Since October 7, it has been painful for many people of faith to approach God, to find the words to respond to our changing, impossible reality. A new book - AZ NASHIR brings all the pathos and the hope, providing words for those who can't find their own. Compiled and edited by Shira Lankin Sheps, Rachel Sharansky Danziger, and Anne (!), this moving anthology brings together the poetic, prayerful words of prayer of more than 50 contributors and 15 artists, with prayers for nearly every circumstance of the past year. By women, for women, in their many varied voices.

Another blow in Israel with Hamas's cold-blooded murder of six hostages on the verge of being rescued alive by the IDF. Shoshanna and Anne probe the country's state of raw emotion, call out the evil of Hamas, acknowledge the conflict of being put between a rock and a hard place, and offer tips for the things we all can do to make the world a better place.

Sometimes, all the progress lands society right back at the beginning. Just ask the women who would like to be on Israel's committee to select rabbis. Or the female tank soldiers. Or the liberal left who would never tolerate discrimination, except when it comes to Orthodox women. Anne and Shoshanna review the things that have changed, but remained the same.

When Avi was called up on October 7 (for 5 of the next 8 months), his wife, Bazy, became a "Milu-Ima" (a reservist is called a miliumnik). Home with 4 beloved children and an uncountable number of diapers to change, Bazy was one of 70 women in comparable situations in her neighborhood alone. She set out to do something for her neighbors... and her country. Along the way, she became an international online sensation, sharing the comedy and poignancy of real lives "back home" when so many men are at war.

How can we celebrate when our people are in captivity? Yet, Passover isn't cancelled this year, even if you feel it should be, so how do we make sense of it? In what is now an annual pre-Passover episode to help boost our seder experience, Anne and Shoshanna talk to Dr. Tammy Jacobowitz about how to approach the holiday this very difficult year.

Six months into Israel's war with Hamas, and nearly all sectors of Israeli society are feeling it, but extended army service and a sadly rising death toll have turned Israeli attention to the Haredim who (for the most part) do not serve in the IDF. Much of Israel is irate, but with the yeshiva exemptions newly canceled, Haredim are irate too. Anne and Shoshanna discuss the change in the air.

Yes, representation in Israeli politics really matters. Shoshanna and Anne delve into why women running for municipal office is so important (even during the war). For all that elected officials should represent the concerns of the entire population, it is too easy to miss issues that don't touch one directly. Thus, the need for women to focus on concerns that a male-only government is unlikely to even notice.

Does "Together, we will win" inspire you or depress you? Shoshanna and Anne "take the temperature" of how people are reacting differently to the same general experience of war, from how it is a different experience for Israelis as compared to those around the globe, and how it is different for every Israeli.

Shoshanna and Anne speak with the very talented Shani Weinmann Kay about her experience as a religious woman in the IDF, especially during this time of war, and how her experiences have strengthened her commitment to the army, her family, and her personal religious practice.

Eve Barlow, Fleur Hassan Nahoum and Adiel Cohen are warriors on the front lines of the media war against Israel - joined of course by our own Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll. In this special double-length episode, Anne and Shoshanna talk to these pros about how they do what they do, how YOU can do it too, and why being cancelled is actually a great thing.

Were the pre-October 7th warnings dismissed because they originated with women? Are the men of the old-boy network at a disadvantage because they have been trained to think in certain ways? Shoshanna and Anne recognize the women who were involved in so many various aspects of October 7th and the war since, with an eye to how women can (and we'll say should) contribute in new crucial ways.

Since October 7, Israel has tragically, devastatingly seen more people burying loved ones and sitting shiva than the country could ever have been prepared for. Enter the newly founded organization Chesed Shel Emet, and Pnina Pfeuffer, who speaks with Shoshanna and Anne about how four Haredi women have stepped up (with others) to make this painful process smoother, no matter the Jewish affiliation of the bereft. May the shift in priorities across communities last.

Antisemitism is the oldest hatred in the book, yet, even in the wake of the October 7th massacre, it's new for each generation, and each person experiences it fresh. Shoshanna and Anne call attention to what's been going on, and consider how we as a people stick together to combat the hatred against us. Plus, a postscript on the American Jewish community's mass march on Washington, a profound showcase of love and solidarity for the Jewish world.

The new reality of Israel and really all Jews is stressful and even traumatic. Anne and Shoshanna talk with Sherri Mandell, a certified pastoral counselor, a founder of the Koby Mandell Foundation, and the bereaved mother of Koby Mandell Hy"d, about how to navigate this challenging time, from parenting to handling oneself to helping others.
