Welcome to Inside Israel! Get ready to get intimate with Israel and discover the ins and outs of life in Israel, from what it’s like to raise a family in a country that’s under constant threat to the financial struggles of buying a home and even cottage cheese. In this podcast, I’ll take you on a tour and introduce you to the unsung heroes that make us proud to be a part of something so special. What makes me qualified to do this? Having served in the IDF as a lone soldier and having planted my kids in Israel 8 years ago on my resume.

Joel examines a phenomenon that’s overtaken the country — the bumper stickers now plastering everything in Israel, from cars and playground equipment to park benches, gas pumps, and even the walls outside Ben Gurion Airport.
These homemade memorials honor the soldiers and civilians Israel lost on and after October 7. Joel explains what these stickers are, how they spread, and what they reveal about Israelis and the Israeli psyche. In his view, this quiet, grassroots ritual captures something essential and uniquely Israeli: a refusal to let the fallen become faceless numbers, and a collective commitment to memory, individuality, and shared responsibility that he believes you won’t find anywhere else.
