Israel Uncensored: Understanding the Fast of Gedalia

The Land of Israel Network

On today's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh explains why today (the 3rd of Tishrei) is a fast named after the murdered Babylonian-appointed Jewish governor Gedalia Ben Ahikam. While there is certainly some controversy to the episode, ultimately his death started a chain of events leading to the end of a Jewish presence in Israel for many years. Also on the show, the latest on Israel's coronavirus lockdown, plus the US has a straight moral compass when it comes to Iran, while other countries try to let the Mullahs off their hook for exporting terror across the globe.
