Research into religious Zionism with Yair Ettinger

Mijal and Noam immerse themselves in the complexity of religious Zionism in Israel with the renowned journalist Yair Ettinger. They research the historical roots of the movement, from the pragmatic vision of Rabbi -Reine to the Messianic approach of Rabbi Kook and discuss how these ideologies have contributed to forming modern Israeli society. They ask difficult questions, including why numbers like Meir Kahane appear in the popular discourse. With the rise of hard religious Zionist factions, Mijal and Noam deal with what religious Zionism means today, its diversity and role in security, politics and peace efforts by Israel.
