Israeli Trailblazers Show
Every episode, you'll meet a stranger who changed your life — you just never knew their name. By the end, you'll be amazed by what they made possible. Twist: they're all from one country the size of New Jersey. The one the world can't stop arguing about. Israel. So stop arguing for one second. Just look at what they built.
Wildfires stopped before the trucks leave the garage. Cancer caught in five minutes, from your couch. A seizure predicted hours before you feel it coming.
All Israeli. All overlooked. Elon Musk called Israel #1 in the world for innovation per capita. So why doesn't anyone know these names? Host Jennifer Weissmann is here to fix that.

What Happens When a Leader Refuses To Pretend — A Mayor's Unfiltered Playbook
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In cities across America Jewish residents are making quiet calculations they did not make five years ago. Whether to wear a Star of David outside their clothing. Whether to put a mezuzah on a visible doorpost. Whether to speak Hebrew in public. Whether to let their children wear anything that identifies them as Jewish at school.
The rise in antisemitic incidents since October 7 has been documented and significant. For many Jewish Americans the question of how openly to live their identity has become a daily consideration in ways that feel genuinely new.
Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner made a different calculation. His city would be loudly and specifically supportive of its Jewish residents. Legislation. Community programs. Public statements that left no ambiguity about where the city stood.
This conversation is about what that decision looks like in practice and what other cities might learn from it.
