This week Miriam speaks about her failure at Western Exceptionalist Ashkinormativity. Kidding, kind of. Jews have plenty of existential yearning. This is a moment that Jews in the Diaspora and Holy rollin’ (or not) types here in Israel have cried and actively not cried more than we ever wanted to. Being a mother in Israel since October 7, 2023 means that we are thinking of how the world will be fo...

Shayna and Miriam talk bread, painting, dance parties, and bomb shelters for tiny kids living in Tzfat. Tzfat is the city where Jewish Mysticism has its soul. What it lacks in modern infrastructure and safety for vulnerable populations, it makes up in holiness, love, and a certain scrappiness that gets things done. Shayna’s Non Profit Sparks to Life has already built 20 bomb shelters in the Tzfat...

This is a palette cleansing episode in which Miriam speaks into the void, aka talks to herself into a microphone. A subscriber recently forwarded me an article from Israel Hayom / JNS, Toll of war: Two-thirds of Israeli women report health decline . Part of me says, “Yes. We ARE struggling, thanks for noticing,” and I say that with a “Miriam facetiousness score” of 40/100 (I am still working on th...

Miriam speaks with writer Gila Green, who’s upcoming book With a Good Eye is available wherever you buy books in the USA and Canada, and for Israelis on Amazon . We sit in her home in Beit Shemesh to talk books, writing, war, and more. As much as we discussed during our chat, it is only the tip of the iceberg about What Gila is up to.

This episode is different from our usual interview format because this week, Miriam and her Husband, Olivier Delasalle, chat after a very long day during Hofesh Gadol, also known as the fifteen days between Camp and Gan / Maon.

Becky and Miriam talk about what we can do to help families during this fakakte war with Gaza, et al.

Becky started her own Initiative to send Wolt gift cards to Miluim wives. Basically, we all want to help, and there’s not many reason...

Lital and Miriam are so tired that we forgot how to be subtle. Just kidding, we’re Israeli, that’s not a thing. Join us for answers to these big questions: * Why is Israel so great? Spoiler: it’s the Cottage Cheese. * So, you say you like Broadway? How about b’Ivrit? (In Hebrew?) * Why are Thyroids such fickle things? * How can you get your husband to notice the dirty laundry? * Can you micromanag...

Zehava and Miriam alternate between giggles and utter despair with remarkable ease. Join us for answers to this weeks big questions: Why does Miriam have such high self esteem?

Even the one’s you don’t like will...
