Yishai is at San Francisco International Airport waiting for a flight. While waiting, he discusses the debate between renowned author, lecturer, and attorney Professor Alan Dershowitz and chair of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee Simcha Rothman on the wisdom of judicial reform in Israel. Then, Rabbi Shimshon Nadel, Rabbi of Kehilat Zichron Yosef and Rosh Kollel of the Sinai Kollel, joins the show to talk about the controversy behind making the menorah the national symbol of Israel. Finally, Ben Bresky gives a special report on biking in the unseen Holy Land with Kosher Cycle Tours.

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.

You can listen to Yishai’s podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!
