Homeland: Ten Stories, One Israel

22
Judaism #28

When a bus breaks down off an Israeli highway and leaves its passengers stranded, Emily, American journalism student, decides to put her skills to the test...much to the chagrin of her fellow travelers. As she eventually coaxes each person to share their story, Emily uncovers the rich and complex history that every Israeli holds. Each episode is a deep dive into a new character’s world; from Morocco to Russia, all paths lead to Israel in this narrative style pod.

    Entertaining and interesting BUT
    Emily’s voice gets very irritating in a short amount of time.

    What an incredible podcast! I’m hooked. I am not Jewish but since I was a little girl packing up my baby dolls to leave Egypt, I’ve been drawn to Israel and it’s people. I’m a Christian who seeks to honor and celebrate Jewish holidays with my five children as a way to respect God’s chosen people and to instill a love for story, meaning, and purpose in my children. This is such a timely podcast in the aftermath and horror of Oct 7. Am Yisrael Chai.

    Another great podcast from Unpacked
    This was so good that I binge-listened to the entire thing in two days. Each story is fascinating and it's beautiful how they're interwoven. I would love to hear a second season, or even a different podcast, talk about two additional stories of people from Israel: - People who have no Jewish heritage who convert and then make aliyah, and - People who make aliyah when they are older, like 40+

    interesting!
    I really like this idea. It feels like a story. But it’s “true” in the sense that it represents real events. I think it’s a great way to learn history. It feels more like I’m experiencing it, or meeting the characters. I feel more connected to the history this way. I look forward to more!
