Episode of The Times of Israel‘s Times Will Tell podcast features Micah Goodman, whose book The Wondering Jew just came out in English. It’s a deep dive into the Israeli search for Jewish identity from both the secular and religious sides. He breaks down the differing foundational ideologies, how they connect and divide Israelis and proposes a middle path.

They also discuss the ultra-Orthodox community’s loud and proud noncompliance to coronavirus rules and the role of God in Purim.
