JL;DR SUMMARY In a discussion led by Noah Efron, Don Futterman, and Haaretz journalist Allison Kaplan Sommer, three main topics were covered: the controversy surrounding an Israeli musician who covered his eyes with duct tape to avoid seeing women dancing, the challenge faced by Israel's Left in convincing others of their patriotism, and the diminishing importance of Hanukkah in Israel, once considered a significant Zionist holiday. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

• At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
• This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
• Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
• But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
• And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
