A new YouTube channel

Today Unpacked

Rising above the noise and taking a stand on Israeli and Jewish current events

About the project

The Today Unpacked YouTube channel answers the need for non-partisan clarity in a hyper-partisan world. Offering context and perspective on the breaking news cycle of Israel and Jewish current events, the channel’s short videos offer thoughtful analysis, balanced discourse and honesty.

The channel invites viewers on a journey beyond narrow echo chambers to reach nuanced insights on the Jewish community’s shared identity, Israel and Zionism.

From the contentious debate behind the protests on judicial reform in Israel, to finding the “truth” in George Santos’ conflicting Jewish narratives, the channel leans into the moment – gaining vital algorithmic traction on YouTube to drive reach and impact.

Don’t take our word for it!

"Really love this - thanks for defining the essence of what it means to be Jewish. No wonder Santos wanted to be one of us!!"
– YouTube viewer
"Great video. You made an important but dry topic like democratic mechanisms interesting and your points at the end need to be said more in every political debate."
– YouTube viewer
"Very much appreciate this nuanced approach to thinking about the significance of Ben Gvir’s Temple Mount visit"
– YouTube viewer

This project includes the weekly production and release of a video on the Today Unpacked channel and in a weekly newsletter. Video content will also be released on the Unpacked social media channels.
