Wartime Diaries: Idit Ohel

March 19, 2024 19:32 - 26 minutes - 61.3 MB

Alon Ohel - a talented young jazz pianist - was kidnapped from the Nova party on October 7th, and has been held hostage in Gaza ever since. His family has spent the last five plus months sending him good vibes and good music. In today's episode, his mother - Idit Ohel - talks about the importance of energy, friendship and hope during these dire times. The end song is Shuvi Elay ("Return to Me") by Avishai Cohen and friends. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Sharon Gutman Gilor

March 05, 2024 19:54 - 14 minutes - 33.8 MB

One of very few positive outcomes of this war is that the ongoing debate surrounding the participation of female soldiers in combat has been decisively answered. Women are, as the IDF’s Chief of Staff - Herzi Halevi - has said on multiple occasions, an integral part of the military effort. They serve in tanks and in field intelligence posts, as pilots and naval officers, infantry soldiers, engineering specialists, canine handlers, medics and more. In fact, out of the 625 doctors and paramedi...

Wartime Diaries: Aliza Raz-Melzer

February 23, 2024 07:48 - 19 minutes - 44.5 MB

There has been endless talk of the “Home Front” during this war. The "Home Front," as in what goes on here in Israel, as opposed to what happens on the battlefield - in the streets and alleyways of Gaza. But, there is - of course - also a home front, or rather many different kinds of home fronts: some are stoic, others less so; some are somehow managing, others not at all. Much to her dismay, Aliza Raz-Melzer's 50-year-old husband Amiad volunteered to go fight. She gave us a glance into her ...

A Once-in-a-Decade Announcement

February 16, 2024 09:41 - 4 minutes - 11.3 MB

We have some truly exciting news: For the first time in almost a decade, we're launching a new podcast. Look for Sipur Yerushalmi wherever you get your podcasts.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Noam Tsuriely

February 07, 2024 14:10 - 18 minutes - 42.7 MB

Some 350,000 Israelis have been called up to reserve duty since the start of the war, in what has been the largest mobilization in the country’s history. These are people who were plucked out of their homes, families and daily lives, and inserted into a totally different world, one which is in most cases - just to add to the confusion - a mere car ride away. And those transitions back and forth, between the craziness of the frontline and the veneer of normalcy at home, can be dizzying and un...

Wartime Diaries: Maya German and Benjamin Fainsod

January 30, 2024 13:09 - 17 minutes - 40 MB

Today's "Wartime Diary" takes us to a place that is, under normal circumstances, one of the most visited sites in the entire country - Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo, or as it's officially known, 'The Tisch Family Zoological Gardens.' Since the start of the war, the city of Jerusalem has welcomed more than 30,000 evacuees from both the North and the South. With such an influx of people, and especially of kids, there was a real need to create new programming and activities. The Jerusalem Foundation...

Wartime Diaries: Hugo (Uri) Wolaj

January 22, 2024 20:45 - 22 minutes - 50.6 MB

The war has been going on for over three months, and many of us have settled into some sort of altered routine, a "new normal." But there are hundreds of thousands of people, possibly millions, for whom nothing is normal. Hugo (Uri) Wolaj of Kibbutz Be’eri is one of them: everything about his life - his job, his friends, his family, his parenting style, everything - changed on October 7th. Uri spent more than 20 hours that day hiding with his wife and daughters in the safe room. They were ev...

Wartime Diaries: 100 Days

January 14, 2024 14:39 - 2 minutes - 5.37 MB

Today is the hundredth day of the war. And, though our Wartime Diaries series continues, we want to stop, mark this day and share 100 seconds of the many voices we’ve been hearing among - and around - us, since October 7th. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Charlene Seidle

January 10, 2024 00:41 - 19 minutes - 44.6 MB

Upwards of $1 billion in donations have been sent to Israel since the start of the war. For years Charlene Seidle, the Executive Vice President of the San Diego-based Leichtag Foundation, has been at the forefront of the Jewish philanthropic world. While the Leichtag Foundation supports various causes in the States and in Israel, their main local focus is bridging social and economic gaps in Jerusalem. They’ve given life to hundreds of grassroots initiatives and have created the ‘Jerusalem M...

