If I told you this was a fun episode to watch, it would be an understatement.
Watch these 13 pros as they laugh, love & discuss. First half is all about the world of poker. Second half are their thoughts on Israel and antisemitism.
SO. GOOD!

So get this. My parents house had its big fire recently. My parents haven't even moved into their temporary home yet, and my mother trips yesterday and spends the night in the ER looking like she's gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

New ideas. Fresh blood. Thinking outside the box. Sometimes this is what's needed to actually make the impossible possible.
What if some of the fractures in the Middle East could be improved with business deals?
Filmmaker Zach Zorba brings a "soft diplomacy" perspective.

Former United States Ambassador Marc Sievers provided his expertise, both regarding how eye-opening the hatred against Israel is within universities, and also the need for the Abraham Accords to succeed.
Really invaluable having him on, and he continues to do incredible work with the AJC.

Ksenia Svetlova wears many hats, as an Israeli politician, professor, and runs the organization ROPES.
She explains that things with Saudi Arabia never seemed like they were as close as people thought, as they were always hinging normalization on stability with the Palestinians.

Nir Boms paints a fascinating backstory. In 2012 a powerful figure in the Muslim Brotherhood was given power. This was the final straw for more moderate Muslim countries, and helped them realize they needed what ultimately became the Abraham Accords. Fascinating!

Spotlighting the incredible Yaara Segal. This episode was her vision, born from her expertise on the Abraham Accords. It took months of dedication to bring together these voices of various faiths, and I couldn't be prouder of the result—or the friendship we’ve built along the way.

On the second night I read the names of each of the Jewish Australian terror victims. On the third night, I climbed the ladder and lit the candles, while still needing to answer the phone for my patients.

The @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social is doing some amazing work, and when I contacted them about doing this episode on the Abraham Accords, they introduced me to Alex Plitsas, who's been truly awesome. Just a tremendously intelligent analysis on the complexities of the Middle East!

This will possibly be the most challenging episode I have ever done. But unbelievably worthwhile. We will have the honor to speak with a whopping 14 Holocaust Survivors, as well as 4 incredible people who help keep the stories alive.

Amjad Taha was incredibly memorable. He was RUNNING to a CNN interview, and then going to meet President Trump. But he STILL honored us with his time, before needing to run.
He's extremely positive and optimistic about how successfully the Abraham Accords have worked out.

This. This is what we need more of from the next generation of Academics. Students who actually learn about the Abraham Accords and coexistence, and bring dialogue back to their campuses. Not empty, vacuous virtue signaling protests.
Thank you Ethan Winterstein for joining us!

I believe the hard conversations are what most NEED to be given a voice. This will be one of them.
There are people out there, more than you know, whose spouses refuse to give them a (religious) divorce. This takes the already difficult scenario of divorce & makes it exponentially more awful.
