We will discuss Israel 2.0, a flagship project of the Misgav Institute, designed to provide grand vision for the State of Israel over the coming decades. (0:35-29:47)

Argentina doesn't often come within our purview in Australia. With all eyes on Israel at the moment we tend to ignore what is going on in other Jewish communities around the world.

Argentinian president Javier Milei is showing a strong affinity toward Israel and the Jewish people. Being on the verge of the 30th anniversary of the bombing of their community centre, that has been blamed on Iran, there is much to discuss.

I speak with Rabbi Yosi Baumgarten, the grandson of the first emissary of the Lubavitcher rebbe to Argentina Rabbi Berel Baumgarten and Argentinian Jewish community member Silvio Bergman. (29:54-57:57)
