How can we celebrate when our people are in captivity? Yet, Passover isn't cancelled this year, even if you feel it should be, so how do we make sense of it? In what is now an annual pre-Passover episode to help boost our seder experience, Anne and Shoshanna talk to Dr. Tammy Jacobowitz about how to approach the holiday this very difficult year.

If the Hostages Aren't Home by Pesach, What's a Holiday of Freedom? (Season 7 Episode 13)

Six months into Israel's war with Hamas, and nearly all sectors of Israeli society are feeling it, but extended army service and a sadly rising death toll have turned Israeli attention to the Haredim who (for the most part) do not serve in the IDF. Much of Israel is irate, but with the yeshiva exemptions newly canceled, Haredim are irate too. Anne and Shoshanna discuss the change in the air. Our annual fundraiser is this week!

No, Serving in the IDF Is NOT Worse Than Being Killed by Hamas (Season 7 Episode 12)

Adina Sash has set the Orthodox world buzzing about the strike she hopes will help agunot. Shoshanna and Anne talk to Adina about her campaign and what has come of it (so far). Music: "Misery" by The Whips

Why Flatbush Girl Started a S*x Strike: An Interview with Adina Sash (Season 7 Episode 11)

Yes, representation in Israeli politics really matters. Shoshanna and Anne delve into why women running for municipal office is so important (even during the war). For all that elected officials should represent the concerns of the entire population, it is too easy to miss issues that don't touch one directly. Thus, the need for women to focus on concerns that a male-only government is unlikely to even notice. Music: "Misery" by The Whips

Democracy at Work - For Men (Season 7 Episode 10)

Does "Together, we will win" inspire you or depress you? Shoshanna and Anne "take the temperature" of how people are reacting differently to the same general experience of war, from how it is a different experience for Israelis as compared to those around the globe, and how it is different for every Israeli. As promised in the episode, the insane story - here in the show notes: https://www.timesofisrael.com/man-allegedly-impersonated-soldier-entered-gaza-stole-weapons-posed-with-netanyahu/ Music: "Misery" by The Whips
