Israels Near Death Experience - with Micah Goodman
b'Micah Goodman is on the speed-dial of a number of Israeli political leaders \\u2013 from right to left, but especially on the center-left and the center-right. He is a polymath, a podcaster and one of Israel\\u2019s most influential public intellectuals, having written books ranging from biblical lessons for the modern age to Israel\\u2019s geopolitics. One book in particular, had an outsized impact in terms of its framing of the conundrum that Israel has been in with the Palestinians since 1967. That book is called Catch-67: The Left, the Right, and the Legacy of the Six-Day War, Not only have all of his books been bestsellers in Israel, he essentially created a new genre; books that bring core texts of Jewish thought to a general, secular audience. But Micah has a new book, which he wrote in a four-month sprint following October 7. \\n\\nHis new book is called \\u2018The Eighth Day\\u2019, in which Micah tries to understand the implications of the nation\\u2019s trauma and what it means for the other \\u2018day after\\u2019 (not the \\u2018day after\\u2019 in Gaza, but the \\u2018day after\\u2019 inside Israel). What does this moment mean for Israelis? How will 10/07 re-shape Israeli society\\u2026and its politics?This is the first interview Micah has done about his new book, which will be published (in Hebrew) at the end of March.\\n\\nMicah Goodman\\u2019s books: \\n\\nCatch-67 \\u2014 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/catch-67-micah-goodman/1128089735?ean=9780300248418\\n\\nThe Wondering Jew \\u2014 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-wondering-jew-micah-goodman/1136574622?ean=9780300252248'
