After the Holidays but Not Back to “Normal”

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh talks about the time period known as “acharei hachagim,” or “after the holidays” when things are supposed to get back to “normal.” Unfortunately as a result of the coronavirus lockdown, things have hardly returned to normal in Israel, as schools remain shuttered and businesses are closed. Israel’s coronavirus cabinet is scheduled to meet later this week to discuss a proposed gradual opening up of the country, but nothing is certain.

Understanding the Fast of Gedalia

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh explains why today (the 3rd of Tishrei) is a fast named after the murdered Babylonian-appointed Jewish governor Gedalia Ben Ahikam.

Also on the show, the latest on Israel’s coronavirus lockdown, plus the US has a straight moral compass when it comes to Iran, while other countries try to let the Mullahs off their hook for exporting terror across the globe.
