Speaker 2 (04:48):
You're listening to talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
Jewish broadcast on the air since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
And now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
And we're back to Israel. We go with us right now.
Is Lehi Lapie. She's a best selling Israeli author, photo journalist, columnist, activists.
She's written cookbooks and children's books since she's written the
three novels. Her latest one is called On her Own
and is published in the United It's actually published by
an American publisher, by HarperCollins, and the first time that
(05:20):
she's book is appearing in the United States. So welcome
to the program. Thank you for joining us, thank you
for inviting me, and I might as she's also the
wife of former Prime Minister Yar Lapid, who's leader of
Israel's opposition Yayatid. So we appreciate you being here with us.
You wrote your book before October seventh, but it came
out in English after October seventh. So I'm curious to
(05:41):
know where you were able to get speaking engagements in bookstores?
Are the publishers promoting your book, because after October seven,
we're finding Jewish authors are having a hard time. You're
Jewish Israeli, your husband is the prime minister of former
prime minister of Israel. So I want to know what
it's been like for you.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Actually, it was hard. It was hard from two sides.
One was that there was war. There is war here
in Israel now, so living here was really something that
I was thinking whether I should do or not a
(06:19):
time like that. But I did take a week to
go to New York to do a book launch. But
we found out it was very surprising because we didn't
realize that that's what's happening.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
But no bookstore wanted to do a book launch.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Everybody said like, we don't have time or something like that,
and we're talking about, you know, signing books in a bookstore,
and it's.
Speaker 9 (06:49):
Not so complicated.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
We just wanted an hour, and then in Little Manhattan
we couldn't find I think I think slowly we realized
and at the end even we were told that that
it's it's probably the fact that no one wants demonstrations
(07:11):
and riots outside their books quiet store.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But the publishers didn't tell you that. The publishers told
you that all kinds of other fact. They didn't say,
you got they're afraid correct.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
What they said is that they approached a lot of
stores and each one said, oh, I'm sorry, it's not
comfortable for me at that time, and they said we
have a week, just say an hour or something, and slowly,
and then I told them, listen, I think, I think
(07:46):
you don't understand.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
It's it's it's because I'm three things.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
I'm Jewish, I'm Israeli, and I'm.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
My husband is in Israeli politics.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
So yeah, So I asked people and they said I
asked other authors that I know from the Jewish world,
and they told me that it's probably that.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It is that in fact, they're boycotting Jewish authors. I
know in England they won't publish some Jewish authors because
they're Jewish. United States is not much better. So there
is a problem of anti Semitism. Have you that affected
the sale of your books so far in the United States?
In your opinion, I.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Think so I don't know the numbers. So I'm and
I'm like, I'm doing whatever I can in the Jewish community.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
I just decided that I'll.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Try the Jewish community, the people that are still listening
and still talking among ourselves. But I definitely think that,
you know, I had this dream that the book will
be in stores and no one will care that it's
Israeli and maybe they will love Israel or something and
(09:00):
want to read about it.
Speaker 9 (09:01):
But and it's also a very Israeli book, so.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It's not even a book about politics. It's more about relationships.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Yeah, it's a novel. It's a novel. It's a family.
It's about family. One of the most important things in
the book or I don't know. The center of the
book is a guy that lives in America and he's
an Israeli and his mother stayed here. He's her only
child after her his brother died in the war thirty
(09:33):
years ago, many many years ago.
Speaker 9 (09:35):
I think what.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
I am happy that the book is published now in
America is that when people read it, they realize what
it is for us Israel is a soldier, because I
think in other countries a soldier is a guy that
wanted to fight, and his dream was to be a fighter.
(10:00):
And in Israel, it's just someone that finishes high school
and you have to go to the army. That that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And you went to the army to in fact, you
met your husband. Yeah, you're lookeated in the army. Correct.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I was a newspaper photo photographer in the in the
I d F newspaper and so I was I photographed
all over the army. It was it was amazing and
I was the second woman ever in the job. So
(10:32):
so it was also something I never thought about it,
but it was super cool.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So you were a trail blazers. Let me ask you
this question. Did you ever consider going into politics?
Speaker 9 (10:43):
No, No, I don't think.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
I'm I'm not tough enough. I think, and you know,
you have to to suffer insults and bad things being
told about you, and I'm like, it's it's even difficult
for me to be an Ear's wife at that sense.
(11:06):
Like I'm once every few weeks I find myself really
fighting with someone saying you don't understand, and so so
I'm like, I care. I care too much. I do
think that the politician needs to care. I see an
(11:28):
Ear that he cares. He cares very much, and I
think the moment you don't care at all, you need
to leave politics.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So let me ask this question. You're getting the insults anyway.
Your husband is controversial. You know, he's a kid. Some
people like the party, some people don't. You have problems
with the worth of ex community. So you're getting the
insults anyway. So why not go full turkey and run
for office yourself.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
I donated my husband to that, to that. I think
he's doing such an important job. And to be opposition
today in Israel, it's a complicated thing a time of war.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
To be with the soldiers and with them helping.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Helping the country at war, it's super important, but also
to remember the things that we don't agree that are
happening and to talk about the things that needs to
be different.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
And it's also very important.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Now we after October seventh. There was a tremendous unity
in Israel. Before October seventh, division, fighting the Supreme Court,
all these issues came to fore. Are we seeing a
frame of that unity in Israel today?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
I think no. I think there are not a lot
of unity now. Because first of all, you are right
at the beginning it was amazing, and it was amazing,
it was heartwarming, it was unbelievable, and it gave so
much strength. And this in a way still continues because
(13:13):
I think the Israeli army is outside of the fight.
The fight is about to do or not to do
a deal.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
How the deal needs to look like? And the day after?
Speaker 8 (13:28):
What is the day after?
Speaker 9 (13:29):
What are we going to do at the day after
the war?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
So some of you know, yesterday I went to the hospital,
to Shiva Hospital to help with There's a guy that
gives the computers to wounded soldiers and I saw eighteen
twenty years old guys with no arm, with no leg.
