Cabaret Total: Roy Assaf Against the Silence — A Movie Review

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

dimanche 20 septembre 2026 • Durée 54:45

Directed, written, and starring Roy Assaf, Cabaret Total is a darkly satirical drama about wartime conformity, combat trauma, censorship, and the difficulty of confronting disillusionment.

The film follows Assi, a traumatized combat reservist who returns from active duty to an arid southern development town. After a video of his angry warning to high school students against romanticizing war goes viral, he is publicly condemned and suspended from teaching.

Assi refuses to apologize. Instead, he transforms his frustration and disillusionment into a grotesque underground cabaret staged in the town’s municipal cultural hall. As the performances gain notoriety, artists, politicians, and cultural figures from Israel’s center descend on the neglected periphery, turning the obscure town into an unlikely political battleground.

At its core, Cabaret Total examines societal silencing, combat trauma, masculinity, and arrested emotional maturity.

Assaf combines the political irreverence of Weimar-era Kabarett with the caustic satire of Hanoch Levin and the grotesque, dreamlike spectacle of Fellini.

Assi’s smeared white face paint becomes a form of Narrenfreiheit—the traditional “license of the fool” to say what others cannot—allowing him to voice anti-militarist truths that polite civilian society would rather suppress.

The film’s visual and theatrical approach reinforces its central tension between reality and performance: war is presented not only as a physical experience but as a national mythology that demands participation. Cabaret becomes both refuge and weapon, transforming personal trauma into public provocation.

Cabaret Total won Ophir Awards for cinematography and makeup. An independent Israeli-Kosovar co-production, the film has also encountered the difficult international festival environment surrounding Israeli cinema in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks.

Bob Dylan: The Jewish Soul Behind the Songs

Saison 1 · Épisode 18

jeudi 17 septembre 2026 • Durée 34:14

Bob Dylan’s relationship with Judaism is best understood not as a linear history of religious observance, but as a lifelong spiritual, cultural, and poetic consciousness.

Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941 and raised in a Jewish family in Minnesota, Dylan absorbed the language, imagery, and moral imagination of the Hebrew Bible from an early age. Even during his secular folk and rock period of the 1960s, biblical prophecy remained one of his central artistic frameworks, providing a vocabulary through which he confronted injustice, war, alienation, and moral corruption.

Dylan’s spiritual trajectory became more complicated in the late 1970s, when he underwent a highly publicized conversion to evangelical Christianity. Yet from a traditional Jewish perspective, conversion to another religion does not erase Jewish status: according to halakhah, a Jew remains Jewish regardless of subsequent religious affiliation. By the early 1980s, Dylan had also begun publicly reconnecting with Jewish life.

He became associated with Chabad-Lubavitch, encountered Hasidic teachings, traveled to Israel, and celebrated his son Jesse’s bar mitzvah at the Western Wall.

His later work therefore cannot easily be divided into “Jewish” and “Christian” periods. Instead, Dylan’s songwriting increasingly reveals a layered religious imagination in which biblical Judaism, Christianity, Hasidic thought, and modern existentialism overlap. Songs such as “I and I” and “Neighborhood Bully” can be read through themes of covenant, exile, Israel, identity, judgment, and the fractured human self. Rather than functioning as straightforward theological statements, these songs transform religious symbols into poetic questions about belonging, suffering, history, and redemption.

This complexity is perhaps the most important feature of Dylan’s religious identity. His Judaism is not simply a matter of institutional affiliation or ritual observance; it is embedded in his language, imagination, biblical consciousness, and persistent engagement with the problem of God. Across decades of changing beliefs and artistic reinvention, Dylan repeatedly returns to the Hebrew Bible as a source of prophecy, confrontation, mystery, and meaning. His spiritual journey is therefore less a story of leaving Judaism and returning to it than an unfinished dialogue with the Jewish scriptural tradition—one continually reshaped by Christianity, Hasidism, Israel, modernity, and the ambiguities of the human soul.

Dor LeDor — from generation to generation.

What does it mean to inherit a story you did not begin, and to carry it into a future you will never see?

Jewish history is more than a record of ancient kingdoms, migrations, persecutions, rabbis, artists, thinkers, and dreamers. It is a conversation across time — between the living and the dead, between memory and forgetting, exile and home, faith and doubt.

For thousands of years, Jews have carried their past not simply as history, but as a question: Who are we, and what are we becoming?

