First, Yishai hears from Josh Reinstein, director of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus and one of the founders of the Israel Allies Foundation, which has an international network of pro-Israel caucuses. His organization, which helped pass legislation making it illegal to boycott Israel in South Carolina, has erected caucuses in dozens of countries, Costa Rica recently becoming the 33rd.
Then, Yishai is joined by Dror Vanunu -international coordinator of the Gush Katif Community Fund, the umbrella organization supporting former Gush Katif residents — to talk about the repercussions of that controversial withdrawal 10 years ago.
Then, Yishai is joined by Rabbi Natan Slifkin, also known as the “Zoo Rabbi,” director of the Biblical Museum of Natural History and the author of the Torah Encyclopedia of the Animal Kingdom. Rabbi Slifkin talks about exotic biblical animals, and gives the Torah’s take on the existence of dinosaurs. Listen in before seeing this summer’s “Jurassic World.”
Finally, Yishai is joined by Professor Hagai Perets, assistant professor in the Technion’s astrophysics department, to discuss the New Horizons spacecraft’s nine and a half years of travel across the dwarf-planet Pluto. Perets shares information about the remarkable new findings from the edge of the galaxy.
