You might have heard of the Beta Israel, the community of Israel’s Ethiopian community. In this episode, Noam Weissman tells their story - not only their rich Jewish heritage and history, but also the story of how they got to Israel, in Operation Solomon, and their integration into Israeli society over the last thirty years. It’s thrilling, inspiring, but also complicated, and difficult at times. In other words, it’s a microcosm of the entire state of Israel, and the Jewish community the world over. ~~~~ Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Alan Fisher and Barbara Sommer, and Jon and Rachie Teller. ~~~~ Learn more about Unpacked: https://jewishunpacked.com/about/ Visit Unpacked on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unpacked  Teaching about this topic?

Sheikh Jarrah has become a focal point for the current situation in Israel. Avi and Sara unpack the complex history of Sheikh Jarrah and how what started thousands of years ago is playing out in real time today.   We’re not trying to show that the Palestinians are wrong and the Israelis are right, or vice versa. We’re educators and journalists who try to dig into complex stories, and explain each one in a way that is deeper and more nuanced than how they are often presented. ~~~~ Learn more about Unpacked: https://jewishunpacked.com/about/ Visit Unpacked on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unpacked  Teaching about this topic?

]]> 832 no Introducing: This Week Unpacked https://jewishunpacked.com/ Polarized. In more and more areas of life, that’s how the world increasingly feels. Whether on social media, our favorite YouTube channel, or at our schools and universities, it’s easy to spend our days in an echo chamber, hearing ideas we agree with, and not even encountering the ideas we disagree with. But is there any way to break out of these silos? To see the bigger picture, in a way that helps us understand stories, in all of their complexity — and empathize with the people impacted by those stories. Introducing our hosts: Avi Posen, a Jewish educator living in Haifa and Sara Himeles, a writer living in New York City. Polarization affects every community, and we think everyone could benefit from breaking through echo chambers and reaching outside of their silos. In this podcast, we’ll focus on how we can achieve this in the diverse Jewish world. Whether you live in Israel, or the Diaspora; identify with the political right, or left; or are Orthodox, Reform, or not observant at all, if you’re curious about current events in the Jewish world, this podcast is for you. Each week, we’ll unpack the most interesting, controversial news stories from Israel and the Jewish world. We’ll give you the history and context behind each story, and share multiple perspectives on the issue. We’re not here to prove a point, or tell you what to think; we’re here to uncover, excavate, and explore each story. And we guarantee you’ll leave each episode more informed, compassionate, and empathetic, with an expanded perspective of the people and ideas influencing today’s Jewish world. So join us. Follow and listen wherever you get your podcasts, with new episodes every Tuesday. This Week Unpacked is brought to you by Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media.
