Be the Maccabee

“The Yishai Fleisher Show” with hosts Yishai and Malkah Fleisher and guests Ben Bresky and Walter Bingham

On this week’s episode of “The Yishai Fleisher Show,” Yishai and Malkah Fleisher struggle between high and low spirits, between terror and Jewish victory—and the only solution is to Be the Maccabee! Then, Ben Bresky speaks with 99-year-old reporter Walter Bingham, who went back to Germany to relive the Kindertransport. Finally, Yishai talks with the young Jews of the Aardvark gap year program.

Produced by Yishai Fleisher and the Land of Israel network and part of JNS’s library, “The Yishai Fleisher Show” is a popular English-language podcast exploring Israeli life, politics and Jewish thought.

Drawing on his experience as a journalist, legal and biblical scholar, Israel Defense Forces soldier and spokesman for the Jewish Community of Hebron, Fleisher sheds light on everything from global and Middle East news to weekly Bible/Torah study, health, family, and, of course, the amazing rebirth of Israel.

Yishai Fleisher is the international spokesman for the Jewish community of Hebron and an advisor to Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
