Rosh Hashanah prep with tablets and broken tablets

“The Yishai Fleisher Show” with hosts Yishai and Malkah Fleisher, and guest Ben Bresky and Rabbi Shlomo Katz

On this week’s episode of “The Yishai Fleisher Show,” Yishai and Malkah Fleisher visit the north of Israel and share its blessings. They then prepare the kids for a new year of school, mourn the victims of the latest terror attacks and discuss the evils of the Oslo Accords. Journalist Ben Bresky visits the First Train Station in Jerusalem and shares its history. Finally, Yishai is joined by Rabbi Shlomo Katz for special pre-Rosh Hashanah thoughts, including the importance of bringing your broken tablets before God.

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.
