In this more combative episode, Ari and Shaun take on three of the most volatile issues facing Israel today.

First, they clash over the spiralling murder rate within Israel’s Arab communities. Why has lawlessness deepened? Is this a failure of governance, policing, culture, or politics? The two see both the root causes and the solutions very differently.

Next, they turn outward to the question looming over the region: a potential strike on Iran. Yes, no, maybe? What would such an attack actually achieve, and why does the prospect remain on the table?

Finally, the debate returns home with the ongoing battle over Haredi conscription. Is this an unsolvable societal fracture, or are the solutions more straightforward than politicians admit?

Despite sharp disagreements, the episode closes as always, with clarity, perspective, and a message of hope. Am Yisrael Chai.

This is not an episode to miss.

In this emotional episode, we reflect on the life of Josh Boone, his philosophy of service, his sacrifice, and why he embraced the role of the “sheepdog”: the moral duty to protect others.

Ari shares his experience of Josh’s loss, the efforts to have him officially recognized as a fallen soldier, and what that recognition represents.
Yet, it was denied, his friends and family still ensured he was laid to rest with the honor and dignity he earned.

The episode includes references to our previous interview with Josh, giving listeners a chance to hear his own words.
