Since Isaac is off coaching his frisbee team to a national championship, Ari and he couldn't record a Sunday podcast for you all. So to make up for that, we are releasing last week's special Friday edition interview for you all to enjoy.

On today's Friday edition, Isaac talks with Dr. Noam Weissman, Executive Vice President of OpenDor Media. Noam is a recognized thought leader in innovative Israel and Jewish education. Leading a team of producers and educators for the Unpacked brand, he reaches millions of young Jews yearly through articles, videos, and social media. Noam is the host of the Unpacked podcast “Unpacking Israeli History,” which consistently trends as the #1 Jewish podcast. He is also an Aspen Institute Fellow and a Scholar in Residence at the Horace Mann School in NY. Isaac and Noam touch on current events and the challenges of navigating identity and perspectives in a polarized environment, the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the importance of hope, empathy, and education.