Wartime Diaries: Omer Ohana

December 31, 2023 21:44 - 26 minutes - 61.3 MB

The war has brought many new people into the limelight: For nearly three months we've been hearing countless stories of casualties, hostages, survivors and family members, many of whom have entered our hearts and never left. In some cases we feel like we’ve gotten to know these unsung heroes personally. One of the first big stories of the war, in that initial crazy week after October 7th, was that of 30-year-old Sagi Golan from Herzliya - a decorated officer in an anti-terrorism unit, who wa...

Wartime Diaries: Issa Kassissieh

December 24, 2023 22:07 - 16 minutes - 37 MB

It’s a sad Christmas Eve in Jesus’ homeland. The alleyways of Jerusalem’s Old City, the streets of Nazareth, the churches of Bethlehem - all usually bustling with countless pilgrims and tourists from all over the world - are largely empty. There are no trees, no stars, no sparkling lights. Christmas has essentially been canceled, and not just as a figure of speech: Back in November, the patriarchs and heads of practically all the local Christian denominations issued a decree calling upon the...

Wartime Diaries: Shira Masami

December 21, 2023 22:41 - 20 minutes - 47.3 MB

More than 200,000 Israelis - from both the South and the North - have been forced to leave their homes since the start of the war. Some have relocated to hotels or kibbutzim, others have opted to move in with family or friends, or else even rent apartments in entirely new surroundings. In today's episode we get a glimpse of what that reality feels like. Shira Masami is one of nearly 30,000 residents who have left the southern city of Sderot - a city which suffered a horrendous attack on Octo...

We Need to Talk

December 14, 2023 16:31 - 6 minutes - 15.7 MB

Stories are the strongest way to connect. To understand. To care. Under normal circumstances we’d create some sort of polished appeal, but obviously these are not normal circumstances. If what we do has been helpful, or you think it is important, please support us and share our show with friends and family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Riyad Ali

December 12, 2023 22:56 - 22 minutes - 51.5 MB

Since the start of the military operation in Gaza, countless reports by journalists embedded with the IDF troops have appeared in the Israeli media. But there was one eight-and-a-half minute-long TV broadcast that aired on Kan - the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation - that stood out. In it, Riyad Ali, a 61-year-old Druze journalist from the town of Maghar in the Galilee, accompanied soldiers from the Golani Brigade who were operating in the Zeitun neighborhood of Gaza City. He spoke to...

Wartime Diaries: Adam Ben Shabath

December 08, 2023 11:12 - 18 minutes - 41.9 MB

As has been said many times in the past, identity is like an onion: There are layers of family and country, religion and political persuasions, favorite sports teams, musical preferences and on and on. But for many, such as 23-year-old Adam Ben Shabath, it is their hometown which stands at the center of it all. And now, as a result of the war, Adam's village of Neve Shalom/Wahat as-Salam - with its unique population and delicate equilibrium - is being torn at the seams. Residents are questio...

Wartime Diaries: Shalom Weil

December 04, 2023 22:36 - 20 minutes - 47.6 MB

As of today, more than 400 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the war. Each one of those deaths, of course, not only marks the end of a life, but also shatters a family, a community, a tribe. And that ripple effect, that communal grieving, was palpable following the death of reservist Yossi Heshkovitz, the 44-year-old Principal of the Religious Zionist Pelech School for Boys in Jerusalem, who was killed on Friday, November 10th.  Like Yossi, his dear friend and colleague Shalom Weil, has ...

Wartime Diaries: Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin

November 30, 2023 22:10 - 25 minutes - 57.4 MB

Many of you have probably heard, or read about, Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin, the parents of 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was kidnapped from the Nova Party. In many ways they’ve emerged as the face of the hostage families - they’ve met with Biden and the Pope, they were on the cover of Time Magazine, Rachel has spoken at the UN and at the ‘March for Israel’ Rally in Washington D.C. And in all those places, as well as in countless other interviews, speeches and meetings, they’ve tol...

