Israel is living through one of the most consequential chapters in its history.  The biggest loss of life in recent times, wars that are reshaping the region and the world, a society wrestling with division and grief. As we approach these pivotal Israeli elections, we step back from the headlines to ask a bigger question: where does this moment sit within the Jewish story.  What does this chapter of Israel's story mean for the next one? Join philosopher and historian Dr. Micah Goodman with Politica podcast hosts Sharon Offenberger (Australia) and Yuval Regev (Israel) for a conversation on today's Israel, Jewish history, and what comes next.
