This week on the Jewish Review of Books Podcast, we spoke to Neta Stahl, professor of modern Hebrew literature at Johns Hopkins University, and the writer of the article “A Kibbutz and Its Fullness” for our recent issue.
Neta grew up on Kibbutz Kfar Aza, and reflects on her memories of the kibbutz as it was. She explores the influences of S.Y. Agnon, and the future of her home.

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and the Halakhot of Hostages: Part III
When Israeli citizens were taken hostage in Entebbe in 1976, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef was asked if hostages could be exchanged for terrorists. What can his towering responsum teach us about the current moment?
Bling and Beauty: Jerusalem at the Met
