are actually talking about Israel right now. Drawing on listener emails and educator questions, they tackle common scenarios like responding to social media posts about “ending the occupation,” navigating influential podcasts, addressing concerns about Gaza without triggering antisemitic labels, and supporting Jewish students under campus pressure. The focus isn't on winning arguments, but on emotional regulation, trust, and creating space for nuance in conversations where people are really asking: am I safe, do I belong, and do I matter? https://sapirjournal.org/authors/toba-hellerstein/ This episode is in memory of Leo Bernstein.

Feeling overwhelmed by Canada's newest dental sterilization standards? You're not alone. In this kickoff episode of our newest podcast series "Sterilization Standards Unpacked: Navigating Canada's Dental Guidelines," host Sarah B. Cruz takes us back to basics with a clear, practical look at who writes the standards, how they're enforced, and why they don't always look the same from province to province. Along the way, she breaks down the most common points of confusion for dental teams and explains how to begin building a more consistent, compliant approach to reprocessing. If your practice is ready to move from "we think we're compliant" to "we know we are," this episode is the place to start! This 5-part series pulls back the curtain on how Canadian dental teams are translating sterilization standards into real-world practice—one guideline, one cycle, one patient at a time. With each episode, we'll explore the people, processes, and evolving expectations driving dental sterilization forward. It's not about compliance checklists—it's about connection, clarity, and conversations that make the technical feel personal. A special thanks to our sponsor, Solventum Medical, for supporting this podcast series! #BeyondClean #Solventum #SterilizationStandardsUnpacked #DentalSterilization #SterileProcessing #Standards #Guidelines #Compliance

It's a fresh new year and this month on Unpacked, we're diving into Afar's Where to Go in 2026 list—but this year's picks are different. In 2026, we want to lessen the burden on overtouristed destinations and expand visitation to other parts of the world. Our editors carefully selected 24 emerging regions and overlooked locales that will inspire your next great adventure. Places like Da Nang, Vietnam's fifth-largest city and a coastal destination long beloved by Vietnamese travelers that's now drawing international attention with new luxury hotels, airline routes, and a Michelin-starred restaurant. In this episode, host Aislyn Greene talks with Liz Provencher, a food, drink, and travel writer who spent several weeks exploring Vietnam in 2025. Liz shares why Da Nang offers the best of both worlds: a bustling city with motor taxis and night markets, plus 40 miles of coastline, one of the last coastal rainforests in Vietnam, and regional dishes you literally cannot find anywhere else. Plan Your Da Nang Getaway (First, explore our Vietnam travel guide.) Stay —Book a room at the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, located within the protected Son Tra Peninsula nature reserve, designed by Bill Bensley, the architect behind the White Lotus Thailand hotel —Watch for the Mandarin Oriental opening in early 2026 —The Nobu hotel is also coming in 2026—once complete, it will be the city's tallest building, located on the beachfront Eat and Drink —Start your morning with mì quảng, a turmeric noodle soup topped with shrimp (or chicken, pork, or frog), herbs, and a crispy rice cracker —Day trip to Hoi An for cao lầu, a noodle soup that can only be made there —Explore the night markets for street food and the bustling energy Vietnam is known for See and Do —Spend time on Da Nang's 40 miles of stunning coastline along the South China Sea —Hike the Son Tra Peninsula, a protected nature reserve in the northern part of the city that's home to one of the last coastal rainforests in Vietnam —Take a day trip to Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site about 30 minutes away —Travel the coast in style on the Vietage Train by Anantara, a luxury train service connecting Da Nang to other cities along the central Vietnam coast Resources • Follow Liz's work on Instagram • Visit Liz's website • Explore all 24 destinations on Afar's Where to Go in 2026 list • Follow us on Instagram: @afarmedia Listen to All the Episodes in our Where to Go 2026 Series E1: T⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠his Island in the Bahamas Promises Pink Sand, Historic Hideaways, and Perfect Solitude ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ E2: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Why Peru's Second City Might Be Its Best-Kept Secret⁠⁠⁠⁠ E3: ⁠⁠⁠⁠The New 170-Mile Hiking Network Connecting Stockholm's Dreamy Archipelago⁠⁠⁠⁠ E4: ⁠⁠Route 66 Turns 100—and Albuquerque Is Ready to Celebrate ⁠⁠ E5: ⁠Why Morocco's Chill Capital Deserves Your Attention ⁠ E6: ⁠Three Hours From Nashville, the South's Next Great Food Capital Is Waiting⁠ E7: ⁠The French Riviera's Last Stop Before Italy—and Its Best-Kept Secret ⁠ E8: ⁠Skip the Serengeti Traffic Jams for This Under-the-Radar Kenyan Safari ⁠ E9: The Pacific Northwest's 80-Mile Playground Just Got Even Better E10: The White Lotus Architect Designed a Hotel in This Vietnamese City—Now the World Is Noticing (this one!)

