Description:

Join Northwestern Hillel for a live show of Israel Story Podcast on Thursday, May 9, 2019 at Evanston Rocks (1012 Church Street) at 5pm. We'll be hosting the acclaimed podcast creators for a new live show called "The Wall: A Look At The Barriers That Separate Us, And Those That Bring Us Together." See below for a summary of the show.

If you haven't listened to Israel Story before,the podcast is great. It provides a nuanced look at Israel, Palestine, the conflict, and Israeli society. My personal favorites areLove Syndrome and Mixtape Part II. I've seen a live show of the podcast before and it was incredible - this is definitely a not-to-be-missed opportunity!

Summary of show:
Everywhere we turn these days it seems "the wall"
is staring back at us. Its power is magical - it both protects and alienates; keeps people in and out; and can - we have all seen - even bring mighty governments to a standstill. Israel, too, has its share of walls. There's the West Bank Barrier, of course,
the Wailing Wall, and basically everything in between. In their newest live show, Israel Story - the country's leading podcast - interact with different walls and have surprisingly poetic tales to tell about their encounters. With their usual mix of unusually
splendid storytelling, marvelous live music and stunning visuals, join the Israel Story team for an evening that will redefine your thoughts about the good ol' "W-word."
