Sefer Maccabim 000: Introduction

Can the crises surrounding the current war with Hamas help Israel grow beyond Western ideological paradigms & realize our true potential on the world stage?

Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Rav Gavriel Reiss - a founder of the movement who created a farm in southern Judea to actualize Vision ideals.

The two discuss how this war exposed Western civilization's narrow conception of humanity as being largely irrelevant to most Israelis and Palestinians.

The Next Stage

TNS 107: Brotherhood & War (with Gavriel Reiss)

Is Washington's aggressive push for partition inadvertently strengthening Binyamin Netanyahu & increasing the Israeli public's desire for freedom?

Lizzy Oziel & Yehuda HaKohen discuss how the Biden administration's efforts to push Israel back to a two-state paradigm have actually backfired against American interests in the Semitic region.

The two also discuss socio-political transformations in Israeli society, the current state of Israeli-Palestinian peace work, and what line needs to be crossed for individual Jews to be seen as having turned against their people.

If different societies have different concepts of freedom, what does freedom mean to Israel?

Ahead of the anniversary of Leḥi (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) leader Natan Yellin-Mor's passing, Yehuda HaKohen is joined by a Vision affiliated "Anonymous Soldier" to discuss the need for political education within Israel's national-religious camp.

Here is a pre-Pesach conversation with R' Yehuda HaKohen of the Vision Movement where we explore the narrative arc of the Passover story and the nature of freedom. Along the way we touch on the State of Israel's struggle to be free of foreign influence, and how every Jew can become more of who they truly are.

Win Win: A Radical Vision for Peace in the Middle East

On today's Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Rabbi Yehuda HaKohen from the Brit Hazon - Vision Alliance Movement. His movement's goal is to re-instill a sense of Zionism for Jews in Israel and around the world, which he says perhaps has faded since Israel's miraculous victory in the 1967 Six Day War.  Hear how HaKohen and his colleagues are intellectually inspiring and shaping the next generation of Jewish thinkers and leaders.

Israel Uncensored: Did Zionism Die in 1967?

It is a truism that struggle brings out unexpected powers from within us, and what's true in life is true in history as well. The struggle to liberate Soviet Jewry will be a formative element of our story for decades to come, so here is the first chapter.

One can look at life as one long string of decisions, whether for individuals or nations. Israel had a number of decisions to make in the wake of the Six Day War and none was more pressing than where to place the borders. Here is an episode about some of the factors in that decision - the Allon Plan and the return to Kfar Etzion - which helped shape the future.
