Summary

In truly Israeli fashion, much has happened in the two weeks of Passover - and we've returned to try and make sense of it all! Following the holidays, Israel is deep into its season of commemoration - after this week’s Holocaust Remembrance, next week sees Memorial Day and Independence Day marking the 75th anniversary of the birth of the state. Yonit and Jonathan assess the outlook of these two occasions under the shadow of the protests - and bid farewell to two creative giants who greatly contributed to Israeli culture, with a post-mortem mensch award. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:58.3

It's quite true with our usual synchronicity and synergy.

1:03.9

I managed to be in the country when you weren't.

1:06.1

So that was not what we wanted.

1:08.4

That's because our secret contract stipulates that we can't be in the same country at the same time.

1:13.2

We can't be seen in the same place at the same time.

1:15.9

a beloved niece, and then, of course, being struck by terrible guilt at all the people,

1:43.4

and if you're one of them and you're listening,

that we just ran out of time in our sort of headless chicken dash from place to place to place.

1:51.4

I apologize. That kind of trip where when you get back, you think, right, now I need a holiday.
