September 15, 2026 EP18 - Interviewing AI Kemi Badenoch: Antisemitism, Israel and the British Left
In this experimental episode of Kol He'Chalutz, I explore the views of Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch on antisemitism, British Jews, Israel and the changing political landscape in Britain.
Rather than a conventional interview, I put my questions to an AI-generated version of Badenoch. The responses were constructed using her publicly expressed views, speeches, interviews and biographical information.
We discuss why she has spoken so strongly about antisemitism, the relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, Israel's place in British foreign policy, the legacy of Jeremy Corbyn, antisemitism on both the left and right, and a question particularly relevant to me: how someone who is Jewish and firmly on the political left should respond when parts of the left appear to have abandoned their traditional role as defenders of Jewish people.
Important disclosure: Kemi Badenoch did not participate in this interview. The answers are AI-generated and should not be understood as quotations from her. The AI voice is not her voice and is not intended to impersonate her. I have invited Kemi Badenoch to respond, correct or challenge anything the AI has attributed to her.

June 20, 2026 EP17 - Growing Up in an Urban Kibbutz
For several years, I have wanted to record this conversation, and I am delighted to finally share it.
In this episode of Kol He'chalutz, I speak with Shai Harburger and Shachar Dekel, the first two children born into Kibbutz Mishol. Through two separate conversations, we explore what it was like to grow up in an urban kibbutz, how the community shaped their identities, and how they view that experience now as young adults in their twenties.
Their stories offer a unique perspective on the successes, challenges, and everyday realities of communal living from the point of view of those who were born into it. Whether you are interested in kibbutzim, intentional communities, or the question of how communities shape the next generation, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
