The The Times of Israel of Israel's founding editor David Horovitz joins our Rabbi Ammi Hirsch to help us understand Israel’s internal and external struggles — the unifying fabric of Israeli society and the major debates pulling at the seams. apple.co/4jFfPbI

For the first time since we Stephen Wise started the “In These Times” podcast, we have a returning guest — The Times of Israel’s David Horovitz. He’s the first I’ve asked back. There’s no one better to unpack #Israel to the diaspora than David: apple.co/4jFfPbI

The ways mainstream media has covered #Israel post-Oct 7 has certainly shifted. I discussed this w/ The Times of Israel’s David Horovitz who claims there is a “very well-orchestrated effort” to delegitimize the Jewish state. Watch his take below | Full episode: apple.co/4jFfPbI

Amazing to spend Shabbat in Israel with my good friend Itzhik Simon. We served together in the same tank from 1977–1980... Our hearts are with all the reservists who are spending yet another Shabbat away from their families. I pray for their safe return — and an end to this war.

.Tessa Veksler tells our Rabbi Ammi Hirsch how, as student body president of UC Santa Barbara and a proud Zionist, she faced a barrage of hate and narrowly survived an attempt to oust her from office… apple.co/4dbjufi

.Tessa Veksler ran for UC Santa Barbara student president and did her best to avoid having her campaign become a referendum on #Israel. And she won. But after Oct. 8, the hate started pouring in. Here’s part of her story — and her thoughts on why she was targeted:

NY’s former governor and the front runner in NYC’s mayoral race, Andrew Cuomo, speaks with our Rabbi Ammi Hirsch about the state of the city, his decades-long support of Israel and the Jewish community, and surging antisemitism in America. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/and…

What a pleasure to join Rabbi Ammi Hirsch on Stephen Wise’s podcast, “In These Times.” We discussed a wide range of issues, including support for Israel and the need to combat the violent surge of antisemitism in America and around the world. Listen here:

I deeply mourn the murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. It is another wake-up call for Americans and American Jews. This is what so many mean when they cry "Free Free Palestine," and "globalize the intifada." Demonization of Israel leads to murder of Israelis and Jews.

I welcome hearing from all the #NYC mayoral hopefuls. These are opportunities to dwell on issues important to the #Jewish community. #Antisemitism & #anti-#Israel hostility top that list. See what Andrew Cuomo told me 👇 or listen to our full convo: apple.co/4mJTAnt

Former NY governor and #NYC mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo & I discussed where the #Jewish community stands in support of the Democratic Party. Is it the same party? Watch his response👇 or listen to our full conversation: apple.co/4mJTAnt

We must understand a basic truth: The nature of #Judaism is a critique of common norms. And the ultimate question is: What does the repeated threat to destroy the place where half of the Jews of the world live say about your views on Judaism & the Jewish people?

.Zohran Kwame Mamdani knows — or should know — the difference. “Free, Free Palestine” means destruction of Israel. “Globalize the Intifada” is about murdering Israeli diplomats worldwide, and attacking Jews and Jewish institutions. The intifada was a years-long orgy of murder on the

As part of our NYC Mayoral Forum, Democratic candidates Brad Lander and Scott Stringer join our Rabbi Ammi Hirsch to discuss how their Jewish values inform their visions for the future of New York. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-…

.Brad Lander didn’t seem particularly surprised by progressive group responses in the wake of October 7th. “...there was always gonna be that kind of leftist anti-#Israel thing…” he tells me. Watch his reaction here 👇

I don’t remember a time when American Jews have been so fearful, particularly here in #NYC. From intellectual and job-related biases and so on. I asked mayoral hopeful Brad Lander what he would do as caretaker of our city to combat this👇

For the #Jewish people, the lesson of the Holocaust — fortified by the bitter failure of October 7 — is that there is no moral requirement to wait until the plans to exterminate #Israel are completed (or near completion). A justified war of no choice. #Iran
