    I’m an Israeli that has listened to your podcast from the beginning. I especially like it because it’s not about taking sides, but making available the human side of these turbulent years. It has not only informed me of the atmosphere that the Jewish community is living in the diaspora,but has told the remarkable stories of Israeli’s surrounding me. Thank you for your compassionate interviews and your wonderful music at the end of every episode.
