Hi, it's Dan. Over the past couple of years, Call Me Back has grown into something much bigger than we ever expected, a place for clarity, context, and honest conversations at a time when those things can seem hard to find. That's what Arc Media is all about, building a truly independent voice, which means no one shaping what we say or how we say it.

To help support our rapidly expanding operations, we created Inside Call Me Back,

our members-only feed, where we answer your questions and bring you into the conversations

that typically happen after the cameras stop rolling.

If Call Me Back has been meaningful to you and you want to be part of what we're building,

I hope you'll join us.

Right now, we're offering an annual subscription for $60.

That's just $5 a month.

Your contribution goes a long way in helping us show up when it matters most. You can subscribe at

arcmedia.org or through the link in the show notes. And to our insiders, thank you.

You are listening to an art media podcast.

Yeah. again. I don't live in the country that I thought that I lived in. It's 9.30 a.m. on Sunday, May 3rd here in New York City. It is 4.30 p.m. on Sunday, May 3rd in Israel.

Over the past two and a half years, anti-Semitic violence and harassment in the United States

has surged to unprecedented levels. And the debate over where the line falls between legitimate

protest and outright Jew hatred has consumed many aspects of American politics.
