Hello, everyone. This is Yonit. We went around the globe this past August, speaking to Jewish communities.

We hop between Germany, Australia, and Argentina, speaking to Jewish journalists, hearing about the uniqueness of every community, but also what's in common, what brings them all together.

All of the conversations are available on our YouTube

channel and our podcasting platforms, but we wanted to remind you briefly of the two conversations

we already aired and conclude our tour this week in Argentina. We began our tour with Ilanit

Shpina in Germany. She talked about the many concerns the community has and she has personally,

but there was also a dash of optimism. I think there's no Jewish

community in this world where you don't have internal arguments and fight. That's just the way it is. I mean, let's not, you know, that's not shirk code it because that's just the way it is. And so it's part of our charm. It's part of the charm. It's part, it's just the way it is. So, okay let's just make that straight but and that is something you know you try to see the positive

side out of everything. At least that's the way I tend to see things. And that is something beautiful that I've seen, that you do feel very unified. And that's something that I think is part of, you know, Nefeshchihudi, the Jewish soul, that's what makes Jews Jews, and that's

what makes us the way we are. Even in the biggest times of darkness, there's still this light

that we see. And I feel very unified in that all over the world, Jews seem to be coming together

and communities are coming together. Because I think that's the secret why Israel is still there.

Because in hard times and difficult times and times of wars, even if you have your differences

and I know there's no other country that likes to argue as much as Israelis and likes to portray their opinions.

But if it comes down to things and in hard times we stick together. We're unified. And that is something beautiful

that I've been seeing in Germany throughout the communities at this very moment.

Next up, Melbourne, Australia. Last week, the Prime Minister announced Australia would be

recognizing a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September. The Israeli response

and the U.S. response was scathing. This comes on the

coattails of a tumultuous period for Australian Jews with anti-Semitic incidents and anti-Israeli demonstrations.

We spoke to Nomi Kaltman, a journalist and a unique voice. Here, we press play again on a more

encouraging moment from our conversation. I'm optimistic about the innovation. Jews in this country are phenomenal.
