The Battle for Israel's Soul https://www.tabletmag.com/podcasts/battle-for-israels-soul en 2026 Tablet Magazine Early 2023 was a good time in Israel. The attack of October 7 was months in the future, and Israelis were enjoying a period of peace and prosperity. The economy was booming. The country came out fourth in the ranking of the world's happiest nations. You'd expect Israelis to sit back and celebrate their good fortune. Instead, they took to the streets en masse, sending the country into a tailspin that now, three years later, only grows stronger.

It was about Israel's soul. What did each side want? And which will win? Featuring prominent voices from all sides of the debate, this series explores the ideas and anxieties driving one of the most consequential struggles in modern Israeli history. https://megaphone.imgix.net/podcasts/e61d11de-5f8c-11f1-b716-5319fb388215/image/870462470f8a534c3c4cbe869c99bdbb.jpg?ixlib=rails-4.3.1&max-w=3000&max-h=3000&fit=crop&auto=format,compress The Battle for Israel's Soul https://www.tabletmag.com/podcasts/battle-for-israels-soul no serial Tablet Studios Early 2023 was a good time in Israel.