(13:59):
You know, breaks your heart, It breaks your heart. Some
of them are succeeding in smiling. You see the worried mothers,
and it's heartbreaking. So in that sense, we have to
be together and we have to hold hands and we
have to stick for to be one day the day after.
(14:23):
For it's a horrible price. It's a horrible price we're paying.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It's heart branching. You see the soldiers without limbs and
they still want to fight, They still have that spirit.
It's just wonderful how they have that love for Israel
for love for the country. But it's heartbreaking to see
them in the hospitals and the wounded and again, and
you see the whole world is ganged up upon Israel.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Yeah, it's so sad because we were attacked. We were
attacked in a way, you know, And I'm thinking about it.
No one was angry with America after nine eleven when
they wanted to find the guilty people and punish them.
And I can't understand how come we were hurt so much?
(15:10):
And how come people are angry with us people from
other countries.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
You know what, I'll tell you another thing.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
People we have Yeah, and me our daughter is twenty
seven and she's and she's autistic, and.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
You know, I see her and her friends.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Sitting in a safe room, gathered together, fearing from what's
happening from the noise outside, not knowing. How can you
explain to them what is happening and why is someone
wants to kill them? It's like crazy, it's crazy. There's
a friend of mine, she's told me she's from Aza
(15:56):
Gaza village and she's she told me how she sits
for thirty hours hugging her autistic daughter that just want
to go out of the shelter and open the light
and have her iPad. So it's crazy and the fact
that they are not mercying us, and it's really devastating.
(16:21):
And I'll tell you another thing I was expected. I
expected from the women organization to help us with the
women in captivity. There are young women, we know how
dangerous it is for them to be there. Where is
(16:41):
the you and women organization? Where is the organizations of women?
I remember when Malala was the Afghanic girl was shots
because she wanted to go to school.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
We were all for her. We didn't care if.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
She's Muslim or Jewish or Christian. How come they are
not there for those women. So yeah, a lot of
hypocrisy I saw.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Well the United Nations. I don't know if you're word.
There's an exhibit right now about terrorism. Not a word
about Israeli victims of terrorism. Not a single photo. There's
one of a Palestinian girl who actually was not even
in the area, in a different country. Even they had
a poster of her, but not a single victim of
visual This is at the United Nations, the height of
hic apostrophy. It's just terrible, terrible, how the world Views.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
It there are so many good people Jewish An Israelis
that are trying to help and trying to raise the
voice of really listening to what's happening here, and it's
heartbreaking that the UN is doing such an exhibition and
(17:53):
nothing about what we are going through here.
Speaker 3 (17:57):

Speaker 8 (22:54):
Now here's your Hostley.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Lot Peter's are She's a best selling author in Israel, photojournalist, columnist, activists.
She has a finger on the pulse of contemporary women's
issues issues in Israel. Her latest novel, The Third Novel,
has been translated into English by Harper via division Harper
and Collins. Is called on her own Lei The Have
How Has October seventh, changed you and your family and
(23:20):
your husband who's the prime former prime minister of Israel. I.
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Think it changed every Israeli that is here.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
You know, Usually people ask me when they hear something
in the news about Israel, and I'm telling them, listen, it's.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Not so bad.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Everything is okay, will be okay. This time it is bad.
And we found out that we are more fragile than
we thought we are, and it's and the whole Israeli
security and being very I don't know, proud of ourselves.
(24:04):
Suddenly we are a little bit more afraid, more worried.
And so I think this changed and got into each
one of us under the skin. This is one thing
and the second I think, wow, I think we have
(24:25):
a fight, a huge fighter.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Now where are we going from now?
Speaker 8 (24:32):
How is Israeli needs to look at the the next
ten years. What are we planning on doing, How can
we keep it safe? How can we keep it and
you know what can we make it happy again? Because
now it's super sad, and how we'll get to the
point that it's happy. You know, it's being in Israel
(24:56):
is all the time thinking am I willing? Is it worthwhile?
Speaker 9 (25:02):
The price that we are paying for living here.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
And now there's a lot of us that are really
united in even because of what you said, because we
see the anti Semitism outside. So we say we have
to keep Israel, we have to keep Israel strong, and
it's important for the whole Jewish people.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
So we are fighting for that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
And well you find for every single Jew. And by
the way, you know, if God forbid, there wondn't be
a state of Israel. Jews be even more danger because
let's look at the facts. October seventh day of most
Jews killed since the Holocaust. But the next day Israel
gets back and retaliates and fights, and God willing will
be vindicated, will win at the end of the day.
(25:49):
Just unfortunately taking too long. We got to get the
hostages home, we got to get rid of Hamas, but
they're always going to be Hasbola Iran. You have these
groups that want to hurt and destroy is but thank
God is real, we're strong, and their strength is in
the unity. If we can keep that unity going, that's
the most important thing in my opinion and other people's opinion.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
And the difference between what we went through the Holocaust
and now is that the day after Israel was there.
Instrael was there with her airplanes and with the with
the soldiers, so it didn't continue until the end. So yes,
(26:29):
so it's very important to keep Israel strong. But it's
also important to think, how can how can we make
it happy again?
Speaker 9 (26:41):
How can we make it safe one day?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Because because also coming and telling ourselves that we'll always
live at wars, between one war and another, there should
be one day a good ending.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
For the store.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
There will be a good ending. As a writer, I
know you can write a happy ending in the book,
but in.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
Real living happily ever after in Israel.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Well, listen before October seventh, I don't know what the
survey is. They said Israel is one of the happiest
places in the world to live. I forgot what the
number was. If it was high up there.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
When you pay a huge price about something, you appreciate
it more like when we are sick or we have
someone that is sick with only then we think how
happy it is to be healthy.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
So also in Israel, and we have to.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Keep it to keep life here worthwhile, and it should
be good.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
No, it's important. So let me ask you this question.
