Episode notes

Rabbi Noah Farkas is the president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles. He was just in Israel last week, lobbying for a compromise on these judicial reforms. "When there is discord, concern and conflict within the state of Israel, all of us as global Jews are rightfully concerned"

Far-right judicial reforms have inspired what might be the largest protests in the history of Israel. If adopted, the reforms could spell the end of democracy in the world’s only majority-Jewish country.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Matthew Collette, Victoria Chamberlin and Siona Petrous, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
