A new investigative podcast series hosted by Keren Neubach, titled "Ad Haketze" (To the Edge), is offering listeners a deep dive into pressing and complex issues in Israel and globally. Four episodes released this week are available for streaming, covering diverse topics.
The first episode examines the "culture war" during Donald Trump's presidency, exploring how historical narratives, culture, and academia became battlegrounds for identity and values. Historian Dr. Roni Regev discusses whether this struggle reshaped America's character and its connection to upcoming midterm elections.
The second episode focuses on the political career of Avigdor Lieberman, tracing his journey from Netanyahu's Prime Minister's Office director to his shifts in political alliances and past investigations. Political commentator Yoav Krakovsky joins Neubach to discuss these key moments.
Another episode features a conversation with Dr. Nahami Yaffe, a researcher of Haredi society from Tel Aviv University. Yaffe discusses the Haredi task force she established after October 7th, the subsequent estrangement she experienced, and the ongoing debate surrounding Haredi conscription. She also shares a personal anecdote where a supervisor in the Haredi education system called her "our nightmare."
The final episode, reported by Oren Aharoni, investigates allegations of child marriage in Yavne'el, a town celebrating its 125th anniversary. Aharoni met Sarah, who grew up in the "Heichal Hakodesh" Breslov community and is trying to leave it. His attempts to get answers from local council leaders, the religious council, and the welfare department revealed a pattern of responsibility-shifting.
