The wake-up call

“The Yishai Fleisher Show” with host Yishai Fleisher, and guests Ben Bresky and Josh Waller

Yishai Fleisher sits in a jeep on IDF reserve duty and yearns for a Jewish national wake-up call. Ben Bresky discusses the alternative meanings of the Fast of the Tenth of Tevet. And finally, Josh Waller calls on the nations to take part in the fight for Judea.

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.