One of the issues that's come up recently. Of course,
is aradium in the army creatim in society. So how
do you deal with I know that there's a perception
that your husband was not sympathetic to thet I spoke
to about Dove Lippen. He told me otherwise. So from
your perspective, and unity is so important, how do we
(28:07):
work together all of us religious, secular, right wing, left
wing in Israel so we don't tear the country apart
once peace comes.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
You know, it's like in a family when you have
brothers and sisters. You can't that just one kid will
do the dishes always and the rest will sit and eat. Okay,
everyone needs to give their hand and help, and each
one needs to do something. And the already community can't
(28:38):
anymore not go to the army. There are a lot
of things that they can do that can help other
soldiers go to combat. They can you know, there's there's
a profession of that. Usually women are doing it. It's
called that spit aniot, which is that they look from
(29:00):
far away on the computer. Yeah, so they can do it,
no problem, and they can do it. They can do
so many things, But the more important thing is the
moral thing. Again, I'm coming back after being yesterday in
the hospital, seeing young kids without a leg, without a hand.
(29:23):
You can't live in Israel and say this is the
obligation of someone else. My kids won't go and those
kids will go. Believe me, when my son went to
the army and he went to the tanks, and and
I have him, and I have another daughter, which she's
(29:45):
statistic and everything, and it was I didn't.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Sleep for three years. I was worried like crazy.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
If something will happen to him, I wouldn't forgive myself.
So how come I need to do it and someone
else it's okay that he doesn't. So that's it's like,
I don't know. Would you say in America someone needs
to pay taxes and the rest won't. It's it's crazy.
(30:13):
So that's the tax that we pay, but it's in
blood and each one needs to give his hand. And
you know what, if they would come and say, we
really want, let's think of how we can do it.
But they're demonstrating people now Orthodoxy Jews in Israel demonstrating
(30:36):
will die and we won't go to the army.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
When when when.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Our kids are dying because they went to the army.
So so it's it's not anymore.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
It's not just intellectual discussion.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
So I might add, and I've seen those demonstrations, and
you've seen them in Israel. But Ellie Paley, who's the
founder of the publisher of Mishpacha, which is one of
the largest Haadi public public publications in Israel, he said
on this program, and he said he's working on a
proposal with Jewish organizations where Haadi individuals at the age
of twenty five should do homeland security and other issues.
(31:15):
I like the idea. There has to be some way
of working things out. And there are a lot.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
Of Listen, there are a lot of religious young women
that they do the teaching schools, they help with people
with disabilities. You know, they need to come with an
open heart to do something, to say we are coming
for two or three years and we are doing something
(31:42):
in their community, in our community. There are so many
things they can do, and it's just morally wrong to
say everybody else go to the army protect us.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I think it's changing. You have knakkaradi, you have moved,
and I think it can't be legislative, but has been negotiated,
not just from my perspective here.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
There are a lot of ready soldiers doing the army,
doing such wonderful things. We saw them in the in
the war. Yes, and when they come home sometimes they
need to take off their uniforms because people are saying
bad things about them.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I think that's changed somewhat during the war. I think
that's changed people respect more. In fact, there's a video
that I think I saw where you had, you know,
a Paradi car pulled up with little kids with payout
and they go to the soldiers and they bring a
bag and here's the snacks, we say for you. You
see pictures like that and videos like it exists out there.
(32:47):
We just have to build on it.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are right.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
I think what happened to us that this war made
they realized that it's not just something we're talking about.
It's not just a political thing. It's really life here.
It's really the life of everybody here. So something changed.
(33:13):
And I hope, I hope and I wish that there
will be negotiation and there will be a solution that
will solve it for once and for all.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I agree with you totally. Our guest is Lehi Lampitt,

Speaker 2 (38:32):
You're listening to Talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
Jewish broadcast on the air since nineteen eighty one, And
now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Our guest is Lehi Lampet. He fascinating book, her third
novel on her own, is published in English, first time
in English, and it's by Harper via Division Harper Collin.
She is a photojournalist. She's also the wife of Formersraeli
Prime Minister Yarlpitt, head of the Asha Tid Centrist party
in is you know one of the things that impressed
(39:02):
me by the way recently is I see a lot
of Jews in America and around the world have said
I want to help, and they've been providing army. They've
providing gear for the Israeli Army, boots, night goggles, drones.
How do you feel about it? And one, I love
the fact that American Jews and others are helping. On
the other hand, I find it embarrassing the Israeli Army
(39:24):
was so ill prepared.
Speaker 8 (39:26):
Yeah, the fact that they needed to send things for
the army is really embarrassing. But I do think that
it was the first time that we Israelis, we were
really moved by how much they wanted.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
To help, and all the missions and all the.
Speaker 8 (39:47):
Things that people sent from America and from Jews all
over the world. So it was it was the first
time that I so gratitude, real gratitude of Israelis, and
I saw that more Israel's Israelis are more thankful and
(40:07):
appreciate the fact that we have Jews around the world.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Fighting for us, helping us.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Each video that we saw of someone talking on Columbia
University for Israel, we shared and so suddenly Israeli Is
we're looking to see what the Jewish world is saying
about us, and each thing of support was really appreciated.
(40:39):
So in a way, it was nice to see at
this war, we saw the diaspora in Israel.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Together.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
It didn't happen for so many years like that, so
strong and so important for us and for you guys.
So it was really touching.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
One young man, Daniel, he's a businessman and he was
on this program. He raised over ten million dollars by
himself to provide gear for the Israeli Army. One individual.
He raised over ten million dollars. He was in business.
I know other people that gave up occupation to get
boots and other equipment for Israel. Just amazing to see
(41:21):
how people resourceful. They are. Again, they're not fun to raise,
but they raised and they actually gave the money to Israel,
which I'm very impressed by by that. Here's the issue,
and I know your husband is not Prime minister right now,
but the big issue is and I don't have an
answer for it, and I don't envy the Prime Minister
of isral whoever the prime minister is. Is On the one hand,
you want to bring hostages home, but you release terrorists
(41:44):
that are dangerous. They're going to kill Jews another day.
Sinhwar was freed in the Galic ch Elite swap deal.
He was they were warned that he should nation let
him go. He's dangerous. And look how dangerous he is.
You have people blood in their hands. So on the
one hand, you want to get the hostages. On the
other hands, you reala is terrorist that you know, we're
just going to wait for another day to kill us again.
