Does upzoning actually lead to more housing?   In this episode, YIMBY Law's Sonja Trauss sits down with Yonah Freemark, a researcher at the Urban Institute, to discuss his latest research on how upzoning affects housing construction in New York City and Philadelphia.   The conversation explores what makes an upzoning effective, why some zoning changes produce more housing than others, and what Yonah's earlier research on Chicago taught him about the relationship between zoning, development, and property values. Sonja and Yonah also discuss how new housing affects affordability through “moving chains,” why median rents can obscure people's actual experiences with housing costs, and why housing supply can have different effects in different types of communities.   They also discuss the relationship between researchers and housing advocates, how YIMBY activism has helped create new opportunities for housing research, and why advocates need both on-the-ground experience and research to make stronger arguments for housing policy.   Yonah Freemark's recent research discussed in this episode: https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/what-made-zoning-reforms-philadelphia-and-new-york-city-impactful Join YIMBY Action's Email List: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/yimby-action-mailing-list Learn more about YIMBY Action: yimbyaction.org/join Follow YIMBY Action on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yimbyaction/ Follow YIMBY Action on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/yimbyaction.bsky.social Follow YIMBY Action on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yimbyaction/

The European Union has given money and support to the Palestinian Authority to make facts on the ground, which go against the Oslo accords and other agreements made, but not kept. Tamar Yonah speaks to Naomi Kahn, Director of Regavim's International Division about this article below. The Regavim Movement Responds to European Union Sanctions: “European hypocrisy will not deter us. We are Israel.” “We consider it a badge of honor that the European Union has chosen to include us on the distinguished list of defenders of the Land of Israel." "For two decades, we have exposed the massive funding invested by the European Union in the establishment of a Palestinian terror state — in violation of the law and international agreements — including the funneling of millions of European taxpayers' money toward illegal construction on the national lands of the Jewish People and support for organizations that aid terrorism. To the dismay of those who seek to harm Israel and Israelis, the courts have repeatedly accepted our petitions against rampant illegal construction and land seizure, ruling that the law must be enforced. In the face of false and antisemitic ‘settler violence' campaigns, we have consistently published the facts and irrefutable data, defending the good name of IDF soldiers, the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria and the State of Israel as a whole. " The attempt to silence us — and to quell the Zionist revolution in Judea and Samaria of which our research and policy formulation are a proud and active part— through draconian sanctions only fills us with pride. We pledge to continue working to restore governance and sovereignty throughout all parts of our homeland." We are Israel. www.Regavim.org The Tamar Yonah Show 17MAY2026 - PODCAST

Jonathan Pollard says: "I'm putting my hand out to Moshe Feiglin. Unify! If you want my head, I'll give it to you, but Jewish unity has to be achieved at any cost!" Jonathan Pollard steps boldly into Israel's political arena — and this time, he's not just a symbol, he's a candidate. Running for the Knesset with the emerging Orot HaShachar (“The Dawn Is Here”) party on the political right, Pollard joins Tamar Yonah for an eye-opening conversation that goes far beyond headlines. Who is really behind this new movement? What challenges lie ahead? And can this rising party rally enough support — and unify others — to reshape Israel's political future? This powerful interview pulls back the curtain on the strategy, the vision, and the stakes. Will Orot HaShachar catch the wave it needs to bring a stronger, larger, and safer Israel into the light? Tune in — because this discussion brings the daylight… and the dawn may already be breaking.

On this show, we start to talk about economics and how the war is shaping things, but as the guest's phone call doesn't go well, Tamar switches to the news, Iran's threat on the world, and she takes calls on the show from listeners. The Tamar Yonah Show 03MAY2026 - PODCAST

