Today’s Episode:

This is part two of Dan’s conversation with For Heaven’s Sake hosts Yossi Klein Halevi and Rabbi Donniel Hartman. Early exit polls indicate that almost a third of New York’s Jewish voters may have voted for Zohran Mamdani, who had previously said that Antizionism is central to his worldview, for mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population outside Israel. Are American Jews starting to give up on Israel? Dan, Yossi, and Donniel debate.

Make sure to also catch part one of this conversation, where the three discuss the narratives that split Israeli society.
