Jerusalem Day, the DC Terror Attack, and Bob Dylan at 83
From May 26, 2025
On the eve of Jerusalem Day, Elliot delivers a state-of-the-city report: a young, divided, and surprisingly poor capital where Haredi and Arab students now outnumber Zionist-curriculum pupils. The hosts react to the terror attack on a DC synagogue and the leak of US plans to strike Iran. The episode closes with a birthday tribute to Bob Dylan, exploring his Jewish journey from "Neighborhood Bully" to "Forever Young"—with insights from Dylan's childhood friend Louis Kemp, now living in Jerusalem.
