The "New Day Dawning?" Edition

Linda Gradstein, Allison Kaplan Somer and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon   —Exemption Preemption— A bombshell unanimous Supreme Court decision says that, until the Knesset passes a law that says otherwise, Haredi men of army age need to enlist, and those that don't cannot get government stipends. Are we about to find Yeshiva boys in foxholes? —New Day in Gaza?— A new report is making the rounds in Jerusalem about how to end the war and coax Gazans to accept Israel, which, new report, may or may not be nuts. —AIPAC vs. Bowman— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: AIPAC vs. the Squad's Jamaal Bowman. Decision, AIPAC? Plus, Hebrew Book Week 100 years on, and more music of our times.
