Close Read
by Ben Greenberg
Close Read reads political questions through two disciplines: a rabbi's training in interpreting contested texts and arguing in good faith, and a technologist's eye for incentives and second-order effects, from an American and Israeli vantage. Each show takes one question and reads the primary sources closely, quoting them in their own words with every source linked. The first show, Israel Elections 2026, goes through what every party running in Israel's October 27, 2026 Knesset election has published, one party per episode. By Ben Greenberg.
