In These Times with Rabbi Ammi Hirsch · May 21, 2026 · 57m · transcript

In "Ghosts of a Holy War," award-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz traces the roots of today’s Israeli-Palestinian conflict back to the 1929 Hebron massacre — a moment that still echoes across Israel and the Middle East nearly a century later.
