The founding of the State of Israel is a majestic and messy story. However you slice it, the way I am feeling right now is netzach yisrael lo yishaker. This mini series is hopefully going to be an important contribution to the story of ‘48.
I am so proud that @JewishAgency is sponsoring this nuanced & thoughtful 3 part series podcast from @JewishUnpacked about the story of Israel's Independence.
Truly loving Israel means understanding its history - even the tough parts.
Am Yisrael Chai.

It’s impossible to understand Zionist history and the philosophy of Zionism without understanding Kishinev. This was a fascinating episode to work on. open.spotify.com/episode/4Ym…
hosting the unpacking Israeli history podcast, a product of Unpacked, has been such a joy. No better way to teach Israeli history than through the stories of the past, which help illuminate the present.
Unpacking Israeli History, Season 3, Ep1, dropping tomorrow morning. We're opening the season with the Hebron massacre of 1929. It's heavy, but it's so, so worth it. Can't wait to share it with the world, and to hear back from the amazing listeners @noamlweissman @JewishUnpacked
Legend. @JudahMischel. So much fun. So much learning.
Is it possible to love someone we radically disagree with?
Really enjoyed this conversation w/ yedidi Dr. @noamlweissman on "Healthy Disagreement" ~🎙️

There are many core values articulated in Jewish liturgy, text and tradition. The educational magic is watching these values collide and then asking our students, what next?
Our member @SaraHimeles co-authored this important piece on teaching students a different way to think about the world — a way that is not colored in red and blue. @eJPhil bit.ly/30Tn112

All about the “nerd corner”
Have you heard about #Israel's secret nuclear weapons in #Dimona? In ep. 3 of #UnpackingIsraeliHistory, @noamlweissman digs deep into how Israel's not-so-secret nuclear program came to be, and asks, does the nuclear program make Israel safer? bit.ly/3DoH9GO
ALT Nerd corner: Israel's nukes are often called the Samson option, after the Biblical Israelite judge. Chained in a Philistine temple, Samson pushed apart the pillars, bringing down the roof- killing himself and thousands of his enemies. And there you have it, a mutually assured destruction UIH ep. 3: Dimona: Israeli's "Secret" Nuclear Option @jewishunpacked
Overheard this at a cafe today and struggling to think of a more offensive order - “I’d like an everything bagel with hummus please.”
Anyone looking for a little reflection before the high holidays or just wants to have a deeper connection to life and God, @JudahMischel’s new book Baderech is a magical key to opening the door to our inner selves.
A story worth covering. @JewishUnpacked hoping the media landscape covers it

6/ Reflecting on the tragedy our SVP @noamlweissman said: "During painful moments like this one I remember the #Jewish concept of yefashfesh b’maasav (examining our own actions). We may not always have control over the tragedies that befall us, but we can control our next steps."
It’s about the word “and.” Exploration AND celebration.
In this timely essay, Noam Weissman of OpenDor Media argues for a form of Israel education that tackles challenging topics in Israel’s history. thelehrhaus.com/commentary/c…
This was an honor to produce with @GilTroy and the @UnpackedMedia team. Let’s give permission for people to embrace Zionism. Let’s reclaim the Z word.

We may have the impulse to follow the example of Beit Shammai and be “right,” but that is not our heritage as Jewish educators. So, how can we follow in the footsteps of Beit Hillel and bring a nuanced approach into our classrooms? jewishjournal.com/commentary…