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Harnessing Creativity: A Boarding School Passover Play Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2026-04-17-22-34-01-he Story Transcript:He: אור בוקר עדין זרח מבעד לחלונות הגדולים של בית הספר הפנימייתי, מותיר ניצנוצי אור על הפרחים הוורודים של עצי הדובדבן שבחצר.En: The gentle morning light streamed through the large windows of the boarding school, leaving sparkles of light on the pink flowers of the etzi ha-dovdevvan in the yard.He: הבית ספר נמצא בלב כפר שקט, מוקף בבניינים ישנים שעשויים לבנים אדומות.En: The school is located in the heart of a quiet village, surrounded by old buildings made of red bricks.He: התנועה היחידה על המדשאה הייתה שירה, מנידה את שולי שמלתה בעוד היא צועדת במהירות לכיוון התיאטרון הקטן של בית הספר.En: The only movement on the lawn was Shira, swaying the hem of her dress as she quickly walked towards the school's small theater.He: שירה פתחה את הדלת ושלושת הצעדים לכיוון הבמה הקטנה היו מכונים היטב, אך עיניה היו נתונות רק לבחינת המתחילים לקראת ההצגה לסוף השנה - מחזה פסח.En: Shira opened the door, and her three steps towards the small stage were well-practiced, but her eyes were solely focused on examining the beginners in preparation for the year-end performance - the Passover play.He: זה היה תפקיד גדול עבור צווי, תלמיד חרוץ שהעדיף לוותר על תשומת הלב, ועכשיו היה אחראי על הבימוי.En: It was a big role for Tzvi, a diligent student who preferred to avoid attention, and now was in charge of directing.He: הוא עבד קשה, אך חש לחוץ ולא בטוח בתפקידו כמנהיג.En: He worked hard but felt pressured and unsure in his role as a leader.He: על הבמה עמד יונה, הכוכב הספונטני של המחזה, עובד על טקסט שהוא לעתים קרובות שוכח.En: On the stage stood Yonah, the spontaneous star of the play, working on a text he often forgot.He: הוא הביט סביב, מחכה לתגובות מהקהל הריק.En: He looked around, waiting for reactions from the empty audience.He: "מה דעתך על תוספת קטנה שלי?En: "What do you think of my little addition?"He: ", שאל יונה את צווי, כשבתוך אחת ידיו מצנפת בד אדומה.En: Yonah asked Tzvi, holding a red fabric cap in one hand.He: צווי נאנח.En: Tzvi sighed.He: "יונה, יש לנו תסריט ברור", אמר, קולו רועד מעט.En: "Yonah, we have a clear script," he said, his voice slightly trembling.He: אבל מבטו של יונה היה מלא ביטחון עצמי שמשך אליו את הקהל הפנימי שלו.En: But Yonah's look was full of self-confidence, attracting his own internal audience.He: שירה נענעה בראשה חיוך.En: Shira shook her head with a smile.He: "צווי, אולי תאפשר לו קצת חופש בשביל היצירתיות שלו?En: "Tzvi, maybe let him have some freedom for his creativity?"He: " היא לחשה כשהתקרבה.En: she whispered as she approached.He: צווי חשב, גם מועד, שמא נראה קטן בעיני שירה.En: Tzvi thought, hesitant, for fear of appearing foolish in Shira's eyes.He: הוא ידע שעליו לכבד את עבודתה על הבמה, אבל הכבדות של המחויבות העיקה עליו.En: He knew he had to respect her work on stage, but the weight of the responsibility was weighing on him.He: השעות חלפו והתחילה החזרה הגנרלית, אבל שום דבר לא הכין את צווי לקראת הקטסטרופה.En: The hours passed, and the final rehearsal began, but nothing prepared Tzvi for the catastrophe.He: סצינה שחשבה שתהיה חזקה החלה להתפרק.En: A scene he thought would be strong began to unravel.He: ההתרחשויות הלכו והסתבכו כשכובעו של יונה נפל ושירה לא הצליחה למצוא את האביזר החשוב בזמן.En: The events became complicated when Yonah's hat fell, and Shira failed to find the crucial prop in time.He: צווי, מותש ומתוסכל, מצא את הקול שהוא אף פעם לא העלה קודם ומתח ויכוח קולני עם יונה.En: Exhausted and frustrated, Tzvi found a voice he had never raised before and started a loud argument with Yonah.He: כולם בהו בתדהמה כשזעם צווי יצא החוצה.En: Everyone stared in amazement as Tzvi's anger came out.He: שירה ניגשה אליו בעדינות.En: Shira approached him gently.He: "צווי, בוא נקשיב זה לזה", אמרה בשלווה.En: "Tzvi, let's listen to each other," she said calmly.He: פתאום הוא הבין שהיא צודקת.En: Suddenly he realized she was right.He: יחד הם ישבו עם כולם בשולחן עגול, עם תה מתוק ועוגיות.En: Together they sat with everyone at a round table, with sweet tea and cookies.He: הם דיברו, צחקו, והבינו איך לשלב את היצירתיות של יונה עם הנחיות הבמה המדויקות של צווי.En: They talked, laughed, and understood how to combine Yonah's creativity with Tzvi's precise stage directions.He: ההצגה עברה שינוי כיוון.En: The play took a new direction.He: ערב הופעת סוף השנה, הכל הרגיש נכון.En: On the evening of the year-end performance, everything felt right.He: האנרגיה בחדר הייתה חיובית ואופטימית.En: The energy in the room was positive and optimistic.He: כשהווילון נפתח, התנועה סביב הבמה הייתה חיה, עם יתרונות הטקסט המועברים כהרגלם והאלתורים של יונה.En: When the curtain opened, the movement around the stage was lively, with the advantages of the text delivered as usual and Yonah's improvisations.He: הקהל לא פסק מלהריע כשהמחזה הסתיים.En: The audience did not stop cheering as the play ended.He: צווי למדו שלפעמים, להנהיג אומר לדעת מתי להקשיב.En: Tzvi learned that sometimes, to lead means knowing when to listen.He: הוא הבין את החשיבות של להיות חלק מקבוצה ולא רק נשיא בודד על הבמה.En: He understood the importance of being part of a group, not just a solitary president on the stage.He: הוא הביט סביב, עיניו נתקלו בעיניה של שירה, והיא הביטה בו עם חיוך גאה.En: He looked around, and his eyes met Shira's, who looked at him with a proud smile.He: העולם נראה פתאום כיותר מזמין ומלא אפשרויות.En: The world suddenly seemed more inviting and full of possibilities.He: פסח בבית הספר היה הצלחה גדולה, אבן גבול בתהליך הלמידה של צווי.En: Passover at the school was a great success, a milestone in Tzvi's learning process.

