The 'Remarkable Times' in Which We Live and Challenges Ahead for the 20th Knesset

VOI's Dov Lipman expresses awe and discusses what he calls the "remarkable times" in which we live -- with the Jews rising from the ashes of the Holocaust and then establishing the vibrant state of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.

Then, Dov is joined by Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, who discusses the challenges facing the 20th Knesset, opining on an array of issues, among them: religion and state; regional representation in the Knesset; and the Knesset's being the first green parliament in the world.

Finally, Dov answers questions from listeners on topics such as his having to renounce his US citizenship in order to serve in the Knesset; US-Israel relations; and efforts in the Knesset to prevent animal suffering in Israel.