Dor LeDor explores the people, ideas, places, traditions, and encounters that shaped Jewish civilization — and the deeper questions hidden within them.

Because history is never only about what happened.

It is about what we remember.
What we choose to preserve.
What we allow ourselves to forget.
And what we hand to the next generation.

This is Dor LeDor - Jewish History and Culture, from generation to generation.

Lior Raz: The Man Behind Fauda

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 27:20

Lior Raz is an Israeli actor, writer, and creator whose own experiences became the foundation for the internationally acclaimed television series Fauda. Raised in Jerusalem in an environment where Arabic was spoken at home, Raz later served in Duvdevan, an elite IDF undercover unit whose operatives infiltrate Palestinian communities while disguised as Arabs.

After his military service, Raz moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodyguard before returning to Israel to pursue acting. He studied classical theater, worked in advertising, and gradually established himself as an actor. His career took a decisive turn when he reconnected with journalist Avi Issacharoff.

Together, Raz and Issacharoff created Fauda—Arabic for “chaos”—drawing on their firsthand knowledge of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the world of undercover operations. The series explores the psychological burden of living under a false identity while portraying both Israeli and Palestinian characters as complex human beings. Palestinian characters, in particular, are given lives beyond the conflict, including families, relationships, ambitions, and personal struggles.

Fauda initially faced rejection from major Israeli networks. Raz also had to audition for the role of Doron Kavillio, the protagonist he had helped create. The series ultimately became a major Israeli television success, winning numerous Israeli Television Academy Awards before gaining an international audience through Netflix. It became particularly popular across the Arab world, reaching the top of Netflix's rankings in several Arab countries.

The success of Fauda transformed Raz into an internationally recognized actor and opened the door to Hollywood productions. He subsequently appeared in films and television projects including Michael Bay’s 6 Underground and Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II.

Raz’s career is therefore unusual: the experiences that once defined his military life became the raw material for a fictional world that carried an intensely local Israeli story onto the global stage.

Matti Friedman: The IDF Soldier Who Returned to Lebanon

Saison 1 · Épisode 16

dimanche 13 septembre 2026 • Durée 35:01

Matti Friedman is a Toronto-born Israeli journalist who served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from 1998 to 2000. During his service, he was deployed to Outpost Pumpkin, a fortified hilltop position in Israel’s southern Lebanon Security Zone. When Israel withdrew from Lebanon in May 2000, the outpost was demolished to prevent its fortifications from falling into enemy hands, leaving behind little more than shattered concrete and debris.

Friedman’s Canadian citizenship later gave him an unusual freedom. After studying Middle Eastern history and Arabic at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he used his Canadian passport to enter Lebanon legally as a civilian tourist in autumn 2002—something that would have been far more difficult for an Israeli citizen. Traveling through Beirut, Tripoli, and Baalbek, he eventually made his way back to the ruins of Outpost Pumpkin, approaching the former military position from the civilian north rather than the militarized southern frontier.

Unarmed and dressed in sneakers and a T-shirt, Friedman climbed the hill and encountered the remains of the position he had once defended: overgrown concrete fortifications and spent brass shell casings scattered among the ruins.

His journey also brought him into contact with Lebanese civilians who, despite their hostility toward Israel, often treated him with unexpected warmth and hospitality. These encounters complicated his understanding of the people he had once regarded primarily as enemies.

Friedman later transformed these experiences into his acclaimed 2016 memoir, Pumpkinflowers. The book uses his memories of Outpost Pumpkin and the wider Lebanon conflict to examine the psychological legacy of a forgotten low-intensity war—and how the Israeli experience in Lebanon became an early laboratory for the asymmetric warfare that would increasingly define modern conflicts.

Rosh Hashanah Escape: The Rescue of Denmark’s Jews in 1943

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:01:44

In September 1943, as Denmark’s status as a relatively autonomous “model protectorate” under Nazi occupation collapsed, German authorities prepared to deport the country’s approximately 7,800 Jews.

The planned roundup was scheduled for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. But Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, a German diplomat who had become increasingly opposed to Nazi policies, secretly informed Danish political leaders of the impending deportation.

On the eve of the holiday, Rabbi Marcus Melchior alerted his congregation at Copenhagen’s Great Synagogue. Religious services were suspended, and families were urged to leave their homes immediately and seek refuge with friends, neighbors, and sympathetic Danes.

