This new episode of the @uihpodcast is a vital and timely reminder of Israel's long history self-criticism. That tradition is a crucial part of Israel's unique character and success. Which is why it's so dangerous that this self-criticism has become vilified over the last decade -- in large part due to the vilification of Israel by the outside world.

What is the difference between antisemitism and bigotry? Is it really a singular hatred? Were American Jews naive to believe that antisemitism couldn't emerge in the US or is America really unique in Jewish history? Join a lively discussion with Noam, Haviv and @mijalbitton.>
This was a fun conversation.
The inimitable Noam Weissman tried to get me riled up by citing a bunch of anti-Zionist arguments. He succeeded.
We talked about what’s wrong with the new Wikipedia article on Zionism, with academic anti-Zionism and even with the Zionist telling of Zionism’s story.
(Spoiler: It’s the same thing.)
We laughed, we cried, I cursed a few times (really).
Thanks for having me on, Noam. It was therapeutic.

Unpacking Israeli History, Season 6, Ep1 launched this morning. I'm so proud of our work sharing the complicated/amazing story of Israel. As we keep saying, this season isn't about 10/7, but it's also fully about 10/7. @JewishUnpacked @noamlweissman open.spotify.com/episode/6RJ…
NEW POD ALERT!! Couldn't be more excited about Wondering Jews with @mijalbitton and @noamlweissman, two of the most out-of-the-box, dynamic Jewish thinkers today. Check it out wherever you listen to pods - brought to you by @JewishUnpacked

People are dunking on this, and I get it, but I think A. having more data is better than less, even if it's incomplete B. Target should release their internal data, so we get more realistic info C. worth discussing: WHY there are so many incidents, and yet, so few police reports?
1. Last week, @Target announced it was closing 9 stores due to theft, generating an avalanche of credulous coverage from nearly every major media outlet
One thing that was missing from all these stories: DATA
So Popular Information tracked it down
🧵
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This thread is half true.
Reliable shoplifting data is extremely hard to come by, and Target only publishes “net shrink”.

However, using police data to refute Target’s claim is equally unreliable, as data shows most retailers do not bother reporting cases to the police.

When I was in college in Baltimore, I used to go to this coffee shop called @redemmas. I didn't know anything about Emma Goldman, but the coffee was awesome, and I liked perusing the books. Next time I'm in Baltimore, I'll be back at Red Emma's, but a lot more knowledgable 📕☕️📕
How much do you know about this Jewish anarchist who made waves in early 20th-century America by challenging the status quo? #JewishHistoryNerds #JAHM

Happy Yom Ha'aztmaut! This is the final episode of the Israel@75 mini-series, and Season 4 of Unpacking Israeli History. Israel is complicated and messy and amazing, and I think/hope this season really reflected that 🔥🇮🇱🔥 @JewishUnpacked @noamlweissman
This is the story of Israel’s declaration of independence – and of its ongoing evolution as a modern state #UnpackingIsraeliHistory

It's finally out! @FeigelsonJosh and I have spent months working on this podcast, called Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices For Every Day. My instinct is that no matter who you are, or how/if you practice religion, this show can impact your life open.spotify.com/show/2Rll9x…
Thank you @JewishUnpacked @noamlweissman and of course @FeigelsonJosh for creating this special show together
Today, I spent an hour editing 3 scripts for a (stay tuned!) pod about Jewish mindfulness. I also edited a pod audio about Israeli history. Then, I spent 45 minutes scheduling recording sessions for a Jewish history pod. tl;dr - I have the best job in the world @JewishUnpacked
I grew up thinking Israel was perfect, so this was a hard episode. But understanding history helps us make better decisions today. As an Israeli listener said, "the more ignorant one is, the more arrogant he is, & arrogant soldiers can be a recipe for disaster." @JewishUnpacked
This week's episode of #UnpackingIsraeliHistory is dedicated to the 49 Israeli citizens murdered at Kfar Qassem. May their memories be a blessing.

Shabbetai Tzvi and his Sabbatean movement might be one of the oddest things that's happened in Jewish people, and that's saying something. Check out this episode of Jewish History Unpacked and prepare to have your mind blown @JewishUnpacked @hmabramson
