The “Still Wandering the Desert” Edition

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and Wunderkind critic Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. --No Go Tiations-- Why, O Why, can’t Israel form a friggin’ government? --Six Physicists, Two Computer Scientists, an Engineer, an Economist and a Psychologist-- Coronavirus doesn’t distinguish by sex, religion or profession. But should that be true, too, of the committee tasked with devising our “exit strategy”? --Zionormativity (and the Queering of Yiddish)-- Do Israel and Zionism need to be “queered,” now more than ever? --After We’re Told That We Can Go Out, Do We Just Abide and Go Out?-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we talk about whether, when the government says it’s o.k. to go out to restaurants and send our kids to school, and take in a movie at the multiplex, we’re going to feel comfortable doing it. All this and the smoky and ethereal moodiness of Bela Tar!