(42:04):
I don't know how you balance it out.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
You're not going to complicate it complicate me in politics,
but I will say something that I have to say
about it. We have young women being in captivity with terrorists.
We need to bring them back.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Home, no matter the price.
Speaker 9 (42:28):
I'm not saying no matter what the price, but the
price now.
Speaker 8 (42:31):
Is like with tiny details for here and for there.
It's not the huge gap that was at the beginning
that we couldn't think of what they asked. It's different now.
The gaps are small, and I think Israel is strong
enough and smart enough to decide later what are we
(42:56):
doing doing And the fact that we made mistakes once
doesn't mean we have to make the same mistakes again.
So I'm saying, we can save people's life now, and
they are dying by the day, and it's like, we
don't have we don't have another day, we don't have
(43:17):
another week. That's the time to do the deal, and
then we need to think what we're doing next.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
No, it's listen. I understand the parents, and I understand
the need that these not only the young women but
the men are being tortured and brutalized by these terroristies.
Are not human beings. These are just terrible, the worst
of the worst that we have. But the problem is,
and again maybe you just get them out now and
(43:46):
worry about it down the road, but you know there's
going to be a problem down the road where The's
are going to free these terrorists because some of them
that they're demanding are those with blood on their hands
that will kill Jews. Again, there's no question about that.
But it's a tough issue. Again, I don't have a
solution for it, and it's.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
A tough issue. But you know, I'll tell you what.
We know that among us there will be a lot
of people that will get into their car and will
die one day in a car accident. It will happen.
Speaker 9 (44:16):
It happens.
Speaker 8 (44:18):
But if we can save one person that now we
know that I don't know that we can save him.
Maybe it's not a good example. Those people are alive,
not a lot of them, and we need to bring
them back home now. And I believe Israel is a
(44:40):
strong country, clever and smart, and she will know how
to deal with it down the road and not to
make mistakes anymore. Like that.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
I find our conversation fast and just a few moments
left our scaris to get your reaction. I know that
your book is having trouble. Any Israeli or any Jewish
authors having problems, bookstores don't want to feature them. Publishers
don't want to publish works of Jewish authors because of
the climate. And unfortunately, while we spoke about American Jews
(45:13):
who've really bonded in helping Israel, there are a bunch
of American Jews that are very woke that are anti Israel.
We did a show about a workshop before the past
over holiday with parents who love Israel had to go
to a workshop how to deal with kids who come
back from college hating Israel. How do you spend the
pastover state it together? You have this wokeness you have
(45:33):
groups that don't know much about Israel that are demonstrating
against Israel too. I don't know how we reached out
to them, but these are people of our family that
are so misguided, have such a war perception of Israel
that and this is true of the non religious world.
The religion. I think it's so important. I think in
(45:54):
Israel you see probably more religion, more belief in God
after October seventh than beforehand. People have been turning. In
the United States, we have these walk kids. I don't
know how we deal with them, but how do we
get them back?
Speaker 8 (46:04):
You know, it's something that we don't have it here
because whoever lives here or you know what, I'll tell
you what, whoever is visited here in Israel and felt
what's happening here and the energy I'm talking before seventh
of October, they realize how fragile Israel is and how
(46:27):
you need to keep it. I'm a writer, so I'm
using images. I think what happened is that for us,
for you? For me? We think when we think of
Israel usually we think of stories in our life. We
think of stories, and when we look at Israel, we
think the David and Goliath story. We think we see
(46:49):
Israel as David, the small, the smart, and I think
a lot of people in the world are mistaken and
thinking that we are Goliath, that we are the bed
and the big and and we need to tell the
story differently, and people need to understand that the state.
Speaker 9 (47:14):
Of Israel is David is There are the good ones,
that are the small ones.
Speaker 8 (47:19):
They are the ones that are that we need to
watch out for to keep them so.
Speaker 9 (47:26):
So I think they are we are losing in the media. Yeah, well, the.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
Media has been very biased and the college campuses are woke.
I spoke. I don't know if you're aware, but a
lot of Evangelical Christians were supportive of Israel. Their children
are pro Palestinian. And I guess one of the pastors,
why are so many young Evangelical Christians not supportive of
Israel pro Palestinian? You know what he told me, Because
they go to these colleges where they get indoctrinated with
(47:53):
this anti Israel hatred. This is what the pastor told me.
Just like Jews have been effected, Evangelical Christians being affected
by it too. It's unfortunate and we have to do
something about these colleges, and we have to also make
sure that every kid has a better Jewish education. I'm
a big proponent of Jewish education. They are in Israel.
You live in the country, you absorb, you know when
(48:14):
the holidays are. But you ask how many people know
where some of the Jewish holidays are? Like sueh, they
will tell you what is it? So it's a problem
we have in America today and the Western world.
Speaker 8 (48:26):
I'm thinking, I don't know if I'm thinking about birthright.
Speaker 9 (48:31):
This amazing program, amazing program.
Speaker 8 (48:34):
Program I know Michael Steinhart and like really it's it's
it's an amazing program. And I think that's maybe the solution.
Send your kids for a week in Israel to know
that they will go back to the colleges and they
will speak for Israel.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
And they're doing that. Friend Angelical Christians to a birthright
for evangelical Christians. That also helpful.
Speaker 9 (48:57):
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
I think they started already. I'm F'm not mistaken. I
have to check into that, but but we need more
and more of that, more association with more Jewish education.
I want to thank you for joining me. What's your
next book going to be about?
Speaker 8 (49:13):
Wow? Now we're doing a TV series from that. So
so I'm studying a new profession. After being a photographer writer,
now I'm a screen writer and I'm trying to figure
it out.
Speaker 9 (49:26):
I hope it will be soon.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
An actress too.
Speaker 8 (49:29):
I'll tell you what, No, I can't write while there's
a war here, like you can't. I'm outside. I'm most
of my time. I'm on the street demonstrating for bringing
back the hostages. So that's that's where my heart is.
That's what I do now. I can't write about anything
(49:51):
besides the situation and the hostages.
Speaker 3 (49:55):
So if your husband will be Prime Minister today, will
he be bringing making a deal to bring back the hospital. Yeah.

