Yishai Fleisher is running for Knesset. In this conversation with Rabbi Tuly Weisz, the Jerusalem broadcaster and longtime Zionist activist announces that he has been added to the Otzma Yehudit slate, his first time on a major list after twenty five years of trying.
He tells the story behind Route 60. Four years of lobbying to rename the road that runs through the biblical heartland, past Shechem, Shiloh, Beit El, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron, as Derech HaTanach, the Biblical Highway. He explains why a road sign is a national strategy, why Israelis do not know the book of Genesis, and why the Ministry of Tourism spent decades selling beaches instead of the land of the Bible.
Then the harder conversation. Yishai argues that Judaism has no real offering for the non-Jew who loves the God of Israel, calls the Noahide framework a branding failure, and proposes an Abrahamic path instead: houses of worship that face Jerusalem and follow the Jewish calendar, without asking anyone to convert. Rabbi Tuly answers with a different biblical category, the Ger Toshav, and the two work out what a Ger Toshav visa could look like.
Also: Ben Gvir's record at National Security, gun permits, prison policy, and the pastor at the National Religious Broadcasters convention who told the State of Israel exactly what Christians actually want.
Hosted by Rabbi Tuly Weisz, founder of Israel365 and publisher of The Israel Bible.
