Summary

The war that began on October 7 is six months old: to mark the occasion, a special episode with three unique voices. Yonit and Jonathan hear from Israel's pre-eminent military analyst, Amos Harel, on the state of the conflict in Gaza - what's happened, what might come next and the prospects for a wider clash with Iran and Hizbullah. They speak with Rabbi Angela Buchdal of New York about how October 7 shook the Jewish diaspora, and how Judaism might serve as a consolation in these dark days. And they hear from CNN's BIanna Golodryga about the hostages taken that day and the challenge of keeping global attention on their increasingly desperate fate. Plus: some award winners - and an unexpected moment of song. -- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unholypodcast/Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1150578065793142See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:45.5	On October 7th, did you think that this would be where we are six months after? And he said,
0:53.1	you know, we thought in October, to be honest, we'd be
0:56.1	home lighting candles with our families in December and Hanukkah. It's the Jewish version of
1:02.2	we'd be home for Christmas. And kind of little did we know it would take six long months.
1:07.9	And no end in sight, really, not for the north and not for anywhere else yes I mean
