Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"How's the wifi on the boat?" ◼️ The chasm separating American Jews and Israelis, the morality or immorality of Israeli society, and a host of other topics ...Some time ago, I had the privilege of hosting Rabbi Meir Azari of the Daniel Centers for Progressive Judaism on my podcast here on Israel from the Inside. The occasion for that conversation was the publication in Hebrew, of Rabbi Azari’s newest book, on Jewish leadership in this era. Our conversation, which you’re welcome to listen to in full, was called "From Zion Shall Go Forth Torah" — but of what sort? You’re invited to listen to it here. More recently, Rabbi Azari invited me to join him on his podcast for the Daniel C...2025-07-2107 min

From the aftermath of October 7 to the spiritual and societal resilience of the Jewish people, this is a timely and powerful conversation every Christian should hear. Before they speak with Daniel, CCV Policy Director David Mahan joins Aaron and Mike to run th...2025-07-111h 19
Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"We know that something is broken in Israeli society and Israeli religiosity, but salvation can come in the blink of an eye."I’ve mentioned this a few times in recent months, but beyond hostages (always my primary concern), war and politics, one of the questions that has lodged itself in my mind is that of what I would call “Jewish religiosity with moderation at its heart.” By that I don’t mean this movement or that movement, or this way of Jewish life or that way of Jewish life, this mode of practice or that mode of practice. Rather, the question that I've been thinking about quite a bit is “What would it take for the fundamental pulse of traditional Judaism in...2025-05-2056 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"From Zion Shall Go Forth Torah" — but of what sort?A while back, I saw the opening to a book review in Haaretz with the following question in large black letters:Reform Rabbi Meir Azari: “When Jews go into an Arab Village and burn homes on Shabbat, that’s Judaism?” To a certain ilk of Jews in this country, of course, the answer is “yes.” They won’t quite say that explicitly, but their actions leave no doubt as to what they think. Their rabbis don’t condemn it, while some of those rabbis obviously encourage it. The army does virtually nothing to sto...2025-04-2849 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel GordisWhy everyone who cares about Israel should who know who MK Gilad Kariv isToday’s post is a clip from the Knesset channel of a speech given last week by MK Gilad Kariv, to which we have added subtitles for our readers. Gilad Kariv is currently a member of the Knesset for the Democrats and previously for the Labor Party, in the 25th Knesset. He gave a speech at the Knesset during Hanukkah which, I think, ought to be heard and admired by everyone who cares about Israel’s moral fiber. Before we get to MK Kariv, though, a correction and an apology. Last week...2025-01-0504 min

Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"This isn't your father's Ulpan anymore" ... a quiet revolution in how people are teaching—and learning—HebrewIt’s getting dark here, and I don’t mean because the days are getting shorter. At least in my crowd, the WhatsApp flow is just sad. I was looking for a message earlier today when I found myself staring at an exchange I’d had earlier this morning with a dear friend. Still hadn’t found the message I was looking for, though, and more or less not focusing, came across this one, that I’d not noticed before Yom Kippur. It had been sent to our synagogue community:Hi, friends. I...2024-10-1438 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"Morning has broken" — but we dare not forget the nightMy mom used to tell me that she always remembered where she was when she heard that FDR had died. She was only ten, she would remind us, but she remembered. And she always would. Depending on our age, most of us remember where we were, and maybe whom we were with, when we heard that war had broken out in 1973, or that the World Trade Center had been hit by two planes, or that the Challenger had exploded.

Israel from the Inside with Daniel GordisTo light the torch, or to extinguish? Israeli TV carried two competing, simultaneous Independence Day ceremonies. Why?With the recovery over the weekend of the bodies of four of our hostages, including one who was not known to have been killed, the kidnapped captives are back in the center of Israel’s news. That is obviously what the hostages’ families and many others want, and what they sought to accomplish with the alternate Yom Ha-Atzma’ut ceremony that they ran, a ceremony that national TV ran alongside the traditional, official one. We’ll soon get to the video at the very top of this post, which is a clip from the traditional national Yom Ha-Atzma...2024-05-1904 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"They argue, while we die." Echoes of Peter, Paul & Mary, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger in today's IsraelEven in the brief clip above, taken from a song that has appeared all over Twitter and Facebook in the past day or two (my thanks to Daniel G. for being the first one to bring it to my attention), you get a sense that this isn’t the Israeli music you’ve come to know. It sounds a lot more like Joan Baez or Pete Seeger protesting the Vietnam war. But, obviously, it is as Israeli as Israeli can be. I have often quoted in these posts the insightful observation of my good friend, Yossi Klein Hale...2024-05-0900 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"Believe me, the army doesn't care if your son gets killed."Almost since the war began, people have been writing me to ask, “Is it true that the army is actually not giving the soldiers the equipment they need? We hear of lots of people in the US helping to buy equipment, but we also hear the army reassuring everyone that there’s no shortage. What’s the story here?”Truth was, I didn’t know. Several very serious, strategic philanthropists I know have been raising money, bringing over equipment in dozens of duffle bags, and in some cases, chartering planes to get stuff here.

I sat with Lt. Col. Hecht in his office on an army base in the center of the country yesterday, and had a far reaching conversation with him about the various reasons for Israel’s providing humanitarian aid to Gazans, what America's unprecedented support for Israel, including two carrier groups in the Mediterranean sea, does but also does not mean, the 47 atrocity-movie which ha...2023-11-1338 min

Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"What are the most realistic but pessimistic and optimistic scenarios you can see for the coming year?"Shortly before Rosh Hashanah, my friend and colleague, Rabbi Danny Schiff, invited me to have a Zoom conversation with him, for the leadership of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, about the year that has passed in Israel, and what may lie ahead. Conversations with Danny are always illuminating, so I readily agreed. Towards the end of our conversation, Danny asked me what I thought might be the most “realistic but pessimistic” scenarios for the coming year, but at the same time, also the most “realistic but optimistic” ways things could unfold as well.

