Passover, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the Question of Zionism's Success
From April 15, 2025
Recording during Passover, Elliot and Kalev reflect on seders shadowed by the hostage crisis and mark the 82nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. They explore Passover's historical roots and examine historian Richard Elliott Friedman's theory of Levite origins in the Exodus. The episode also tackles the Joe Rogan-Dave Smith interview on Israel, defends historian Tom Segev against accusations of anti-Zionism, and asks: has Zionism delivered on its promise of Jewish security?
