“Yossi and Donniel continue to give me hope during these dark times. I so appreciate their wisdom, honesty, willingness to ask tough questions, and even their arguments. I always come away from this podcast feeling strengthened. Thank you so much!”

“If you want the Israeli leftist perspective, this is your podcast. Find out why Netanyahu is the most evil Israeli prime minister ever. Considering how young Israel is there probably isn’t a lot of competition.”

“A friend turned me onto this pod. Really appreciate the deep, heartfelt conversation from two wise older Jews living in Israel. AND, it’s really painful to listen to Donniel Hartman constantly interrupting to make his point. He’s not a good listener, has to always have the last word, and...”Read full review »

But somewhere over the past two months, there has been a shift to consistently negative perspectives in this podcast, everything is bad, everyone is Falling apart, everyone is corrupt and I am just...”Read full review »

I began listening to the conversation between Donielle and Yossi from the beginning of the Israel at War recordings. It has been an incredible gift to progress through the...”Read full review »

“I found your podcast as a non-Jewish American trying to make sense of 10/7. I’ve read about Palestinians for about 15 years and how modern Israel began. I wanted to hear Jewish people wrestle with the attack, living with people of the 3 main religions side by side, but mostly the wrestling. This...”Read full review »

“How can it be said that the Israeli government was elected by a majority of the people? Did the current PM win a majority of the vote, did his party win a majority of the vote, did the coalition win a majority of the vote? My understanding is that the answer is no to all three questions.

“While I do appreciate your coverage of the attack on two Bar and one Bat Mitzvah celebrants at the wall by Haredim, you leave out misogyny! The haredim have been violent toward women praying at the wall for decades. You cannot analyze the problem and not mention women in an hourlong discussion.”
