On Pain, Sorrow, and Compassion (Z3 Podcast Ep. 10: Prof. Yuli Tamir)

In the latest Z3 podcast episode Rabbi Amitai Fraiman, our host and head of Z3, is joined by Professor Yuli Tamir, the President of Beit-Berl Teachers' Training College and an adjunct professor at the Blavatnik School of Government Oxford. Israel was already in a state of commotion when the October 7th massacre occurred. There had been 39 weeks of demonstrations about the democratic reform occurring in Israel, and Amitai and Yuli discuss the public’s reaction to the crisis and how the demonstrations changed. How did Arabs in Israel respond to the massacre, and what tensions do they now feel during the war in Gaza where they feel pulled in different directions? And how can Jews and Arabs both pursue the right to self-determination? All this and more in this episode.