Wartime Diaries: Elliot Cosgrove and Mishy Harman

November 28, 2023 13:51 - 24 minutes - 56.5 MB

Last week, our host Mishy Harman was interviewed by Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove for the Park Avenue Synagogue Podcast. And as this is, in a way, Mishy's wartime diary, we decided to share it with our listeners too. Today is Giving Tuesday, and we really need your support. As you probably know, almost as soon as the war began, we pivoted our entire operation and launched our Wartime Diaries series, in which we bring you voices that try to capture slivers of life right now. These episodes reach th...

Wartime Diaries: Doron Krakow

November 26, 2023 21:43 - 17 minutes - 39.7 MB

This war is a humbling experience for us all. People — no matter who they are or what they normally do — are simply trying to pitch in wherever they can. We’ve thus seen ex-generals jump into their private cars and go save civilians from the carnage of October 7th, former ministers and senior politicians volunteer to pick cherry tomatoes on farms near Gaza, and rock stars jam for a single soldier on an army base. Likewise, Doron Krakow — the President and CEO of the JCC Association of North...

Wartime Diaries: Hagit Maoz

November 23, 2023 21:04 - 16 minutes - 37.1 MB

Almost immediately after the start of the attack of October 7th, as rockets were being launched at Jerusalem, and sirens sent the city’s one million residents into shelters, the heads of the Israel Museum initiated an emergency protocol for the first time since the Gulf War in 1991. The idea was to protect the nation’s most priceless cultural and historical treasures, the building blocks of our collective identity. The very first step of that protocol was to secure the Museum’s most prized ...

Wartime Diaries: Datya Itzhaki

November 21, 2023 22:49 - 19 minutes - 43.6 MB

In the summer of 2005, the government of Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza. The roughly 8,000 residents of the 21 Jewish settlements within the Gaza Strip were forced to leave their homes and their communities, which – for decades – they had actually been encouraged and incentivized to inhabit. The move brought the country to the brink of a civil war. This was especially palpable in the tense relations between the residents of Gush Katif (as the main block of Gaza settlements was known...

Wartime Diaries: Hai Ashkenazi

November 19, 2023 21:41 - 14 minutes - 34 MB

53-year-old Hai Ashkenazi from Tel Aviv is an archeologist, but never imagined he would find himself excavating a 21st-century Kibbutz. Yet in the insane reality that has become our life since October 7th, archeologists too are part of the war effort, and the term “destruction layer” has accrued a contemporary and chilling meaning. The end song is She'eriot shel Hachaim ("Residue of Life") by The Idan Raichel Project. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Ronit Farm

November 16, 2023 20:53 - 15 minutes - 35.9 MB

Normally Chavat Ronit – or Ronit Farm – is a high-end event venue north of Herzliya. Ra’anan Arizon’s seventy dunams are full of quaffed lawns, picturesque trees, instagramable gazebos, a gorgeous pond and a lot of peaceful nature. All of that makes the farm an idyllic setting for upscale weddings and parties. Now, however, it has been converted into an “emotional” emergency room. With all its different stations and activities, it feels like a summer camp for adults, except for the fact that ...

Wartime Diaries: Chaya Gilboa

November 14, 2023 20:46 - 18 minutes - 43 MB

Chaya Gilboa is a Talmud teacher, an activist, a flaming redhead, and was – for the last three years – the CEO of the Jerusalem Philanthropic Initiatives, which works with local civil society. On October 11th, Chaya turned 40, but instead of any kind of celebration, she was leading a team at the Jerusalem Chamal – the epicenter of the city’s volunteer efforts. The end song is Anashim Shkufim ("Transparent People") by May Zamosh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Faiz Abu Sabehan

November 12, 2023 21:42 - 16 minutes - 37.4 MB

Over the last five weeks we’ve spoken to many families of hostages. That’s how we met Faiz Abu Sabehan, whose 53-year-old brother-in-law, Farhan al-Qadi – a father of eleven – has been kidnapped into Gaza. Faiz is a Bedouin politician, and has twice served as mayor of Rahat, the largest Arab city in Israel. He’s also an educator – a teacher, a principal and an administrator. Much like his political patron, Mansour Abbas, Faiz holds a complex position – he’s in favor of fully integrating into...