Israel from the Inside with Daniel GordisUnlike other Supreme Courts, Israel's highest bench invites foreigners to serve as ClerksOur daughter, our son and our daughter-in-law all clerked at Israel’s Supreme Court at various times over the past decade. We would hear lots of “court talk” in those days—not about specific cases, of course, but the culture of the court and the like. And periodically, one of them would mention a non-Israeli working at the court, a comment that perplexed me but to which I didn’t pay much attention. Turns out, I learned this summer, Israel is the only (to my knowledge, but certainly among a very few) country that invites law studen...2023-09-2136 min

Yet if we are to avoid a similar crisis in the future, it will be critical that we eventually understand how we got where we are, and what were and are the underlying causes of this deep, painful national rift.

The Honest ReportThe True Story Of Zionism, The National Liberation Movement Of The Jewish People: A Fireside Chat With Daniel Gordis, Internationally Renowned Scholar, Author & CommentatorThere are few terms in the English language which have been as widely misunderstood and misrepresented as Zionism. While anti-Israel detractors claim that Zionism is synonymous with racism, settler-colonialism, and oppression, in reality, it refers to the national liberation movement of the Jewish People.
But what exactly does that mean, and in particular, what does Zionism mean for Israel today, a country that gained its independence 75 years ago and despite challenges, is likely as stable and secure as it has ever been?
The success of anti-Israel activists in falsely redefining Zionism has not only contributed...2023-07-1219 min

The state they ultimately made, says Daniel Gordis, is a place of extraordinary success and maddening disappointment, a story of both unprecedented human triumph and great suffering.2023-04-1111h 59

Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"If the judicial review passes in this form, couldn't the Knesset, by a vote of 61, close mosques, Reform synagogues?"This week, we continue our conversation with Professor Moshe Koppel, Chairman of the Kohelet Policy Forum, which has been one of the primary forces shaping the proposed judicial overhaul legislation and pushing for its passage. A number of weeks ago, we hosted Professor Yaniv Roznai of Reichman University, who explained in great detail why he believes that the proposed Judicial Reform will end Israel’s democracy. This week and last are our opportunity to hear the opposing viewpoint. As part of our conversation, I asked Professor Koppel if, were the currently proposed legislation to pass, it would be...2023-03-0826 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"At the end of the day, someone has the power—either the Court or the Knesset. Why do you trust the Court more?" (Part I of II)We have already had the pleasure of hearing Professor Moshe Koppel, the Chairman of the Kohelet Policy Forum, on our podcast about a year and a half ago when he discussed the Nation-State Law, which he helped write. The Kohelet Policy Forum is widely seen—consider Haaretz on the left and JNS on the right—as one of the primary forces advocating the Judicial Reform (or Judicial Revolution depending on who you ask). Most recently, a column by Gil Troy in the Jerusalem Post wonders whether / hopes that Koppel and Kohelet can mastermind a compromise and save the Jewish stat...2023-03-0146 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel Gordis"It's going to get more physically dangerous"About a month ago, I had the privilege of speaking with Rabbi Arik Ascherman, a man so devoted to human rights that he’s prepared to put his safety on the line. Rabbi Ascherman has been assaulted, beaten, attacked by a knife-wielding man, and nearly crashed his car after the wheels had been intentionally unbolted. What is this rabbi doing to be on the receiving end of such brutal hatred? As you will hear, he argues that he is protecting Palestinian farmers and their lands.Though most of the news about Israel concerns judicial reform an...2023-02-2748 min
Israel from the Inside with Daniel GordisAcross the street from the Knesset, there's a building going up that has no fences—intentionallyIt is difficult, in these turbulent times, to focus on almost anything Israel-related that is not somehow connected to the current explosive political situation. But we have to. After all, preserving Israel is not about preserving a Jewish state for its own sake, but because a Jewish state makes certain kinds of Jewish life, certain forms of Jewish richness, possible. If it didn’t do that, it would not matter very much. In Monday’s column, we turned our attention to a notable Israeli annual photography exhibition. Today we turn to a library. “A libr...2023-02-2240 min

The Tikvah PodcastDaniel Gordis and Asael Abelman on the Personality of the New JewBefore the state of Israel was founded, some early Zionists argued not only for the recovery of Jewish political sovereignty, but also for the emergence of a new type of Jew. This “New Jew,” as they called it, would be free of Judaism’s bookish habits and the weight of diaspora Jewish history and be able to take the reigns of the newly independent Jewish polity. Three-quarters of a century after Israel’s founding, what is the state of the New Jew?

With the ascension this year of a new prime minister and a new government in Israel, the time has come to reassess that argument and consider it anew. The American-Israeli writer Daniel Gordis disagrees with this idea, that Israel's actions determined American Jewish attitudes. To him, the growing divide between Israeli and American Jews is decidedly not about what Israel does. It is, rather, abo...2021-07-1545 min

The Jewish State must end, say its enemies, from intellectuals like Tony Judt to hate-filled demagogues like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Even average Israelis are wondering if they wouldn't be better off somewhere else. A country which once restored hope to Jews world-over now feels itself slipping.
