Discover the inspiring resilience of Israel’s heartland on this week’s episode of “Judeacation” with JNS Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten, featuring multidisciplinary artist and security expert Mark Provisor. Broadcasting from Jerusalem at the JNS Media Hub, Josh sits down with Mark for a discussion about Israel’s security challenges, the failures exposed by Oct. 7 and the enduring spirit of Judea and Samaria.
Mark Provisor, known for his artwork blending abstract expressionism with real-world experience on Israel’s frontlines, offers a candid analysis of systemic security failures spanning over a decade. He shares firsthand stories from the southern border, Judea and Samaria, and the north, where his efforts helped equip and protect vulnerable communities. Mark also dives into the unique diversity and creativity flourishing in Judea and Samaria, far from the tired media stereotypes.
In addition, he opens up about his journey back to art, using his experiences of trauma and resilience to fuel powerful works exhibited in Israel and New York. The conversation covers the challenges and beauty of life beyond the Green Line, the vital importance of Jewish unity in securing Israel’s future and why visitors should experience Judea and Samaria firsthand.
