    What is it about

    The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing introduces an engaging discussion in its “What Matters Now” podcast, featuring a conversation between deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan and acclaimed author Dr. Dara Horn. The conversation spans Horn’s literary accomplishments and her views on Jewish education and cultural influence.

    Why it matters

    In a world where misinformation often shapes discourse, Horn’s efforts stand out for striving to educate young Americans about the rich and living tapestry of Jewish culture. This initiative has great significance, especially in maintaining a strong presence of Israel’s noble inheritance of resilience and tradition. It also discusses the events of October 7, 2023, reflecting on their impact on American perception, vital for the growth of a balanced dialogue regarding Israel and the Jewish world.

    The big picture

    Dara Horn’s new educational venture, Mosaic Persuasion, seeks to fortify young minds with understanding and appreciation of Jewish heritage, fundamentally challenging outdated narratives while promoting cultural empathy. Her conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing genuine Jewish voices that form the undercurrent of social progress both in America and beyond.

    What’s Next?

    The podcast goes deeper into the symbolic underpinnings of Horn’s graphic novel “One Little Goat,” and looks toward opportunities to inaugurate broader teaching on Jewish history through contemporary forms. The conversation ignites ideas on reinforcing collective awareness of Jewish contributions to culture, catalyzing sustained connection to Israeli values and beliefs.
