Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
Today is day 67 of the war. Diaspora affairs correspondent Canaan Lidor and Tech Israel editor Sharon Wrobel join host Jessica Steinberg for today’s podcast.
Lidor discusses Kibbutz Nahal Oz’s temporary quarters in another kibbutz, Mishmar Ha’emek in the Jezreel Valley, with disagreements heard among members about what’s best for their community after October 7.
Wrobel talks about the drop in consumer sentiment since October 7, at levels last seen during the coronavirus pandemic, as Israelis don’t have the desire or the funds to spend.
Lidor looks at a surge in Torah scroll writing projects in the last two months, as communities — religious and secular — look for meaning and hope.
