My guest today is Dr. Avital Hazony Levi, a postdoctoral fellow at Tel Aviv University who specialises in philosophy and the study of the Hebrew Bible. We spoke about why Israel has the highest birth rate in the developed world, motherhood in the Bible, the rejection of biological family in the kibbutz movement, and traditional Jewish matchmaking.
