In the wake of October 7th, Samantha Ettus—5 times best selling author, Harvard MBA, and professional speaker—found herself in the unexpected position of becoming a Jewish activist, or as she calls it, an accidental activist. While previously recognized for her insights on the future of work she refocused all of her endeavors to combat antisemitism and mobilize the Jewish community. We are happy she is in our circle.

She says that antisemites have made her more Jewish. But she wasn't satisfied with just being anti-antisemite. Mairi wanted more.

Rabbi Leo Dee has endured what no man should. He lost his wife and two daughters in a terrorist attack in April of 2023. But this tragedy, which could've easily brought any of us to our knees, has brought out even finer qualities in an already special individual. He's one of our most insightful guests and he doesn't want others to wait for something painful to bring out the pain in them.

We finally decided to bring the man behind the organization that will free all Jews from their oppressors. We're talking of course about the Mossad. More specifically, the Mossad's fake X account hilariously run by Shwn Eni. We want to tell you more but we'd have to kill you. The best thing to do is tune in and see how the Mossad's parody can help us fight Antisemitsm. But don't tell anyone. #mossad #jewish #antisemitism #unity What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best defined by their troubles?

Seth Menachem is going to be the second psychotherapist we've had on and we have some good feelings about him because in his practice he says that "I work to help you understand your history so we can discover how it is influencing the ways in which you currently operate in the world" - which is exactly what we do with Jews and antisemitism. He's also Fred Menachem's little brother so it's promising to be a fun ride. Join us. What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best defined by their troubles?

Seth and I go a long way back with Joseph. I worked on a documentary from 2012 with him and Seth is co-hosting The Great Transition with him. In both instances, his brilliant mind, his clarity of articulation and creative vision, shine through everything he does. We invited him to talk about the state of Israel, of Israelis, and of Jewish unity. He took time from his duty as a medic reservist to be with us here. Don't miss it.
