The "Salt & Pfeffer" Edition

Noah Efron and  Times of Israel Ops & Blogs impresario Miriam Herschlag 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   —Rock of Our Salvation?— Why do so many people think that giving the head of a homophobic party control over school enrichment programs might be the worst thing Benjamin Netanyahu has ever done? —The Jewish War— Israel's new government to American Jews: F*ck you? —That Kid Who Yelled That Thing at That Protester— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: That kid who yelled that thing at that protester, and whether he ought to spend a week in jail for it. All that and the outpouring of love in Israel for Morocco's great World Cup team, good and bad neighborhoods, the Palestinian head of one of the country's most important environmental organizations, and how cassette tapes changed Israeli music forever. All that and music by Jenny Penkin!