On February 28, 2026, Ali Khamenei was assassinated. He was killed in a joint American and Israeli airstrike, in a bunker so deep the elevator took five minutes to reach it, at a meeting with senior advisers whose location intelligence services had tracked for months. The infrastructure that made this targeted assassination possible—the human networks engaged in the patient penetration of one of the most hostile intelligence environments on earth—had been built over more than two decades. Today, Yonah Jeremy Bob joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to delve into how the Mossad build that infrastructure. Bob is the senior military and intelligence analyst for the Jerusalem Post and has deep access to the Israeli intelligence community. His book Target Tehran, co-authored with Ilan Evyatar and published by Simon & Schuster in 2023, was named a top book of the year by the Wall Street Journal. When Prime Minister Netanyahu was photographed in his war room during Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025, a copy of Target Tehran was visible on the table in front of him. Bob also has a forthcoming book with the Wall Street Journal's Elliot Kaufman, titled In the War Room: The Inside Story of Israel's Fight Against Hamas and the Iranian Axis. Before the airstrikes, there was a decades-long effort to recruit agents inside the nuclear program, to infiltrate Iran's supply chains, and to track and, when necessary, to assassinate the Iranian officials and weapons producers who posed the greatest threat to Israel and America. This episode examines three operations in depth—the 2018 theft of Iran's nuclear archive, the assassination of the weapons-program chief Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, and the infiltration of the supply chain for the Natanz nuclear complex—and asks what Israeli human intelligence is contributing to Operations Roaring Lion and Epic Fury.

What if Megillat Esther is not the most hidden book in Tanakh, but the most brilliantly written one? Secrets of the Scroll--a series produced for this Purim and hosted by Rabbanit Shani Taragin--presents the book of Esther as a text written in code. A story where God is hidden, miracles are quiet, and redemption unfolds through courage, strategy, and deep biblical memory. This is not a surface level Purim series. It is a journey into the inner language of Tanakh and into the heart of what it means to survive, believe, and interpret.

Four classical Jewish sources, spanning nearly two thousand years, foretell a cataclysmic war involving Persia (Iran) at the End of Days. These are not vague allusions. They are specific, detailed, and converging on the very geopolitical reality unfolding before our eyes. 1. Pesikta Rabbati, Piska 36 “Rabbi Yitzchak said: The year in which the King Mashiach is revealed, all the kings of the nations will provoke one another. The King of Persia will provoke the King of Arabia…and the entire world will be thrown into panic and confusion.” 2. Talmud Bavli, Yoma 10a The Gemara records a dispute regarding a prophesied war between Persia and Rome at the End of Days. One opinion holds that Persia will fall to Rome; the other holds that Rome will fall to Persia. The passage establishes that a decisive confrontation between these two civilizations must precede the arrival of Mashiach. 3. Tosafot, Avodah Zarah 2b The succinct 7 line Tosafot o details how Edom will squash Persia. Their downfall clears the stage for Redemption as this final event precedes Mashiach's imminent arrival 4. Kli Paz — Rav Shmuel Laniado (1603–1657), Commentary on Isaiah 34:6 Writing over four hundred years ago, this great Mekubal of Aleppo identified “Bozrah” in Isaiah's prophecy as the Hormuz. He declared that a “great slaughter” (Iran) would take place there at the End of Days, and sealed his words with a blessing: “Happy is the one who understands this sign before the Redemption.” On this show, Tamar speaks with Reb Doniel Stochel, author of the upcoming book: 'THE FINAL REDEMPTION' as he takes us through prophetic sources of what we might expect, especially concerning Iran, and the Final Redemption.

America is building its forces in the Mideast to attack Iran. Iran is threatening to Attack Israel, if America attacks Iran. Israel is ready for defensive and offensive warfare as Israelis are holding their breath in anticipation for the red alert sirens to warn us to run to our safe-rooms. The question is, when will Trump attack, and how will the Mullahs strike the West & Israel? Will war bring an end to the mullahs and a more peaceful government to emerge from the Iranian people? Tamar speaks with Jonathan Pollard and get's his take on: * The Iranian threat * Plans for Gaza * Trump's Board Of Peace * Arab political parties 'uniting' in the next elections * What G-d's plan is for the world - and why we need to hold on tight!

John Casmon interviews Yonah Weiss, a cost segregation expert known as the “Cost Seg King,” about how cost segregation works as an advanced form of depreciation and why it can be a powerful cash-flow tool for real estate investors. They break down who benefits most, plus other scenarios like the short-term rental “loophole” and income-based exceptions that can allow depreciation to offset active income. Yonah also explains depreciation recapture in plain English and shares common strategies investors use to defer or reduce tax impact at sale, including 1031 exchanges and Opportunity Zones. Finally, they shift into marketing—why Yonah built his brand on LinkedIn through consistency and real engagement, and why in-person networking is still hard to beat.
