Yishai and Malkah Fleisher are on Route 60 thinking about the Huwara murder and subsequent violence. In addition, Ben Bresky speaks about Purim miracles throughout history. Advocate Tehila Gimpel gives a deep dive into judicial reform in Israel, and Rabbi Kenny Cohen discusses a system for Jewish historical dating.

“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!
