LIVE in Atlanta: Unpacking Israeli History
Dr. Noam Weissman in conversation with Yardena Schwartz:
"Sacred Sites, Competing Stories, and the Conflicts That Never Fade"
Join Dr. Noam Weissman, host of the chart-topping Unpacking Israeli History podcast, for a live on stage recording in Atlanta.
This special live program features award-winning journalist and author Yardena Schwartz for a focused exploration of two of the most contested and symbolically charged places in the Israeli Arab conflict: the Temple Mount / Al Aqsa Mosque and the city of Hebron.
Just miles apart geographically, these sites sit at the center of centuries of faith, power, trauma, and competing historical narratives—and remain flashpoints shaping headlines to this day.
This live program promises an exploration of history that helps illuminate today’s headlines—without slogans, shouting, or easy answers.