It's a shiny new year, so this month on Unpacked, we're diving into Afar's ⁠⁠Where to Go list⁠⁠. And this year's list is a little different. Because in 2026, we want to lessen the burden on overtouristed destinations and expand visitation to other parts of the world. Our editors carefully selected 24 emerging regions and overlooked locales that will inspire your next great adventure. Like the Columbia River Gorge, a Pacific Northwest icon where waterfalls tumble from towering cliffs, the landscape shifts from rainforest to arid grasslands in under two hours, and a historic highway is being transformed into a car-free trail. In this episode, host Aislyn Greene talks with Zoe Baillargeon, a Portland-based travel writer who has spent years exploring this 80-mile stretch of cliffs, rivers, and vineyards. Zoe shares what's new in the Gorge—from a glamping resort with stargazing tents and views of Mount Hood to a newly reopened hot springs spa with thousand-year-old Indigenous roots, plus a James Beard–recognized wine farm and a historic highway being transformed into a car-free trail. Plan Your Columbia River Gorge Getaway (First, explore our Oregon travel guide.) Stay —Book a stargazing tent at Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge, a new glamping resort on 120 acres near White Salmon —Soak in natural mineral hot springs at the newly refurbished Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa.

Noam revisits his conversation with actor, Jewish advocate and fellow podcast host, Jonah Platt. In the episode, voted the #3 staff pick, Noam and Jonah sit down in LA to talk about identity, Israel, Hollywood, and why October 7 turned him into what he calls an “October 8th activist.” Jonah reflects on his Jewish upbringing, the rising fear around Jewish identity, and why he now proudly wears a Magen David. They dig into what Hollywood gets right (and wrong) about Jewish stories, why so few celebrities speak up for Israel, and how to navigate tough conversations using Jonah's “Five C's.” Jonah Platt is the host of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt.

Complete our 2025 survey: ⁠https://unpacked.bio/uihsurvey⁠ Book for the Jerusalem Marathon "Return, Reconnect, and Run for Resilience" tour: ⁠sababatravel.com⁠ In this Open Mic episode, Noam responds to a listener, Aviva's question: what does it even mean to say “Israel has a right to exist”—and who gets to decide that “right”? Noam argues that the debate is really about Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. He makes the case that the more urgent conversation is about how Israel exists, not whether it exists. The episode uses the 2025 NYC mayoral debate as a jumping-off point to explore Jewish peoplehood, modern self-determination, and double standards.

MarTech stack complexity is exploding despite consolidation predictions. Scott Brinker, VP of Platform Ecosystem at HubSpot and founder of chiefmartec.com, reveals why AI added 1,200 new vendors while eliminating just as many in 2025. He explains how agentic AI is shifting power from marketers to customers, breaking traditional sales playbooks as buyers use AI agents to research pricing and bypass controlled journeys.

#906. Brianna LaPaglia is back on the pod — and 2025 treated her like the full-on rollercoaster it was.

We talk the iconic Tarte Turks & Caicos trip, surviving Special Forces (and yes, the pain, sweat, and chaos that came with it), saying goodbye to BFFs and saying hello again to PlanBri Uncut, learning to be alone for the first time in forever, and the kind of self-discovery that hits differently when you've been through a lot.

What began as a joyful field trip marking Israel's 26th birthday—over a hundred religious high school students exploring northern Israel—turned into a nightmare when three Palestinian terrorists crossed in from Lebanon.
