Shayna Goldberg: Inside Israel’s Religious Zionist Community [Israel & Diaspora 3/5]

We ask to &lt;a href="https://new.tehilimyahad.com/mr.jsp?r=jMO9KjCd6A9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;pray&lt;/a&gt; for his quick healing: Noam Avraham ben Atara Shlomit.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;In this episode of the &lt;i&gt;18Forty Podcast&lt;/i&gt;, we talk to Malka Simkovich—a scholar of Jewish history, the editor-in-chief of the Jewish Publication Society, and a three-time 18Forty guest—about previous Jewish diasporas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We tend to think of “Israel-diaspora relations” as a modern phenomenon. But, as Dr. Simkovich reminds us, that situation existed well over 2,000 years ago, when some Jews returned to the Land of Israel following the Babylonian exile while others remained abroad. In this episode we discuss:&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are the differences between the notions of &lt;i&gt;golah&lt;/i&gt;, diaspora, and &lt;i&gt;galut&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Did ancient diaspora Jews have a political equivalent to “supporting Israel”? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How should Jews live when in a partial state of exile?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Tune in to hear a conversation about the “proto-messianic mindset” throughout Jewish history and today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Interview begins at 8:58.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Malka Simkovich is the director and editor-in-chief of the Jewish Publication Society and previously served as the Crown-Ryan Chair of Jewish Studies and Director of the Catholic-Jewish Studies program at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.
