In this very special, environmentally-sound, recycled edition of the Promised Podcast, we rebroadcast discussions about:

• Whether the fact that the rabbis did not protest the passage of a very liberal abortion law means that we are mistaken about rabbinic reach and overreach
• Whether we need more professorial types in politics, or whether the eggheads shouldn't stay in their seminar rooms where they belong
• Why Israeli parents are so unworried about the dangers facing their kids at play and out and about in the world.

Participating in today's show are Allison, Don, Noah, Times of Israel Ops & Blogs Editor Miriam Herschlag, and Shaharit Think Tank Grand Puba Eilon Schwartz.
