How Mikey Greenblatt Turns Hate Into "Jewish Fan Mail"
30/09/2026 | 42 mins.Antisemitism on social media seems worse than ever. Scrolling through Instagram, X, or TikTok is enough to make any Jewish person hyperventilate. But are things as bad in real life as they are on the internet? And if not, how can we learn to take the trolling with a grain of (kosher) salt? There's no better guide than Mikey Greenblatt, who turns nasty comments on his posts into "Jewish Fan Mail." In a heart-to-heart with Noam, Mikey explains how his connection to audience members means so much more to him than vitriol from anonymous bots and trolls.

Unpacking Israeli HistoryWhat Does It Mean To Be "Happy?"
23/09/2026 | 34 mins.In an era where we're more stressed, more depressed, and more isolated than we've ever been, what will it take to feel that elusive thing called "happiness?" How will we know when we've found it? This week, Mijal and Noam are doing a deep dive into whether the "pursuit" of happiness is problematic, why pain can sometimes bring us closer to joy, and just what exactly is written on Noam's t-shirt.

Unpacking Israeli HistoryCan Israelis And Palestinians Ever Live In Peace? With Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib
02/09/2026 | 1h 3 mins.Will the war ever truly come to an end? Can two populations with so much pain find common ground? Or is the hurt too deep, too vast to overcome? There are no questions more urgent than these, and there is no better guest to wonder with than Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a Palestinian activist and author of Hamas And Its Two Million Hostages. With Noam, Ahmed shares his own own tragic story of loss, why he holds Hamas responsible for the plight of the Palestinian people, and what Israel--and the world at large--can do to truly bring about peace.
Ahmed's book is available for purchase here: https://jewishquarterly.com/essay/2026/07/hamas-and-its-two-million-hostages
