In this podcast episode, Miriam Herschlag, Don Futterman, and Noah Efron cover two main topics.

Miriam Herschlag, Don Futterman, and Noah Efron cover topics including the blame for the center-left's election loss, the potential influence of religious parties in turning Israel into a Halakhic State, and the role of academics in expressing political views.

The author discusses Alexander Kaye's avoidance of using the term "halakhic state" when describing premodern Jewish regimes, only employing it to refer to proposals within the past century.