Wartime Diaries: Mishka Ben-David

November 10, 2023 00:24 - 20 minutes - 48 MB

Mishka Ben-David might seem – at first – like a harmless and cuddly grandpa, but the truth is that he’s lived many secret lives. He has somehow managed to seamlessly transition from community organizing to academia to horse breeding to an illustrious career as a senior Mossad agent. Today, however, he spends most of his time writing. Over the years he has authored 21 books – a combination of spy novels, love stories, philosophy treaties, and literary criticism. Many of them are local best-se...

Wartime Diaries: Agi Mishol

November 08, 2023 20:58 - 9 minutes - 22.7 MB

77-year-old Agi Mishol is one of Israel’s most prominent, beloved and widely-read poets. Over the years she’s won practically every literary prize here, and Amos Oz once said that her poems “know how to tell a tale, to sing a song and also dance.” Her poetry is colorful and playful, full of nature and a love of the land. And that makes sense since – in addition to writing – Agi and her husband Giora are also farmers, who grow peaches, pomegranates and persimmons. The end song is “Kalipso” b...

Wartime Diaries: Sahar Vardi

November 07, 2023 21:47 - 23 minutes - 54.3 MB

Today we’ll hear from Sahar Vardi, a Jewish-Israeli peace activist who lost a dear friend, Khalil Abu Yahia, in Gaza. The end song is Tamaly Maak (“I Am With You”) by Tzachi Halevy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Louish Rijal

November 06, 2023 21:49 - 14 minutes - 34.3 MB

Among the thousands of people who had the terrible misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time on October 7th, there were also – as we now all know – many foreigners. People who had little, or no, connection to the long history of violence between Jews and Arabs, Israel and Hamas. Among them were Filipino caregivers, Thai agricultural workers and also a group of Nepali students who had been accepted to an 11-month-long internship at the Sedot Negev Agricultural Training Center. ...

Wartime Diaries: Angela Buchdahl and Shlomo Nisanov

November 05, 2023 21:50 - 19 minutes - 44.4 MB

The nature of the attacks on October 7th, together with certain subsequent reactions around the world, have blurred the lines between Jews in Israel and Jews in the diaspora. Last week, the UJA Federation of New York brought over a delegation of 28 Jewish leaders – mainly rabbis and educators – on a jam-packed 48-hour-long whirlwind of a trip to Israel. We sat down with two, very different, members of the delegation – Reform Rabbi Angela Buchdahl and Orthodox Rabbi Shlomo Nisanov – to hear w...

Wartime Diaries: Gidon Lev

November 02, 2023 20:23 - 16 minutes - 37.5 MB

There’s a lot of Holocaust rhetoric in the air. ‘Never Again’ slogans have resurfaced, Netanyahu has said – on several occasions – that Hamas militants are worse than the Nazis, and just this week the Israeli delegation to the UN wore yellow stars at the Security Council. All of this is, of course, controversial, and many people – including many Holocaust survivors – have different feelings on the matter. Gidon Lev from Ramat Gan probably isn’t exactly what you imagine when you think of a H...

