Why does the charaidi community in Israel suffer from a greater infection rate of COVID-19? In this episode, we hear about the ultra-orthodox's unique perspective on the pandemic. We're joined by Mordechai Newmark, a charaidi man, who discusses with us issues of discrimination, trust in the government (or lack thereof) and how Rabbinic leadership can make a community strictly social distance, or try for herd immunity.

Is the healthcare system in Israel prejudiced against the LGBTQ community? In this episode, we're taking a deeper look into an issue that touches many members of the LGBTQ community - medical discrimination. We're joined by Rinat Tzuk-Bazak, activist, who helps us get a better understanding of Israeli healthcare issues (from patient mishandling to a lacking infrastructure)  that prevent community members' needs from being met.
