Summary

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit peterbeinart.substack.com Our guest is Rachel Timoner , Senior Rabbi at Congregation Beth Elohim in Brooklyn. I’ve known her since college. Our political and religious trajectories have taken us in unexpected directions, and left us with different views about Israel-Palestine. I’m grateful she took the time to discuss them with me. Topics include: Is the BDS movement eliminationist? Can a Jewish state be democratic? Is Israel a settler-colonial project? Does the left in the US help the left in Israel-Palestine? Is it okay to call AIPAC “monstrous”?
