Dash Of Drash

As Israel and the Jewish world commemorates Yom HaZikkaron (Memorial Day) and celebrates Yom Ha'Atzmut (Independence Day), three UK born Israelis reflect on what it means to celebrate Israel in 2017. Charlotte Halle was editor of the English language Haaretz newspaper and is now International director for the paper. She is also my cousin. Rabbi Joel Levy got smicha (private rabbinic ordination) from the great Rabbi David Hartman. He is now one of the Roshei Yeshiva (heads) of the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem. Jeremy Leigh runs the Israel program at Hebrew Union College and is a professor of history. Join us for some honest conversation about the State of Israel - past, present and future.
