Summary

As the Jewish year draws to a close, it mirrors its beginning—with Israel under attack. At the start of what is no ordinary Rosh Hashanah, Yonit and Jonathan discuss Iran’s firing of nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel and reflect on the 12 months that have passed since the horror of October 7. Plus two conversations that might just lift the spirits – one with Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, the other with a fellow New Yorker who made a life-changing decision on the eve of October 7.

The Jewish year ended much as it began with an unprecedented attack on Israel intended to cause maximum casualties,

0:07.0

but after one year of war, Israel was prepared. This is in no way a regular Russia Shahna,

0:12.0

Eve, we will talk about everything that has been happening, and we will also bring you some strength and resilience

0:18.0

with two conversations that will bring a smile to your face.

It's Unholy. I'm Unite Levy of Channel 12 in Tel Avid.

It's Unholy, two Jews on the news. Should we admit the truth, which is you and I had already prepared, recorded, it was in

0:45.9

the can, a special episode for Russia Shana when the phones started going late afternoon, early evening Israel time, with these alerts, with these messages, sending the whole population really into their shelters, their safe rooms as Israel came under Iranian attack.

1:07.3

I mean, so, you know, Yoni, you lived through it. We were communicating as it was

happening. You were broadcasting to the nation as it was happening. Just, I mean, talk us through it.

attack, that Israel's allies stepped up yet again, and that the Israeli public was very, very

1:35.4

careful and listened to the Homefront Command.

1:37.5

The bad news is that Iran had the ability and dexterity and audacity to attack Israel directly with more than 180 missiles.

1:50.2

So I think that is what we should talk about.
