Yet it can be difficult to understand the scope of the problem from afar, given the anti-Israel bias and false reporting demonstrated by many media outlets, especially following October 7. To get to the bottom of this controversial issue — and to filter signal from noise — Dan sat down with Ark Media contributor Nadav Eyal and Rabbi David Stav. Rabbi Stav is the co-founder and chairman of the Tzohar rabbinic organization and serves as Chief Rabbi of the city of Shoham in central Israel.CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerBRITTANY COHEN - Production ManagerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS AND PATRICIO SPADAVECCHIA - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Associate ProducerGABE SILVERSTEIN - Community ManagementYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

The future of Israel and Jewish Peoplehood” at the Tenafly JCC. They discussed the different roots of antisemitism in the West, the resilience and defiance expressed in living a Jewish life, and the changing attitudes towards Israel among American Jews. The conversation was so meaty that we wanted to share a sneak peek with our wider Call me Back audience.

The story of that period is one of factionalism, religious and political tensions, civil war, and geopolitical drama – and therefore one that will resonate with listeners today.(00:00) Introduction(03:58) the Jewish world of Jesus Christ(07:15) Jewish factionalism in 1 A.D.
