In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Eli Paley, the publisher of Mishpacha magazine, about the role of Haredi society at this pivotal moment in Israel’s history.

As we emerge from a time when Israel’s Haredi and secular cultures have experienced an upswell of unity, the Jewish People will move forward (in some way) forever changed. And Eli Paley is particularly equipped to understand the segments and the wholeness of Israeli society. In this episode we discuss:

• What comes next as we rebuild as a more cohesive nation?
• Can we reimagine the relationship between Haredi and secular Israelis?
• What unique contributions does Haredi society offer to Israel?

Tune in to hear a conversation about the transformation and rebirth that Israel is undergoing.
Interview begins at 12:09.