around the corner, but they can't come fast enough.

Jewish broadcast on the air since nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
And now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
And we're back to Israel. We go with us right now.
Is Lehi Lapie. She's a best selling Israeli author, photo journalist, columnist, activists.
She's written cookbooks and children's books since she's written the
three novels. Her latest one is called On her Own
and is published in the United It's actually published by
an American publisher, by HarperCollins, and the first time that
(05:20):
she's book is appearing in the United States. So welcome
to the program. Thank you for joining us, thank you
for inviting me, and I might as she's also the
wife of former Prime Minister Yar Lapid, who's leader of
Israel's opposition Yayatid. So we appreciate you being here with us.
You wrote your book before October seventh, but it came
out in English after October seventh. So I'm curious to
(05:41):
know where you were able to get speaking engagements in bookstores?
Are the publishers promoting your book, because after October seven,
we're finding Jewish authors are having a hard time. You're
Jewish Israeli, your husband is the prime minister of former
prime minister of Israel. So I want to know what
it's been like for you.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Actually, it was hard. It was hard from two sides.
One was that there was war. There is war here
in Israel now, so living here was really something that
I was thinking whether I should do or not a
(06:19):
time like that. But I did take a week to
go to New York to do a book launch. But
we found out it was very surprising because we didn't
realize that that's what's happening.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
But no bookstore wanted to do a book launch.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Everybody said like, we don't have time or something like that,
and we're talking about, you know, signing books in a bookstore,
and it's.
Speaker 9 (06:49):
Not so complicated.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
We just wanted an hour, and then in Little Manhattan
we couldn't find I think I think slowly we realized
and at the end even we were told that that
it's it's probably the fact that no one wants demonstrations
(07:11):
and riots outside their books quiet store.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But the publishers didn't tell you that. The publishers told
you that all kinds of other fact. They didn't say,
you got they're afraid correct.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
What they said is that they approached a lot of
stores and each one said, oh, I'm sorry, it's not
comfortable for me at that time, and they said we
have a week, just say an hour or something, and slowly,
and then I told them, listen, I think, I think
(07:46):
you don't understand.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
It's it's it's because I'm three things.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
I'm Jewish, I'm Israeli, and I'm.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
My husband is in Israeli politics.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
So yeah, So I asked people and they said I
asked other authors that I know from the Jewish world,
and they told me that it's probably that.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It is that in fact, they're boycotting Jewish authors. I
know in England they won't publish some Jewish authors because
they're Jewish. United States is not much better. So there
is a problem of anti Semitism. Have you that affected
the sale of your books so far in the United States?
In your opinion, I.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Think so I don't know the numbers. So I'm and
I'm like, I'm doing whatever I can in the Jewish community.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
I just decided that I'll.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Try the Jewish community, the people that are still listening
and still talking among ourselves. But I definitely think that,
you know, I had this dream that the book will
be in stores and no one will care that it's
Israeli and maybe they will love Israel or something and
(09:00):
want to read about it.
Speaker 9 (09:01):
But and it's also a very Israeli book, so.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It's not even a book about politics. It's more about relationships.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Yeah, it's a novel. It's a novel. It's a family.
It's about family. One of the most important things in
the book or I don't know. The center of the
book is a guy that lives in America and he's
an Israeli and his mother stayed here. He's her only
child after her his brother died in the war thirty
(09:33):
years ago, many many years ago.
Speaker 9 (09:35):
I think what.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
I am happy that the book is published now in
America is that when people read it, they realize what
it is for us Israel is a soldier, because I
think in other countries a soldier is a guy that
wanted to fight, and his dream was to be a fighter.
(10:00):
And in Israel, it's just someone that finishes high school
and you have to go to the army. That that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And you went to the army to in fact, you
met your husband. Yeah, you're lookeated in the army. Correct.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
I was a newspaper photo photographer in the in the
I d F newspaper and so I was I photographed
all over the army. It was it was amazing and
I was the second woman ever in the job. So
(10:32):
so it was also something I never thought about it,
but it was super cool.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So you were a trail blazers. Let me ask you
this question. Did you ever consider going into politics?
Speaker 9 (10:43):
No, No, I don't think.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
I'm I'm not tough enough. I think, and you know,
you have to to suffer insults and bad things being
told about you, and I'm like, it's it's even difficult
for me to be an Ear's wife at that sense.
(11:06):
Like I'm once every few weeks I find myself really
fighting with someone saying you don't understand, and so so
I'm like, I care. I care too much. I do
think that the politician needs to care. I see an
(11:28):
Ear that he cares. He cares very much, and I
think the moment you don't care at all, you need
to leave politics.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So let me ask this question. You're getting the insults anyway.
Your husband is controversial. You know, he's a kid. Some
people like the party, some people don't. You have problems
with the worth of ex community. So you're getting the
insults anyway. So why not go full turkey and run
for office yourself.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
I donated my husband to that, to that. I think
he's doing such an important job. And to be opposition
today in Israel, it's a complicated thing a time of war.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
To be with the soldiers and with them helping.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Helping the country at war, it's super important, but also
to remember the things that we don't agree that are
happening and to talk about the things that needs to
be different.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
And it's also very important.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Now we after October seventh. There was a tremendous unity
in Israel. Before October seventh, division, fighting the Supreme Court,
all these issues came to fore. Are we seeing a
frame of that unity in Israel today?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
I think no. I think there are not a lot
of unity now. Because first of all, you are right
at the beginning it was amazing, and it was amazing,
it was heartwarming, it was unbelievable, and it gave so
much strength. And this in a way still continues because
(13:13):
I think the Israeli army is outside of the fight.
The fight is about to do or not to do
a deal.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
How the deal needs to look like? And the day after?
Speaker 8 (13:28):
What is the day after?
Speaker 9 (13:29):
What are we going to do at the day after
the war?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
So some of you know, yesterday I went to the hospital,
to Shiva Hospital to help with There's a guy that
gives the computers to wounded soldiers and I saw eighteen
twenty years old guys with no arm, with no leg.
