Boundless Insights - with Aviva Klompas

The Israel–Diaspora Divide - with Yossi Klein Halevi


Listen Later

Yossi Klein Halevi joins Dr. Rachel Fish for an honest and moving conversation about the State of Israel, Zionism, and the widening rift with the American Jewish community. From the trauma of October 7 to the breakdown of Israel’s political consensus, Yossi reflects on how Israelis are navigating war, grief, and internal division. 

Together, they explore why American and Israeli Jews understand power, victimhood, and identity so differently, and what’s at stake if they continue to talk past one another. Along the way, Halevi shares what still gives him hope, and how a 12-year-old’s question in synagogue revealed something profound about how Jews understand themselves across the globe.
