    #147 Thoughts on Israel / Who’s Representing Jews? / Biblical Exiles /The Need for Leadership

    Solo episode recorded at 4 AM. I talk about - The Jewish concept of exile / the exiles that Jews been in and continue to live through, and what is different about this one (Edom). - The lack of vocal leaders that embody and spread traditional orthodox Jewish philosophy and perspective (like Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the Lubavetcher Rebbe) - Israel’s internal confusion and identity crisis. - Who is speaking for Jews around the world, and should they be the voices representing them? - America’s become a passive country, and it needs more people to step up as leaders.
