TFJ Season 4 Episode 6 Why in the World Were the Soviets Adamant to see the State of Israel Established?
This is an excellent question and a full-fledged mystery that will not be fully answered in this episode. Teller From Jerusalem continues to explore the various steps that occurred in the evolution of the Soviet support for nascent Israel. It was beneficial to Israel that the Soviets arrested the work of Count Folke Bernadotte, the Swedish aristocrat that was appointed by the United Nations Secretary General to hammer out a temporary truce between Israel and her neighbors.
Bernadotte sought to achieve far more than just a temporary truce. He foisted terms upon Israel, when she was already winning the war, which would have deprived her of much of what she had achieved at the very greatest sacrifice. This was going to cost him his life at the hands of Israel’s underground and embroil Israel in international censure resulting in Ben Gurion declaring war upon any defense force that was not part of the Haganah.

TFJ Season 4 Episode 5 How Stalin helped found the State of Israel
The title of this episode sounds inane, if not in fact Orwellian. Who can remember when the Soviets ever did anything beneficial to Jews or for the State of Israel? Alas, there was a window when the Soviets were determined to see a Jewish state arise and they were dependably reliable in the UN and allowing the transfer of weaponry that was to ensure that this would happen.

TFJ Season 4 Episode 3 The Transformational IDF – An Interview with Rabbi Steven Weil (CEO of the FIDF)
One’s first association of the IDF is that of a mighty army that secures Israel’s borders and simultaneously prevents an Iranian hegemonic caliphate in the Middle East. But the IDF is very much also the platform and the wherewithal to enable Israelis – of every background – to live the Israeli dream.
The IDF presents an incredible educational opportunity for those who have been deprived of a high school education, or received weak schooling. The first priority for the scholarships are for minorities: Arabs, Druze or Christians. But even those who do not participate in the IDFs continuing education programs, are very much involved in a broader educational project that is the essence of the IDF. During their years of service, young men and women will transform from selfish takers absorbed with their phones, into mature, responsible adults who blossom into givers that are committed to each other for life.
