Straight from the heart of Jerusalem comes the only English talk show on broadcast radio in the State of Israel. Yishai and Malkah Fleisher, two well-known internet radio personalities, made the leap to broadcast FM radio on the new Galey Yisrael station in Israel, blazing a trail to create content for the growing segment of the Israeli public that speaks English. Here at JewishPress.com we are proud to present The Yishai Fleisher Show online for listening and for download in cooperation with Galey Yisrael radio.

Click the links below to listen or download this week’s show:

Segment #1: Jewish Culture with Cranberry Sauce

Malkah finds a deal on canned cranberry sauce in a shop in Jerusalem stocked with American imports and this sets off a deep discussion on the process of the diaspora assimilating back into the Jewish homeland. How to find the right pathway to combine cherished tastes and preferences with life in the Jewish homeland. There is the potential for cultural clash but great combinations can be made in the process. What is your comfort zone? What does authentic native Jewish dress look like? Can ancient Hebrew script come back into use by modern Israelis? Finally, Yishai reads the email from the week. Please send e-mail to show@yishaifleisher.com.

Segment #2: Knesset Jeremy on Latest Politics in Israel

Jeremy Saltan discusses entry into politics by Yair Lapid (son of Tommy Lapid who founded the Shinui Party), Noam Shalit (father or Gilad Shalit), and Rabbi Aryeh Deri (former Shas Party leader now starting his own party). Knesset shananigans result in Anastassia Michaeli (Yisrael Beitenu MK) throwing water in an education committee meeting after she was harshly told to “shut up” by MK Ghaled Majadle (Labor). The role of the media in Israeli politics as media personalities are in many parties and this is increasingly the path into political power. Finally, MK Ayoub Kara brings a gun into the Knesset?! Learn about Knesset member immunity. More from Knesset Jeremy on his blog at http://knessetjeremy.com/

Segment #3 : Security Wall or Political Tool?

Part one of a fascinating discussion with alternative peace activist and educator Yehuda HaKohen. Yehuda teaches history at several Jerusalem institutions and organizes grassroots Jewish-Arab dialogue sessions for the purpose of fostering mutual acceptance and understanding. Yishai and Yehuda talk in depth about issues such as the real meaning of the Israeli “security wall”, European activists agitating in Hevron, and the Modern Orthodox bubble in the USA.

Segment #4: Is A “One State” Plan “Right Wing”?

Part Two of Yishai’s discussion with Yehuda HaKohen. Yishai and Yehuda drill down on the ideas underpinning the future of peace in the Middle East and review the history. In the last section of this segment Yishai thinks about the lesson of Moses and his choice to help the girls at the well in Midian – what can we learn from this story about leadership? Don’t miss Leah Bat Tzion Fleisher making a special appearance at minute 22:00!!!

Gilor-Dov

Israel is a country that understands security concerns. Many civil rights have been sacrificed in the name of security and Israelis are used to being checked every time they enter a shopping center, a large store or any public building. Americans recently learned that they, too, are subject to many checks on their most private activities.

Moshe-Feiglin-022213

Without a clear worldview, it is impossible to coherently deal with the challenge of the strategic changes taking place throughout the world – and particularly in the Middle East. Before our very eyes, a worldwide and local revolution is unfolding; their significance is greater than both World Wars combined.

No one can envy President Obama’s current dilemma over Syria.

His decision to begin arming the Syrian rebels challenging Bashar Assad’s regime drew charges that the rebel forces are driven by jihad movements, particularly al Qaeda. Further, many rebel spokesmen have regularly denounced Israel and suggested that once in power they will end Mr. Assad’s policy of not rocking the boat with Israel. How, then, critics ask, could the president align the U.S. with the rebels?

In a gushing report on the election of Hassan Rohani as Iran’s new president, The New York Times began with this: “In a striking repudiation of the ultraconservatives who wield power in Iran, voters…overwhelmingly elected a mild-mannered cleric who advocates greater personal freedoms and a more conciliatory approach to the world.”

Last month in this space we noted that the New York State Assembly was considering legislation that would prohibit domestic insurers from including on their financial statements investments in companies that engage in investment activities in Iran. These financial statements are relied upon by the state to determine whether the company is solvent and able to pay claims. That bill has since passed the Assembly, but the New York State Senate is balking at passing it as well.

There is no other candidate running for mayor who supports our community’s values as Salgado does.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then children’s eyes are the window to the Almighty Himself.

Adding Turkey to the list of volatile states would mean even more uncertainty for Israel.

Making Rouhani the president was a brilliant strategic move for Khamene’i.

Noone, least of all me, wants to see any Arab child suffer, God forbid.

The Sanctuary was built with an ezrat nashim, a separate area for women.

The 686 men who expressed their desire to run in Iran’s presidential election were whittled down to 8.
