- As the war in Gaza rages on, the influence of the Religious Zionist party, led by figures like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, looms large over the direction of the Israeli government. With key ministerial positions in hand, they wield considerable power in shaping policies not only concerning the ongoing war but also regarding broader societal issues such as military service, national identity and economic affairs.
Today, we’re going to take a close look at this pivotal shift in Israeli society with our distinguished guest, Yair Ettinger, an Israeli journalist and the author of the illuminating new book, "Frayed: The Disputes Unraveling Religious Zionists", Ettinger's work provides invaluable insights into the challenges facing the Religious Zionist movement, which has become increasingly influential within Israeli politics and society. Amidst the turmoil of war and political maneuvering, many questions arise about the future direction of Religious Zionism and its impact on the broader Israeli landscape.
Ettinger is an award-winning journalist, with decades of experience. Frayed has won the 2021 Hillel Kook Award and is a finalist of the Jewish Book Council. He was a journalist for Haaretz newspaper for 20 years and today, he’s one of Kan’s commentators on Religious affairs and writes for various outlets such as Ynet. We are super thrilled to be joined by Yair Ettinger on this episode of the Two Nice Jewish Boys podcast.

good show. But you need to explain these hebrew phrases that are all over the episode for non hebrew speakers please.
fascinating, excellent conversation.
Thank you!
One major difference between Smotrich and Bennett is that Smotrich wants the job. Bennett always saw himself as above being the leader of the dati leumi community and always had his eyes on a higher goal. Smotrich on the other hand sees being the dati leuimi leader as his lifelong ambition.
I'm not sure it was pointed out in this
way. Ben Gvir accomplished what Bennett was trying to do in spreading the party to other sectors. Many in thr DL community felt they needed to show their more liberal side to spread their base. What happend in reality was the opposite, it was accomplished by leaning into the hard line element. What the liberals failed to do with thr "first israel" conservatives are succeeding in doing with the "second israel".
We want Moshiach Now
When Hashem send him you as a human you can't push a miracle to happen look what you did in Gaza
Ben Gavir definitely carried Smotrich as early as 2022. Smotrich wouldn't have passed the threshold alone, just like now.
Bennett 👿👿👿👿😡😡😡🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
