Shoshanna and Anne speak with the very talented Shani Weinman Kay about her experience as a religious woman in the IDF, especially during this time of war, and how her experiences have strengthened her commitment to the army, her family, and her personal religious practice.

In one of our more personal (and we think powerful) episodes, Shoshanna and Anne speak frankly about their respective decisions to tour some of the destroyed communities of the Gaza Envelope — and to avoid doing so.

Eve Barlow, Fleur Hassan Nahoum and Adiel Cohen are warriors on the front lines of the media war against Israel – joined of course by our own Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll. In this special double-length episode, Anne and Shoshanna talk to these pros about how they do what they do, how YOU can do it too, and why being cancelled is actually a great thing.

Were the pre-October 7th warnings dismissed because they originated with women? Are the men of the old-boy network at a disadvantage because they have been trained to think in certain ways? Shoshanna and Anne recognize the women who were involved in so many various aspects of October 7th and the war since, with an eye to how women can (and we’ll say should) contribute in new crucial ways.

Since October 7, Israel has tragically, devastatingly seen more people burying loved ones and sitting shiva than the country could ever have been prepared for. Enter the newly founded organization Chesed Shel Emet, and Pnina Pfeuffer, who speaks with Shoshanna and Anne about how four Haredi women have stepped up (with others) to make this painful process smoother, no matter the Jewish affiliation of the bereft. May the shift in priorities across communities last.

Antisemitism is the oldest hatred in the book, yet, even in the wake of the October 7th massacre, it’s new for each generation, and each person experiences it fresh. Shoshanna and Anne call attention to what’s been going on, and consider how we as a people stick together to combat the hatred against us. Plus, a postscript on the American Jewish community’s mass march on Washington, a profound showcase of love and solidarity for the Jewish world.
