(The full Dish returns on September 4. In the meantime, we are re-airing a handful of the most downloaded episodes from the early years of the Dishcast.)The Middle East has become one of the most contested topics here at the Dish. So on our summer break, we thought we'd run some classics, popular with Dishheads and ageing well. So here's the great and humane Yossi Klein Halevi from 2022.Yossi is an American-born Israeli journalist, and his latest book is Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor. After our pod with Peter Beinart in July 2021, many of you recommended Yossi to balance out the discussion on Israel. I was grateful for the suggestion and truly enjoyed our January 2022 talk — alternately honest and difficult. How can one admire Israel while also being candid about its flaws? How deeply utopian was Zionism in the first place?Go here for a polished transcript. We also have two clips on YouTube — on the “bizarre, tragic” history of Zionism, and on the intractable nature of the Israeli settlements. This is a public episode.

The Special Celebration of טו באב - the Fifteenth of Av, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom The happiest days of the year, Rabban Shim'on b. Gamliel tells us, were the 15th of Av and Yom haKippurim. On these days, he reports, young women would go into the vineyards and dance and the young men would choose them as wives. The Gemara expresses an understandable confusion about the special nature of the 15th of Av, to be compared in its festivity to Yom haKippurim; the Gemara suggests six different things that happened on the 15th of Av during different epochs - but that leaves us all the more confused. What do these six events, none of which is outstanding in its celebration or rejoicing, have in common? We explore these events with an eye to finding the common message and its place in our national ethos. This shiur was lovingly given in honor of our son, Yossi on the occasion of his marriage to Chaya, on the fifteenth of Av this year, at the Gush Etzion winery. (Could it be any sweeter?)

In the age of AI-driven attacks, your identity infrastructure is likely your weakest link. Yossi Barishev, CEO of Way Security and former incident responder for nation-state threats, joins the Risk Management Show to explain why identity has become the only perimeter left. Discover why traditional security tools are failing and how to prepare your organization for the era of autonomous AI agents. In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of modern cybersecurity, where 99.9% of attacks still exploit basic hygiene failures rather than exotic zero-day vulnerabilities. Yosi shares his experience from the front lines of military intelligence and elite incident response firms, highlighting the massive coverage gaps in current Identity and Access Management (IAM) implementations. We discuss the transition from legacy systems to SaaS and why the lack of uniformity in IT infrastructure is creating a crisis for global enterprises. You will learn about the essential pillars of identity security: maintaining a clean inventory, enforcing the principle of least privilege, and ensuring your security solutions actually cover your entire environment. Whether you are a CIO, CISO, or risk leader, this conversation provides a roadmap for moving away from manual, expensive processes toward automated, resilient identity foundations that can withstand the speed of AI
Welcome to The Avrum Rosensweig Show. What happens when one of the world's most respected universities fails to protect its Jewish students—and then refuses to investigate its own conduct? My guest is Professor Yossi Sheffi, a globally respected authority on supply-chain management, transportation, resilience and risk. For more than fifty years, MIT has been his intellectual home. He has educated generations of students, founded groundbreaking academic programs and advised governments and leading corporations around the world. But his latest book is unlike anything he has written before. In Unsafe at MIT: A Chronicle of a Campus War on the Jews, Professor Sheffi documents what Jewish and Israeli students and faculty experienced following the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023. He describes students suffering from trauma, demonstrations invading classrooms and research laboratories, areas of the campus becoming inaccessible to Jews, rules going unenforced and an administration that, in his view, repeatedly failed to respond. When MIT did not conduct the comprehensive investigation he believed was necessary, Professor Sheffi created the record himself. Writing the book left him angry, distressed and exhausted. Yet he continued because, as a scientist, he believes that science must be devoted to seeking the truth. As he declares in our conversation: “Science is about looking for the truth—and this is the truth.” In this powerful interview, we discuss institutional failure, antisemitism disguised as activism, the experiences of Jewish students and the personal cost of confronting an institution Professor Sheffi has served for more than half a century. What does a professor owe his university when loyalty to that institution conflicts with loyalty to the truth? This is an urgent, unsettling and profoundly important conversation with Professor Yossi Sheffi. 05:00 — Writing Unsafe at MIT Professor Sheffi explains why researching the experiences of traumatized Jewish students made this the most emotionally difficult book he has ever written. 17:00 — “I Owe It to the Students” Sheffi says that once 45 students overcame their fear of retaliation and shared their stories, he never considered abandoning the book—it had to be published. 29:11 — Refusing to Remain Silent Sheffi describes his reputation for speaking candidly at MIT, including challenging senior administrators when he believes their decisions are wrong. 45:37 — The Purpose Behind His Life's Work He explains that his professional mission is to improve transportation and supply chains so ordinary people can maintain a good standard of living—even amid wars, tariffs and climate change. 53:28 — Fighting the Isolation of Israeli Scientists Near the interview's conclusion, Sheffi discusses Kalaniyot, an initiative that brings Israeli researchers to universities abroad, builds lasting scientific partnerships and challenges academic boycotts. ——

