Ep 33: Joseph Cohen: Zionism's Angel of the North

Jonny Gould's Jewish State - A podcast by Jonny Gould

The Ethics of the Fathers says, “the more schooling, the more wisdom, the more counsel, the more understanding and the more charity, the more peace”. We read a chapter (in Hebrew, the Pirkei Avos) each Shabbat directly after Passover until the Shabbat before New Year. There’s no one who embodies the spirit of enlightenment and learning more than Joseph Cohen. Joseph’s Israel Advocacy Movement is helping to change perceptions of Israel and Judaism amid a rising tide of antisemitism and antizionism. His YouTube and Facebook videos have been viewed millions of times and even retweeted by President Trump. As you'll hear, Joseph's background provides a deep understanding of working class England and his appreciation of the religious similarities between Islam and Judaism give his outreach work increased authenticity. In the spirit of Joseph's bridge-building, please share far and wide. Thank you for your continued support of my work.
