Way back in Season One (episode 28 – really worth listening to!) famous lecturer and New York Times best-selling author, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin came on the show to explain "moral imagination." When the opportunity arose, I sat him down to get another vital installment concerning what should be a critical component of our character.

Our sagacious guest discusses a widow marrying a second husband and if this entails betrayal to her former spouse or their children? Rabbi Telushkin analyzes the dying wish of the famous Jewish ethicist Rabbi Yisrael Salanter, and how people should prepare for their own demise. We are then taken to the Jewish community of New York City in 1895, fearful of the backlash from the visit of a prominent antisemite, and how the clever police commissioner, Teddy Roosevelt came to the rescue. The episode concludes with the moving portrayal of (remarkably unknown) Holocaust hero, Roddy Edmonds, and how his story was posthumously revealed.

Egypt purchased state of the art weaponry from the Soviet Union that obliterated any balance of power between Israel and her Arab adversaries. Egypt would have the armament, it already had the desire, to wipe out Israel.
Israel naturally turned to its trusted ally, the United States, but the days of Harry Truman were over. The new President, Dwight Eisenhower, together with his State Department which has traditionally been slanted against Israel, saw wisdom in aligning with the far more numerous Arabs. Israel desperately needed a friend that manufactured weapons, and that ally turned out to be France.
France's primary motivation was the principle that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. FLN freedom fighters in Algeria were seeking freedom from France and they were armed and trained by Egypt. When Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal and expels western managers, Britain and France know that they must act and their unlikely partner is Israel.

After Israel's stunning and unpredictable victory (especially from the Arab perspective) in the War of Independence, there was a colossus of bruised pride in the Arab World. To answer the heretofore imponderable, "How could Israel have been victorious?" a narrative emerged, "We did not lose because Israel was strong, but rather because our leaders were weak."
The search began for strong military men who could restore Arab dignity, and the undisputed rising star was Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. Nasser was a pan-Arabist who maintained that Arabs were born for greatness and should have had one of the most enduring empires, had they not been victims of colonialism.
A Soviet shift in the 1950s pushed them from allies of Israel to adversaries. President Eisenhower, with the very strong support of his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, decided to be stronger aligned with the Arab side in the conflict.

Life throws curveballs all the time, and not everyone has the consistency or the disposition to turn lemons into lemonade. Rabbi Dovid M. Cohen, previous pulpit rabbi in Manhattan, is currently the CEO of the Algemainer Jewish Media outlet. Everyone is different and everyone copes differently. Rabbi Cohen, a licensed therapist, shares with us how he has dealt with his own challenges and some of the counsel he has offered others.

As already explained in an earlier episode (Season Five Episode 6) the Fedayeen terrorist raiders would sneak into Israel, murder, sabotage, set fire, steal, and slip back across the border to Egypt and Jordan. This was death by a thousand cuts to Israel.

And then things deteriorated precipitously when in September of 1955, Nasser announced that Egypt has signed a massive arms deal with Czechoslovakia (read: Russia) which will give Egypt an enormous military edge over Israel and enable the Fedayeen to be backed by tank brigades.

Nasser openly states that he intends to destroy Israel and he will soon have the weaponry to enable this. Israel is running out of time. And just then Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal, antagonizing and threatening the British and the French. A surreptitious international pact is formed to undercut Nasser, which will come to be known as the Sinai Campaign of 1956.
