The Promised Podcast

This is the one podcast I listen to in full week in and week out. There is no better window than this into the goings on in Israel for those of us in the diaspora, and Noah, Allison, and the gang feel like family at this point. Thank you all for the effort you put into this every week, and here’s to many many more

This episode put so much into clear perspective for me as I struggle with so many opposing thoughts. I wish everyone could hear this. Inspiring, heartfelt, poignant witty…without being sappy. the best of what I cherish about Israel despite all. Thank you! As many of us in the US are struggling w deep loss, anger and fear about the election results I struggle w the gap between many Israeli and US Jews, particularly given the very complicated role the war had to play in the results. I would welcome deeper exploration of that divide, as I know you would handle it expertly.

There’s so many things I love about this podcast, let me name a few: - Noah’s pace and tone when he opens the show, which more than once, has touched me so profoundly and brought me to tears. Noah conveys his stories with a unique raw power. - I love the divergence of opinions thanks to his guests from a wide spectrum of opinions. Healthy and respectful debates, such a great example of the Jewish ethos! - love love love the music vignettes across the show. Thank you for making me discover Slichot by yehudit ravitz. I live in America now, where every shmock under the sun has a podcast and suddenly is an expert in Israel and the Middle East. They’re not. This podcast brings an authentic POV on what is going on Israel and its analysis is more than ever necessary. Toda raba 💙🤍🙏

This is our go-to source for all things Israel. We so appreciate the thoughtful, well informed commentary of the brilliant panelists. Noah’s intro with its historical background always provides nuance and depth. We also enjoy the humor and sometimes sarcastic interchanges. We love the way the podcast ends with anecdotes and vignettes in the “ What a country” segment and always wait with bated breath for Noah’s special day of the year announcement. It’s as though we’ve invited fascinating and very humane guests to our dinner parties each week. Wishing you all and your families safety and uplifting news to talk about for future podcasts. We will be there to listen through tough times and good times( may they come soon).
