Welcome back to the re-education.

After this episode, I will be taking a three-month hiatus.

Don't worry, I will be back.

So if you're longing for more content, I recommend going through the archives.

There are several good episodes that will keep you busy until I return.

But before our pause, I wanted to leave my listeners with a classic.

This episode examines the leader of the Jewish underground in British Mandate Palestine.

His name was Monachem Begin.

His journey took him from a Gulag in Siberia to the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo.

And in this episode, I will focus on his time in The Resistance.

My guest is the author of Monachem Begin, the Battle for Israel's Soul, Daniel Gordas.

So pour yourself a glass of wine.

This episode is a banger.

Hello. is a banger. This is what an Israeli political earthquake sounds like.

The date is May 17, 1977, and the settlers in the territory Israel won 10 years earlier in the Six-Day

War were over the moon.

The cause of their jubilation was the election of a center-right coalition known as Likud.

For the first time in its history, the socialist founding fathers of Israel were driven

from power.

This is how the news was conveyed on Israeli television. It was a television.

It was, not a woman, not much, to not muchmech, the manabedat,

a nichakhan barur to machal on the manhara.
