The "Champagne, Cubans & Bringing Bibi Down" Edition
Allison, Don & Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
Cubans, Champaign and Bringing Bibi Down

It is Good to Drink for our Country!
We discuss a recent exposure of low-level debauchery in Israeli youth movements, and why generally wholesome youth groups are, in fact, thriving here.
All songs by Meir Banai (with sadness in our hearts, on his much too-soon passing):
