Thrust Into a Combat Zone: Joel’s Recurring Dream

In this episode, Joel shares a recurring dream tied to his combat service in the IDF. In the dream, he’s suddenly sent back into a war zone—often Lebanon—unprepared, panicked, and unsure of what lies ahead. Using the dream as a starting point, Joel reflects on fear, memory, and how experiences from long ago can resurface when you least expect them. It’s his most personal episode to date, shared in the belief that what feels most individual often turns out to be universal.---------------Support Inside Israel: ContributeBook Joel during his spring/fall 2026 lecture and comedy tour: www.joelchasnoff.comTo learn more about Inside Israel, and to submit a question for Joel to answer on-air, visit www.joelchasnoff.com/podcast Sign up for Joel’s newsletter, Hebrew Is Magic: www.joelchasnoff.comJoel’s tour schedule: www.joelchasnoff.com/showsJoel on Instagram: @joelchasnoff Israel 201, co-authored by Joel and Benji Lovitt and Winner of the 2023 National Jewish Book Award: www.joelchasnoff.com/books Hosted on Acast.
