Episode Notes Episode 32: “Women Leading the Way on FoRB” Season – A Conversation with Michal Cotler Wunsh” The fourth episode of this podcast season features a conversation with Michal Cotler-Wunsh, Israel’s Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism. She has had an impressive career as a member of the Israeli Knesset, a researcher, policy advisor, advocate and more. Her appointment as Special Envoy came at an unbelievably critical moment – when the brutal attacks of October 7 sparked an unprecedented surge of global antisemitism. This stark reality has made Michal’s powerful, eloquent, brave voice on this topic more important than ever. In this episode, she talks about the shocking antisemitism witnessed in the aftermath of October 7; what companies, universities and governments can do to better combat rising antisemitism; how the legacy of her father Professor Irwin Cotler motivates and inspires here; and what gives her hope, even in these dark times. Note: The conversation took place in late 2024, so there are developments in the Middle East and elsewhere that have happened in the intervening months but are not covered in this episode. Bio: Michal Cotler-Wunsh Michal Cotler-Wunsh on X  Producers: Brittany Smith, Chelsea Hedquist & Celie Hudson  Audio editors: Brittany Smith & Celie Hudon Music:      • Always Hopeful – Silent Partner (No C...
