In this episode of the
18Forty Podcast, we talk to Michael Eisenberg—a venture capitalist and Torah scholar—about the state of the Jewish People in Israel and the diaspora.
In this episode we discuss:
—What lies ahead for the Jewish People amid the war with Iran?
—What can Israel and America teach one another about Jewish innovation?
—What should be the religious vision for “secular” Jews in Israel?
Tune in to hear a conversation about where we hope to go together, and how we can get there.
Interview begins at 6:13.
