Hello, I'm Yonit Levy of Channel 12 in Tel Aviv.

And I'm Jonathan Friedland of The Guardian in London.

And we are unholy two Jews on the News from Kesheap podcast.

Jonathan, maybe for this episode we'll just switch to holy instead of our familiar title.

Guilt ridden, we must drop anything that sounds sacrilegious because we are in the, what are we on?

We're on sort of day nine or day eight as we talk of the ten days.

Right.

Of penitence and atonement and repentance.

And the big one, Yom Kippur, the big day itself, judgment day is very nearly upon us.

So you're right.

Best behavior for most behavior for our Yom Kippur episode, our fast episode, if you will, or fast.

No. Yeah, I would say fast, yes, gosh, yes, you're right.

It sounded so ridiculous when you said it.

I thought, of course I wouldn't say that.

But yes, that is what I say.

We're about to fast, long A.

And so, yes, I just thought, we both thought it would be nice just to sort of check in before we all disappear in a world of, I mean, I don't know how you do it.

I'm quite hardcore on this, no screens, no phones, no devices.

In fact, I've just had a big discussion with my kids about how rigorously I'm going to enforce the no screens, no gadgets, no phones

rule. And I'm hardcore on that. I think it's 25 hours where you sort of retreat from modernity,

is how I see it. I want it to be a bit timeless and a bit ancient. I surprisingly see it the exact

same way as you do. It it's surprising. I know.