What followed was an extraordinary grassroots rescue effort. Hospitals admitted Jewish refugees under false names. Danish police officers refused to assist with the raids. Families opened their homes, hiding Jewish neighbors in apartments, churches, hospitals, and other places of refuge.

Over the following weeks, Danish fishermen and boat captains transported approximately 7,200 Jews, along with around 700 non-Jewish spouses, across the narrow Øresund Strait to neutral Sweden, which had offered asylum. Only 472 Jews were captured and deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto. Sustained pressure from Danish authorities, combined with food and humanitarian packages sent to the prisoners, contributed to the survival of the great majority.

When the survivors returned to Denmark in May 1945, many discovered that their homes and belongings had been carefully protected by their neighbors. In some cases, keys had been preserved, possessions left untouched, and even pets cared for during their absence.

The rescue of Denmark’s Jews stands as one of the most remarkable episodes of collective resistance during the Holocaust—not because it was organized by a single heroic institution, but because thousands of ordinary people chose to protect their neighbors at extraordinary personal risk.

Menasseh ben Israel: The Amsterdam Rabbi Who Reopened England to the Jews

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

mercredi 9 septembre 2026 • Durée 29:19

Menasseh ben Israel (1604–1657), born Manoel Dias Suero, was a Portuguese-born Sephardic rabbi, scholar, publisher, and diplomat who became one of Amsterdam’s most influential Jewish intellectuals. In 1626, he established Northern Europe’s first Hebrew printing press, producing finely crafted Hebrew books with distinctive typefaces that influenced Jewish publishing for generations.

A remarkable intermediary between rabbinic Judaism and Christian Hebraism, he corresponded with leading European intellectuals such as Hugo Grotius, advised Queen Christina of Sweden, and maintained a close artistic association with Rembrandt.

Menasseh’s intellectual life was deeply shaped by messianic expectation. In his 1650 treatise, The Hope of Israel, he argued that the worldwide dispersion of the Jewish people was connected to the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and the approach of the Messianic Age.

He paid particular attention to reports of Jews living among distant peoples and argued that the dispersion had to reach the “ends of the earth” before redemption could occur. England therefore acquired a special significance in his thinking, both as a distant land and as a potential final destination of Jewish dispersion.

In 1655, Menasseh traveled to England and petitioned Oliver Cromwell to permit Jews to return after centuries of exclusion. Although Parliament never enacted a formal law of readmission, the ensuing legal debate established that no statute explicitly prohibited Jews from settling in England. Cromwell subsequently permitted a practical, de facto toleration: Jews were able to settle, trade, worship privately, and establish a cemetery in London.

Menasseh’s mission thus helped lay the foundations of the modern Anglo-Jewish community and became one of the most consequential episodes in the history of seventeenth-century Jewish diplomacy.

Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu: The Warrior-Philosopher

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

lundi 7 septembre 2026 • Durée 30:10

Born in New York City in 1946 to Tzila Segal and historian Benzion Netanyahu, Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu was the eldest of three brothers. He spent his childhood between Jerusalem and Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, where he attended high school alongside future baseball star Reggie Jackson. Initially torn between academia and military service, he briefly studied philosophy and mathematics at Harvard University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem before choosing a lifelong career in the Israel Defense Forces.

Yoni enlisted in the IDF Paratroopers Brigade in 1964 and fought in the Six-Day War of 1967, where he was seriously wounded in the elbow. He later joined the elite Sayeret Matkal commando unit, taking part in a series of covert operations. During the Yom Kippur War in 1973, he commanded a reconnaissance battalion and distinguished himself under fire by rescuing a wounded tank commander. For his actions, he received the Medal of Distinguished Service, Israel’s third-highest military decoration.

In 1975, Yoni was appointed commander of Sayeret Matkal. A year later, he led the ground assault element of Operation Entebbe, the extraordinary Israeli mission to rescue more than 100 hostages held at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. On July 4, 1976, as his unit stormed the terminal, Yoni was fatally shot while leading his men. He was the only Israeli soldier killed during the assault.

His death transformed him into a national symbol of courage and sacrifice. His letters and personal writings were later published as The Letters of Jonathan Netanyahu, revealing a more introspective figure behind the commander: a man deeply concerned with morality, responsibility, leadership, and the meaning of sacrifice. His legacy endures not only as that of an elite soldier, but as the archetype of the Israeli “warrior-philosopher.”
