“Concern, But Not Worry”: Advocating for Israel in 2022 with Rabbi Uri Pilichowski (114)

May 30, 2022 11:37 am

On Yom Yerushalayim, we thank G-d for the miraculous gift of a united Jerusalem – and, lest we forget, the miracle of winning the Six Day War which, many had originally feared, would destroy the State of Israel and precipitate a second Holocaust. While some celebrate, many others suggest that Israel doesn’t belong to us at all. In fact, they say, the entire State of Israel is an illegitimate enterprise, born in sin and destined to be transformed into a binational state without a Jewish character. It seems to many that those voices are growing louder and louder.

Last month, the Harvard Crimson published an editorial entitled In Support of Boycott, Divest, Sanctions and a Free Palestine (www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/4/…ox=1651260876-1). Are voices like the Crimson’s getting louder? Is Israel losing the battle for world public opinion? Should Yom Yerushalayim be a day of celebration, or a day of dread?

Rabbi Uri Pilichowski does not accept this doomsday narrative. He argues that Israel is better off than it has ever been before, including in the area of public relations. Listen to this fascinating and hopeful interview to find out why.

"A government that arose through blind hatred, out of evil argument not for the sake of heaven... a cursed government..."

A thread about religious Knesset members and the language they sometimes use against their opponents.

So my @Delta flight to New York was canceled, after an initial leg from Tel Aviv to Boston. I was told by an agent this morning that I would be notified about any changes by email. Nope. I found out by showing up. Not cool, Delta. (Yes cool @7News who interviewed me just now.)

All podcasters who use @SoundCloud: maybe this latest problem (the server 100% down) means that it's time to take the plunge and switch to an actual podcasting host like @libsyn. That's my plan...

Has Religious Zionism lost its way as Israel's moral voice? Listen to this fascinating interview with @YKleinHalevi to hear his take... and what can be done to help fix the problems that we face.

Am Yisrael Chai!