Wartime Diaries: Noga Friedman

November 01, 2023 20:45 - 7 minutes - 16.8 MB

45-year-old Ido Rosenthal from Moshav Ben Shemen served in an elite commando unit and was killed on the first day of the war. His wife, Noga, a sociology doctoral student at Ben Gurion University, has since been sharing her feelings on Facebook. She gave us permission to translate and record one of her posts.  The end song is Rikma Enoshit (“Human Tissue”) performed by Roni Dalumi. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Matti Friedman

October 31, 2023 21:49 - 16 minutes - 37 MB

The war caught everyone by surprise, of course, and since it broke out at the tail end of the chagim, many Israelis were abroad. What do you do in that case? Do you rush home? Do you continue your trip? Do you wait it out somewhere safe and far away? As it happens, on October 7th, our producer Mitch Ginsburg was hiking across the Scottish Highlands with his buddy – author, journalist and friend of the show, Matti Friedman. This is their story.  The end song is “San Francisco” by Arik Einste...

Wartime Diaries: Alon Shalev

October 30, 2023 19:41 - 13 minutes - 29.9 MB

Many people sprung into action since October 7th. And yet, at the very same time, many Israelis feel… lost. Not everyone knows what to do, nor does everyone feel useful, capable or relevant. And that feeling resonates with Alon Shalev from Zur Hadassah.  The end song is Avot U’Banim (“Fathers and Sons”) by Eviatar Banai. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Tomer Oshri

October 29, 2023 20:44 - 11 minutes - 27.3 MB

During normal times Tomer Oshri – a 48-year-old history teacher from Jerusalem – works at JDC-Israel and runs an educational non-profit. Nowadays, however, he’s the man in charge of building and operating 17 different makeshift schools for survivors and displaced residents of the communities around the Gaza Border. The end song is Kol Od (“As Long As”) by Yoni Rechter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Adva Gutman Tirosh

October 26, 2023 20:47 - 17 minutes - 41.2 MB

Even today, nearly three weeks after the devastating attacks of October 7th, there are still hundreds of people who are considered “missing,” which means that they haven’t been confirmed dead, but – at the same time – there’s no definitive proof that they’ve been kidnapped into Gaza. One of those missing is Tamar Gutman, who was at the Nova Party in Re’im. Her sister Adva Gutman Tirosh talks about the difficulties of coping with uncertainty. This piece was produced by Yochai Maital. The en...

Wartime Diaries: Raz Newman

October 25, 2023 18:43 - 10 minutes - 24.3 MB

Israel has, of course, branded itself as the Start-Up Nation. And in many ways, Raz Newman is the classic Israeli tech entrepreneur. He’s 32, lives in Rishon Le’Zion, has two daughters, and spends most of his time researching AI and meeting with potential angel investors. On October 7th, as people began thinking how to best contribute, Raz immediately opened up his laptop and began building the AI Ezra Bot. This piece was produced by Yochai Maital. The end song is Kol Hadvarim Hayafim Be’e...

Wartime Diaries: Sivan Avnery

October 24, 2023 19:06 - 19 minutes - 45.5 MB

For months Sivan Avnery – a physical therapist from Kfar Shmaryahu – was active in the demonstrations against the judicial reforms. Like hundreds of thousands of other Israelis, he felt he was fighting for his home, for the very nature of his country. But he had no idea how true that was about to become. On Saturday morning, October 7, Sivan received a message which is every parent’s worst nightmare: His 18-year-old son Tal was – unbeknownst to him – at the Nova party in Re’im, and was now ...

Wartime Diaries: David Broza

October 23, 2023 19:49 - 14 minutes - 34 MB

There’s a long tradition of musicians and entertainers performing on the frontlines during times of war. And, indeed, almost immediately, Israel’s leading artists began crisscrossing the country in a joint effort to lift morale. For David Broza, this kind of work isn’t, unfortunately, new. He’s been performing for troops since the mid-seventies, and for the last two weeks hasn’t stopped for a minute. Broza has given more than fifty concerts since the start of the war — in hotel lobbies, arm...

Wartime Diaries: Yarnin Peled

October 22, 2023 19:28 - 17 minutes - 40.3 MB

Wars are often told through numbers – of the dead, the wounded, the missing, the misplaced. But behind each one of those numbers, there is – of course – a person, a family, a community whose life has been altered forever. For two weeks now we’ve been hearing survival stories, the likes of which we never imagined we’d hear again, at least not on this scale. This is one such story. The story of Yarnin Peled from Kibbutz Be’eri, who survived the carnage of October 7th. The end song is a commu...

