Summary

While coverage of the Queen's death continues to dominate British news outlets, Yonit and Jonathan dive into the relationship between the Royal Family and the Jewish community - which may see the taking of a long-awaited step with a new king on the block. Also this week, we explain how the political aspect of applying the core curriculum to Haredi students in Israel coincides with a New York Times piece on the funds invested in Ultra Orthodox schools in Brooklyn. And, as Europe nears a hard winter, Yonit and Jonathan are joined by one of the sharpest minds writing on climate change, David Wallace Wells, to discuss the impending and devastating dangers of our current trajectory but also underscore that we can still avert a total catastrophe.Plus - our host / opinion columnist / author adds yet another title to his expanded resume - debuting a new play on the roots of antisemitism in Britain. -- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unholypodcast/and X: https://x.com/2jewsonthenewsJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1150578065793142 Subscribe to our blog: https://unholypodcast.substack.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00.0	This podcast is brought to you by Cyber Attacks Can Be Prevented. Checkpoint, you deserve the best security.
0:08.9	This week on the podcast, we will be discussing the biggest question there is about the future of our planet with someone who grapples with this question more deeply than most.
0:20.0	We'll be talking about the elections in Israel
0:22.4	that are just over, well, six weeks away or so. Obviously, we will be checking in with National
0:28.4	Morning in Britain with the Queen and we'll be talking about a little bit of extracurricular
0:32.7	activities that some of us may have been doing beyond the podcast. We have lots to talk about, Your Honor.
0:38.3	We do indeed.
0:39.7	Jonathan Friedland has written something else that we shall discuss.
0:42.8	But for now, I'm Nate Levy of Channel 12 in Tel Avid.
0:45.9	And I'm Jonathan Friedland of The Guardian in London.
0:48.8	And this is Unholme.
0:49.6	Thank you. On only two Jews on the news from Keshe podcast, Jonathan, I assume it's still very much royal news 24-7 over there.
1:07.3	It is. The first signs of some dissent from that, actually. People beginning to say
1:12.7	kind of enough, the sheer volume of coverage, but most of the broadcasters, most media
1:17.5	organisations are just not going to dare deviating from the script or from the sort of
1:24.0	orthodoxy, and therefore this is just all the time. It is a kind of period where
1:30.2	Britain could look akin to one of those countries where there are, you know, the state broadcaster,
1:35.7	state mandated morning pictures. I mean, it does have a look of that. When you walk around
1:41.1	the streets of London, there are images of the late
1:44.4	queen in every bus shelter on big billboards. There's just a little, something vaguely Cuban
1:50.1	about it, you know, that you would sort of, instead of Fidel, it's Elizabeth. And I've spoken,
