On this week’s show we spoke with Brant Rosen. Brant is a co-founder of the Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council and the Rabbi of Tzedek Chicago, a new ‘non-Zionist’ synagogue he helped found last summer. We spoke about his journey from liberal Zionism to Palestine solidarity and what it means to practice a “Judaism beyond nationalism.” Finally, our Shkoyakhs for this week went to Indigenous land defenders across the continent.