Wartime Diaries: Mor Maisel

October 19, 2023 18:25 - 14 minutes - 34 MB

This war has forced many people to reevaluate their identities and political sensibilities—not an easy task during these shocking and painful days. Mor Maisel’s opinions are complicated and don’t conform to the norm, which may be challenging for some listeners, and reassuring for others. The end song is Anachnu Me’oto Hakfar (“We Are From The Same Village”) by Lehakat Pikud Merkaz. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Hedai Offaim

October 19, 2023 03:34 - 16 minutes - 37.6 MB

During this dark time, Israeli civil society has risen to the occasion. Hedai Offaim – a chef, farmer and social entrepreneur – has transformed his café into a relief kitchen where 750 volunteers prepare more than 10,000 nutritious meals a day for evacuated communities, families in mourning, families of hostages and reservists. Donors from Israel can use this link: https://payboxapp.page.link/gj55cdBQMNV81qmU7 - "ארוחות ללוחמים ולמפונים - משק עפאים" Donors who wish to make their gift to a ...

Wartime Diaries: Ofer Tamir

October 17, 2023 20:12 - 12 minutes - 28.2 MB

After the entire team of Kibbutz Kissufim’s dairy farm was murdered, Ofer Tamir from Nahalal rushed down south to rescue the local cows. The end song is Kissufim by Etti Ankri. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: The Eulogy for Roi Rotberg

October 16, 2023 20:55 - 11 minutes - 27.4 MB

In 1956, Moshe Dayan – then the IDF’s Chief of Staff – delivered a eulogy for a fallen member of Kibbutz Nahal Oz. That eulogy had a tremendous impact on Israeli society and is just as poignant today as it was sixty-seven years ago. The end song is Shir Eres Negbi (“A Southern Lullaby”) performed by Shoshana Damari. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Katherine Leff

October 15, 2023 18:37 - 12 minutes - 28.8 MB

Despite everything, life continues amid the horror. For Katherine Leff, this meant going ahead with the day she’d been dreaming about for so long — her wedding day. The end song is Od Yishma (“Again It Will Be Heard”) by Ishay Ribo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Itai Kramer

October 14, 2023 21:38 - 13 minutes - 30.4 MB

This episode includes graphic descriptions of violence. At age 50, Itai Kramer is no longer obligated to serve in the reserve forces, yet he volunteered anyway. Itai tells us about what went through his mind when he decided to drop everything and put on his uniform. The end song is Machar Ani Babayit (“Tomorrow I’ll Be Home”) by Ethnix. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Ariel Markose

October 13, 2023 10:46 - 14 minutes - 32.7 MB

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been called up to reserve duty. But what about the families they leave behind? Episode artwork courtesy of Noa Kelner. The end song is Ima (“Mother”) by Yehuda Levi and Ninet Tayeb. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wartime Diaries: Sasha Ariev

October 12, 2023 13:00 - 13 minutes - 30.9 MB

Everything in this corner of the world has changed since Saturday, October 7. All around us, friends, family, colleagues, people have died. People are missing. People have been kidnapped. There’s a lot of uncertainty and we’re all involved in dozens of initiatives but we’re also going to bring you some voices and testimonies that try to paint a picture of these devastating times. The end song is Nekuda Tova (“Good Point”), by Shuli Rand with Ehud Banai. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/priv...

64: Tell Saki – Part II

October 02, 2023 07:00 - 54 minutes - 124 MB

It’s been fifty years since the Yom Kippur War. And as such, we want to share our Tell Saki project, which first came out in 2021. Over the course of two episodes, we go back to the horrors of the war, and specifically to one small hill in the Southern Golan Heights where - over the course of thirty-six hours - a group of young IDF soldiers went to hell and back. Stay connected with us on Facebook, the platform formally known as Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, and by signing up for our newslet...
