Listener feedback

“I first discovered Unpacked through the Unpacking Israeli History podcast, which immediately stood out to me as uniquely honest and even-handed in its coverage of Israel’s early and recent history. I have since discovered an entire universe of incredible Unpacked content – from their videos to written articles to additional podcasts. I have come to cherish so many things about Unpacked’s work – from the care with which the team approaches challenging and sensitive topics, to their perfect blend of education and entertainment. Most importantly, Unpacked has offered me empowerment – empowerment to engage more deeply with my own Jewish identity, and to appreciate the rich historical and cultural context that comes with it.”

The work you are doing is very much appreciated. I’ve shared so many of these podcasts with my family and we’ve all been learning.”
