"The Kibbitz," is a podcast hosted by Melissa and Andrea, two middle-aged Jewish moms/wives/women from the Midwest, who see a lack of representation of their demographic in the media -- and they have A LOT to say. Writing buddies who spent more time talking than writing is where the podcast was born. Their voices, their viewpoints -- and those of their peers -- are really worth sharing, and the best way to do it is through The Kibbitz.Copyright Jewfolk Podcasts Judaism Spirituality

    Conflict, Democracy, and the Work of Peace (w/ Muli Peleg)
    Oct 13 2026

    Ahead of crucial elections in Israel, Andrea and Melissa sit down with Dr. Samuel Peleg, also known as Muli, a political sociologist and peacebuilding scholar visiting the University of Cincinnati through the Israel Institute. They explore how conflict shapes identity, why reconciliation is so hard, and what is happening inside Israeli society right now.


    Muli brings decades of experience in conflict resolution, negotiations, and education, and he makes a strong case that peace is not abstract idealism - it is a practical form of sanity, democracy, and shared survival.