(13:59):
You know, breaks your heart, It breaks your heart. Some
of them are succeeding in smiling. You see the worried mothers,
and it's heartbreaking. So in that sense, we have to
be together and we have to hold hands and we
have to stick for to be one day the day after.
(14:23):
For it's a horrible price. It's a horrible price we're paying.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It's heart branching. You see the soldiers without limbs and
they still want to fight, They still have that spirit.
It's just wonderful how they have that love for Israel
for love for the country. But it's heartbreaking to see
them in the hospitals and the wounded and again, and
you see the whole world is ganged up upon Israel.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Yeah, it's so sad because we were attacked. We were
attacked in a way, you know, And I'm thinking about it.
No one was angry with America after nine eleven when
they wanted to find the guilty people and punish them.
And I can't understand how come we were hurt so much?
(15:10):
And how come people are angry with us people from
other countries.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
You know what, I'll tell you another thing.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
People we have Yeah, and me our daughter is twenty
seven and she's and she's autistic, and.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
You know, I see her and her friends.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Sitting in a safe room, gathered together, fearing from what's
happening from the noise outside, not knowing. How can you
explain to them what is happening and why is someone
wants to kill them? It's like crazy, it's crazy. There's
a friend of mine, she's told me she's from Aza
(15:56):
Gaza village and she's she told me how she sits
for thirty hours hugging her autistic daughter that just want
to go out of the shelter and open the light
and have her iPad. So it's crazy and the fact
that they are not mercying us, and it's really devastating.
(16:21):
And I'll tell you another thing I was expected. I
expected from the women organization to help us with the
women in captivity. There are young women, we know how
dangerous it is for them to be there. Where is
(16:41):
the you and women organization? Where is the organizations of women?
I remember when Malala was the Afghanic girl was shots
because she wanted to go to school.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
We were all for her. We didn't care if.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
She's Muslim or Jewish or Christian. How come they are
not there for those women. So yeah, a lot of
hypocrisy I saw.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Well the United Nations. I don't know if you're word.
There's an exhibit right now about terrorism. Not a word
about Israeli victims of terrorism. Not a single photo. There's
one of a Palestinian girl who actually was not even
in the area, in a different country. Even they had
a poster of her, but not a single victim of
visual This is at the United Nations, the height of
hic apostrophy. It's just terrible, terrible, how the world Views.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
It there are so many good people Jewish An Israelis
that are trying to help and trying to raise the
voice of really listening to what's happening here, and it's
heartbreaking that the UN is doing such an exhibition and
(17:53):
nothing about what we are going through here.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Lot Peter's are She's a best selling author in Israel, photojournalist, columnist, activists.
She has a finger on the pulse of contemporary women's
issues issues in Israel. Her latest novel, The Third Novel,
has been translated into English by Harper via division Harper
and Collins. Is called on her own Lei The Have
How Has October seventh, changed you and your family and
(23:20):
your husband who's the prime former prime minister of Israel. I.
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Think it changed every Israeli that is here.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
You know, Usually people ask me when they hear something
in the news about Israel, and I'm telling them, listen, it's.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Not so bad.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Everything is okay, will be okay. This time it is bad.
And we found out that we are more fragile than
we thought we are, and it's and the whole Israeli
security and being very I don't know, proud of ourselves.
(24:04):
Suddenly we are a little bit more afraid, more worried.
And so I think this changed and got into each
one of us under the skin. This is one thing
and the second I think, wow, I think we have
(24:25):
a fight, a huge fighter.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Now where are we going from now?
Speaker 8 (24:32):
How is Israeli needs to look at the the next
ten years. What are we planning on doing, How can
we keep it safe? How can we keep it and
you know what can we make it happy again? Because
now it's super sad, and how we'll get to the
point that it's happy. You know, it's being in Israel
(24:56):
is all the time thinking am I willing? Is it worthwhile?
Speaker 9 (25:02):
The price that we are paying for living here.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
And now there's a lot of us that are really
united in even because of what you said, because we
see the anti Semitism outside. So we say we have
to keep Israel, we have to keep Israel strong, and
it's important for the whole Jewish people.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
So we are fighting for that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
And well you find for every single Jew. And by
the way, you know, if God forbid, there wondn't be
a state of Israel. Jews be even more danger because
let's look at the facts. October seventh day of most
Jews killed since the Holocaust. But the next day Israel
gets back and retaliates and fights, and God willing will
be vindicated, will win at the end of the day.
(25:49):
Just unfortunately taking too long. We got to get the
hostages home, we got to get rid of Hamas, but
they're always going to be Hasbola Iran. You have these
groups that want to hurt and destroy is but thank
God is real, we're strong, and their strength is in
the unity. If we can keep that unity going, that's
the most important thing in my opinion and other people's opinion.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
And the difference between what we went through the Holocaust
and now is that the day after Israel was there.
Instrael was there with her airplanes and with the with
the soldiers, so it didn't continue until the end. So yes,
(26:29):
so it's very important to keep Israel strong. But it's
also important to think, how can how can we make
it happy again?
Speaker 9 (26:41):
How can we make it safe one day?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Because because also coming and telling ourselves that we'll always
live at wars, between one war and another, there should
be one day a good ending.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
For the store.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
There will be a good ending. As a writer, I
know you can write a happy ending in the book,
but in.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
Real living happily ever after in Israel.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Well, listen before October seventh, I don't know what the
survey is. They said Israel is one of the happiest
places in the world to live. I forgot what the
number was. If it was high up there.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
When you pay a huge price about something, you appreciate
it more like when we are sick or we have
someone that is sick with only then we think how
happy it is to be healthy.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
So also in Israel, and we have to.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Keep it to keep life here worthwhile, and it should
be good.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
No, it's important. So let me ask you this question.
