Anglos Talk Israeli Politics Joshua Pacht

Dani Dayan, number 11 on New Hope's list, has worn many hats. A former hi-tech CEO, he is also the former head of the Yesha Council and a former Consul General for Israel in NYC. Summed up in one sentence, you could say that Dayan is a man that doesn't fit the stereotype and manages to make strong connections in unlikely places.

Tune in to the full episode to find out how Dani Dayan thinks we can strengthen relations with the Diaspora community, what should be done about online censorship, and the role of government in such issues in the 21st century, as well as his thoughts on the court conversion controversy.

If you were to list the names of community leaders in the Modern Israeli Anglo Community, certainly Rabbi Dov Lipman would be one of the names on that list. A former member of Knesset from the Yesh Atid party, Rabbi Lipman was the first American-born Jew to be elected to the Knesset in close to 30 years. Following his exit from politics, Rabbi Lipman has been working in many causes from strengthening Haredi secular education, connecting the diaspora with Israel and, helping Anglos better connect with Israeli politics.

Listen to the full episode to find out what Dov Lipman thinks is the best way to strengthen secular education in the Haredi community. What he believes the government can do to better fight the BDS movement and how we can improve the culture of bureaucracy in Israel.

In what seems like forever ago somewhere pre-corona 2019, The Zehut party was making a splash. Powered by a robust Social Media presence and a best selling book, the party expected to be the surprise of the election. In this episode, I sit down with Moshe Feiglin to discuss the party's past, the present problems of the Anglo community, and the future of the divide between the diaspora and Israel.

Anglos have had a major influence in our country yet in many ways it can seem that our community is invisible. In this show, I will interview Israeli politicians and community leaders to find out what matters to the Anglo community most and bring it to the forefront with my guests.
