Israel war update

“The Yishai Fleisher Show” with hosts Yishai and Malkah Fleisher, with guest Morderchai Kedar

On this week’s episode of “The Yishai Fleisher Show,” Mordechai Kedar, an expert on Islam and Arab affairs, joins Yishai to analyze the attack on Israel, Iran’s support for Hamas and the next steps in the conflict, including the big question of whether Hezbollah will join the war. Then, Malkah Fleisher talks about “seeing” the effort by the ultra-Orthodox and Diaspora Jewry to help Israel in this time of need.

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, IDF soldier and spokesman for the Jewish Community of Hebron, Yishai 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.