One of the issues that's come up recently. Of course,
is aradium in the army creatim in society. So how
do you deal with I know that there's a perception
that your husband was not sympathetic to thet I spoke
to about Dove Lippen. He told me otherwise. So from
your perspective, and unity is so important, how do we
(28:07):
work together all of us religious, secular, right wing, left
wing in Israel so we don't tear the country apart
once peace comes.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
You know, it's like in a family when you have
brothers and sisters. You can't that just one kid will
do the dishes always and the rest will sit and eat. Okay,
everyone needs to give their hand and help, and each
one needs to do something. And the already community can't
(28:38):
anymore not go to the army. There are a lot
of things that they can do that can help other
soldiers go to combat. They can you know, there's there's
a profession of that. Usually women are doing it. It's
called that spit aniot, which is that they look from
(29:00):
far away on the computer. Yeah, so they can do it,
no problem, and they can do it. They can do
so many things, But the more important thing is the
moral thing. Again, I'm coming back after being yesterday in
the hospital, seeing young kids without a leg, without a hand.
(29:23):
You can't live in Israel and say this is the
obligation of someone else. My kids won't go and those
kids will go. Believe me, when my son went to
the army and he went to the tanks, and and
I have him, and I have another daughter, which she's
(29:45):
statistic and everything, and it was I didn't.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Sleep for three years. I was worried like crazy.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
If something will happen to him, I wouldn't forgive myself.
So how come I need to do it and someone
else it's okay that he doesn't. So that's it's like,
I don't know. Would you say in America someone needs
to pay taxes and the rest won't. It's it's crazy.
(30:13):
So that's the tax that we pay, but it's in
blood and each one needs to give his hand. And
you know what, if they would come and say, we
really want, let's think of how we can do it.
But they're demonstrating people now Orthodoxy Jews in Israel demonstrating
(30:36):
will die and we won't go to the army.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
When when when.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Our kids are dying because they went to the army.
So so it's it's not anymore.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
It's not just intellectual discussion.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
So I might add, and I've seen those demonstrations, and
you've seen them in Israel. But Ellie Paley, who's the
founder of the publisher of Mishpacha, which is one of
the largest Haadi public public publications in Israel, he said
on this program, and he said he's working on a
proposal with Jewish organizations where Haadi individuals at the age
of twenty five should do homeland security and other issues.
(31:15):
I like the idea. There has to be some way
of working things out. And there are a lot.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
Of Listen, there are a lot of religious young women
that they do the teaching schools, they help with people
with disabilities. You know, they need to come with an
open heart to do something, to say we are coming
for two or three years and we are doing something
(31:42):
in their community, in our community. There are so many
things they can do, and it's just morally wrong to
say everybody else go to the army protect us.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I think it's changing. You have knakkaradi, you have moved,
and I think it can't be legislative, but has been negotiated,
not just from my perspective here.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
There are a lot of ready soldiers doing the army,
doing such wonderful things. We saw them in the in
the war. Yes, and when they come home sometimes they
need to take off their uniforms because people are saying
bad things about them.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I think that's changed somewhat during the war. I think
that's changed people respect more. In fact, there's a video
that I think I saw where you had, you know,
a Paradi car pulled up with little kids with payout
and they go to the soldiers and they bring a
bag and here's the snacks, we say for you. You
see pictures like that and videos like it exists out there.
(32:47):
We just have to build on it.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are right.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
I think what happened to us that this war made
they realized that it's not just something we're talking about.
It's not just a political thing. It's really life here.
It's really the life of everybody here. So something changed.
(33:13):
And I hope, I hope and I wish that there
will be negotiation and there will be a solution that
will solve it for once and for all.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I agree with you totally. Our guest is Lehi Lampitt,

Speaker 2 (38:32):
You're listening to Talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
Jewish broadcast on the air since nineteen eighty one, And
now here's your host.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Our guest is Lehi Lampet. He fascinating book, her third
novel on her own, is published in English, first time
in English, and it's by Harper via Division Harper Collin.
She is a photojournalist. She's also the wife of Formersraeli
Prime Minister Yarlpitt, head of the Asha Tid Centrist party
in is you know one of the things that impressed
(39:02):
me by the way recently is I see a lot
of Jews in America and around the world have said
I want to help, and they've been providing army. They've
providing gear for the Israeli Army, boots, night goggles, drones.
How do you feel about it? And one, I love
the fact that American Jews and others are helping. On
the other hand, I find it embarrassing the Israeli Army
(39:24):
was so ill prepared.
Speaker 8 (39:26):
Yeah, the fact that they needed to send things for
the army is really embarrassing. But I do think that
it was the first time that we Israelis, we were
really moved by how much they wanted.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
To help, and all the missions and all the.
Speaker 8 (39:47):
Things that people sent from America and from Jews all
over the world. So it was it was the first
time that I so gratitude, real gratitude of Israelis, and
I saw that more Israel's Israelis are more thankful and
(40:07):
appreciate the fact that we have Jews around the world.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Fighting for us, helping us.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Each video that we saw of someone talking on Columbia
University for Israel, we shared and so suddenly Israeli Is
we're looking to see what the Jewish world is saying
about us, and each thing of support was really appreciated.
(40:39):
So in a way, it was nice to see at
this war, we saw the diaspora in Israel.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
Together.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
It didn't happen for so many years like that, so
strong and so important for us and for you guys.
So it was really touching.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
One young man, Daniel, he's a businessman and he was
on this program. He raised over ten million dollars by
himself to provide gear for the Israeli Army. One individual.
He raised over ten million dollars. He was in business.
I know other people that gave up occupation to get
boots and other equipment for Israel. Just amazing to see
(41:21):
how people resourceful. They are. Again, they're not fun to raise,
but they raised and they actually gave the money to Israel,
which I'm very impressed by by that. Here's the issue,
and I know your husband is not Prime minister right now,
but the big issue is and I don't have an
answer for it, and I don't envy the Prime Minister
of isral whoever the prime minister is. Is On the one hand,
you want to bring hostages home, but you release terrorists
(41:44):
that are dangerous. They're going to kill Jews another day.
Sinhwar was freed in the Galic ch Elite swap deal.
He was they were warned that he should nation let
him go. He's dangerous. And look how dangerous he is.
You have people blood in their hands. So on the
one hand, you want to get the hostages. On the
other hands, you reala is terrorist that you know, we're
just going to wait for another day to kill us again.
