Judea and Samaria, Chareadi Draft and the postive side of war with Rabbi Ben Packer Ep 20
In this episode, Ari sits down with Rabbi Ben Packer for a candid and wide-ranging conversation about the critical role of the farms in Judea and Samaria in strengthening both security and prosperity throughout the region. Together, they explore how agricultural presence shapes strategic realities, the challenges faced on the ground, and the broader national implications.
Ari also presses Rabbi Packer on one of the most contentious issues in Israeli society today — the Chareidi draft — pushing for a practical, values-driven solution. The discussion closes with a look at some of the unexpected positive developments emerging from the current war and what they may mean for Israel’s future.
An insightful, unfiltered conversation on security, society, and the evolving character of the Jewish state.