Twenty years after Israel uprooted Jewish communities from Gaza and Northern Samaria, history is taking a dramatic turn.In a landmark agreement signed in the presence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government and the Samaria Regional Council have launched an 8.5 billion shekel plan to build 12,000 new housing units, along with commercial, industrial, and tourism infrastructure. The broader vision includes 18 new Jewish communities in Northern Samaria—including the rebuilding of the four communities destroyed during the 2005 Disengagement.At our recent Pulse of Israel Conference, we honored Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan with the Brave Leadership of Zion Award. Expelled from his home in Sanur during the Disengagement, Yossi transformed personal tragedy into a lifelong mission of rebuilding the Jewish heartland. Just last week, our Pulse of Israel Mission visited Sanur and Chomesh, witnessing firsthand this historic return.For many Israelis, October 7 confirmed that withdrawing from territory and empowering jihadist enemies does not bring peace—it invites more terror. The testimony of Be'eri survivor Avida Bechar, who lost his wife and son in the massacre, has reinforced for many the belief that the conflict is rooted in the rejection of Jewish sovereignty rather than borders alone.As Israel approaches another election, the future of Judea and Samaria has become one of the defining issues facing the nation. Will Israel continue strengthening Jewish communities in its biblical heartland, or reverse course?Watch this video as I explain why I believe the rebuilding of Northern Samaria is not merely another housing project, but one of the most significant Zionist developments in decades.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
When people first met Miriam Mintz A”H, they noticed how little she was. It did not take long to realize how truly huge she was.Miriam lived with extraordinary confidence and independence. She learned to drive, earned her master's degree, became a special educator, got married, and built real, lasting relationships with the people around her. She devoted her life to helping children who struggled with reading, but what she gave them went far beyond the skills inside a book.She taught them to believe:I can, even when it's hard. Believe in yourself, no matter what. Always smile and keep a positive attitude.In this episode, Morah Tziri speaks with Yossi Goldman, one of Miriam's former students. Yossi has dyslexia, and reading has never come easily to him. But just 1 day before this conversation, after months of hard work, he stood at his Bar Mitzvah and read the entire parsha from the Torah.Miriam was not physically there to see it. But everything she taught him was.We also hear from Miriam's brother, Naftali Fink, about the confidence, emunah, strength, and purpose that shaped her life. And Miriam's young niece Shana shares her own sweet memories of an aunt who taught her, played with her, believed in her, and made her feel deeply loved.This conversation is for every child who struggles with something, every parent trying to see the possibilities inside their child, and every teacher who may never fully know how far the lessons inside their classroom will travel.You can take a break. You can ask for help. You can struggle.And you can still do things you once thought were impossible.This episode was sponsored by Naftali and Kayla Fink and family, l'ilui nishmas Miriam Mintz A”H. May her neshama have an aliyah, and may her beautiful legacy continue through every child who learns to believe in themselves.Mentioned in this episodeUntil Someday, the new InKredible Kids Tisha B'Av family film: https://ikfilm.orgWhee Play by SR, premium playsets designed for years of backyard fun: https://wheesr.comExplore more from InKredible Kids: https://inkrediblekids.orgSupport the show
Hard tissue robotics may be ready for a major leap forward, but only if the industry stops treating surgical robots as single-purpose robotic arms. In this episode, Yossi Bar, CEO and Founder of LEM Surgical, explores the next evolution of surgical robotics and why hard tissue innovation is just getting started. Drawing on nearly two decades in medical devices, he explains why hard tissue robotics has trailed soft tissue robotics and why system architecture matters more than hardware alone. Yossi breaks down the difference between a robotic arm and a true surgical humanoid, highlighting the roles of vision, proprioception, and multi-tool operation. He also shares how AI and humanoid-inspired, general-purpose robotic platforms could expand clinical capabilities and shape the future of surgery. Tune in to hear why the best part of surgical robotics may still be ahead! Resources: Connect with and follow Yossi Bar on LinkedIn. Follow LEM Surgical AG on LinkedIn and explore their website.
Yossi Farro has turned a mitzvah into a global mission. In this episode of Meaningful People, he shares how a childhood spent putting tefillin on strangers in New York grew into a journey that has taken him around the world, connecting with celebrities, billionaires, entrepreneurs, influencers, and everyday Jews. From chance encounters with actors to live streams and meetings with some of the biggest names in business, Yossi explains how persistence, authenticity, and a simple pair of tefillin opened doors he never imagined. Along the way, Yossi discusses the Chabad philosophy behind mivtzoim, why he believes tefillin has the power to inspire lasting Jewish connection, and the remarkable stories that have kept him motivated through thousands of encounters. He also reflects on the Rebbe's tefillin campaign, outreach after October 7, lessons from some of the world's most successful people, and why his mission is only getting started.
