Why You Should Care About Israeli Elections, Season 3, Episode 5

In this episode of Adapting David Bryfman speaks with Noam Weissman of OpenDor Media, an experienced Israel educator and podcaster in his own right. They discuss how Jewish educators can use the upcoming Israeli elections as a teaching tool to further engage students with Israel and the complexities of Israeli society. Noam shares his affection for Israeli political ads, which OpenDor Media has translated and captioned for non-Hebrew speakers to access. In this discussion Noam is forthright in his views about Jewish education and that in today’s day and age, it’s not possible "to have a healthy relationship with one’s Jewish identity without including Israel in that.”Interested in learning more about Israel's upcoming elections? Check out Unpacked's translated and captioned political ads here. Unpacked's guide to the 2022 Israeli elections. Unpacked video: Inside Israel's Knesset.Noam's podcast, Unpacking Israeli History.Send us Fan Mail
