Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

--And It’s One, Two, Three, What Are We Fightin’ For? (with apologies to both Country Joe and the Fish)--

Huge, angry demonstrations demand that Netanyahu do something about Israel’s economic crisis. But what?

--Judging Judges: A Judgmental Judgment--

What’s wrong with judging judges?

--And a River Runs Through It--

A kibbutz bars folks from a nearby town from picnicking on the banks of a river that winds through its grounds. Is that o.k.?

--Is There Any Way to Get Away With a Little Getaway?--

For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Summer is here, and we all deserve a vacation. Hotels at the Dead Sea are sold out, and little getaway love-nest cabins up north are getting booked up fast. But is a corona vacation a vacation at all? We share our plans for the summer (concluding that, getaway or no getaway, there’s no way to get away).

All that and Avoda Zmanit!
