On this week’s episode, Yishai and Malkah Fleisher laugh (it’s Purim, after all) at the state of affairs in Israel and discuss U.S. President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. Then, Yishai spars with a CBS journalist about the “settlements.” Also, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu dishes it out on Fox News. And finally, Ben Bresky on the Gulf War, which ended on Purim.

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.