(42:04):
I don't know how you balance it out.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
You're not going to complicate it complicate me in politics,
but I will say something that I have to say
about it. We have young women being in captivity with terrorists.
We need to bring them back.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Home, no matter the price.
Speaker 9 (42:28):
I'm not saying no matter what the price, but the
price now.
Speaker 8 (42:31):
Is like with tiny details for here and for there.
It's not the huge gap that was at the beginning
that we couldn't think of what they asked. It's different now.
The gaps are small, and I think Israel is strong
enough and smart enough to decide later what are we
(42:56):
doing doing And the fact that we made mistakes once
doesn't mean we have to make the same mistakes again.
So I'm saying, we can save people's life now, and
they are dying by the day, and it's like, we
don't have we don't have another day, we don't have
(43:17):
another week. That's the time to do the deal, and
then we need to think what we're doing next.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
No, it's listen. I understand the parents, and I understand
the need that these not only the young women but
the men are being tortured and brutalized by these terroristies.
Are not human beings. These are just terrible, the worst
of the worst that we have. But the problem is,
and again maybe you just get them out now and
(43:46):
worry about it down the road, but you know there's
going to be a problem down the road where The's
are going to free these terrorists because some of them
that they're demanding are those with blood on their hands
that will kill Jews. Again, there's no question about that.
But it's a tough issue. Again, I don't have a
solution for it, and it's.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
A tough issue. But you know, I'll tell you what.
We know that among us there will be a lot
of people that will get into their car and will
die one day in a car accident. It will happen.
Speaker 9 (44:16):
It happens.
Speaker 8 (44:18):
But if we can save one person that now we
know that I don't know that we can save him.
Maybe it's not a good example. Those people are alive,
not a lot of them, and we need to bring
them back home now. And I believe Israel is a
(44:40):
strong country, clever and smart, and she will know how
to deal with it down the road and not to
make mistakes anymore. Like that.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
I find our conversation fast and just a few moments
left our scaris to get your reaction. I know that
your book is having trouble. Any Israeli or any Jewish
authors having problems, bookstores don't want to feature them. Publishers
don't want to publish works of Jewish authors because of
the climate. And unfortunately, while we spoke about American Jews
(45:13):
who've really bonded in helping Israel, there are a bunch
of American Jews that are very woke that are anti Israel.
We did a show about a workshop before the past
over holiday with parents who love Israel had to go
to a workshop how to deal with kids who come
back from college hating Israel. How do you spend the
pastover state it together? You have this wokeness you have
(45:33):
groups that don't know much about Israel that are demonstrating
against Israel too. I don't know how we reached out
to them, but these are people of our family that
are so misguided, have such a war perception of Israel
that and this is true of the non religious world.
The religion. I think it's so important. I think in
(45:54):
Israel you see probably more religion, more belief in God
after October seventh than beforehand. People have been turning. In
the United States, we have these walk kids. I don't
know how we deal with them, but how do we
get them back?
Speaker 8 (46:04):
You know, it's something that we don't have it here
because whoever lives here or you know what, I'll tell
you what, whoever is visited here in Israel and felt
what's happening here and the energy I'm talking before seventh
of October, they realize how fragile Israel is and how
(46:27):
you need to keep it. I'm a writer, so I'm
using images. I think what happened is that for us,
for you? For me? We think when we think of
Israel usually we think of stories in our life. We
think of stories, and when we look at Israel, we
think the David and Goliath story. We think we see
(46:49):
Israel as David, the small, the smart, and I think
a lot of people in the world are mistaken and
thinking that we are Goliath, that we are the bed
and the big and and we need to tell the
story differently, and people need to understand that the state.
Speaker 9 (47:14):
Of Israel is David is There are the good ones,
that are the small ones.
Speaker 8 (47:19):
They are the ones that are that we need to
watch out for to keep them so.
Speaker 9 (47:26):
So I think they are we are losing in the media. Yeah, well, the.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
Media has been very biased and the college campuses are woke.
I spoke. I don't know if you're aware, but a
lot of Evangelical Christians were supportive of Israel. Their children
are pro Palestinian. And I guess one of the pastors,
why are so many young Evangelical Christians not supportive of
Israel pro Palestinian? You know what he told me, Because
they go to these colleges where they get indoctrinated with
(47:53):
this anti Israel hatred. This is what the pastor told me.
Just like Jews have been effected, Evangelical Christians being affected
by it too. It's unfortunate and we have to do
something about these colleges, and we have to also make
sure that every kid has a better Jewish education. I'm
a big proponent of Jewish education. They are in Israel.
You live in the country, you absorb, you know when
(48:14):
the holidays are. But you ask how many people know
where some of the Jewish holidays are? Like sueh, they
will tell you what is it? So it's a problem
we have in America today and the Western world.
Speaker 8 (48:26):
I'm thinking, I don't know if I'm thinking about birthright.
Speaker 9 (48:31):
This amazing program, amazing program.
Speaker 8 (48:34):
Program I know Michael Steinhart and like really it's it's
it's an amazing program. And I think that's maybe the solution.
Send your kids for a week in Israel to know
that they will go back to the colleges and they
will speak for Israel.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
And they're doing that. Friend Angelical Christians to a birthright
for evangelical Christians. That also helpful.
Speaker 9 (48:57):
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
I think they started already. I'm F'm not mistaken. I
have to check into that, but but we need more
and more of that, more association with more Jewish education.
I want to thank you for joining me. What's your
next book going to be about?
Speaker 8 (49:13):
Wow? Now we're doing a TV series from that. So
so I'm studying a new profession. After being a photographer writer,
now I'm a screen writer and I'm trying to figure
it out.
Speaker 9 (49:26):
I hope it will be soon.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
An actress too.
Speaker 8 (49:29):
I'll tell you what, No, I can't write while there's
a war here, like you can't. I'm outside. I'm most
of my time. I'm on the street demonstrating for bringing
back the hostages. So that's that's where my heart is.
That's what I do now. I can't write about anything
(49:51):
besides the situation and the hostages.
Speaker 3 (49:55):
So if your husband will be Prime Minister today, will
he be bringing making a deal to bring back the hospital. Yeah.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
