  • Molly Livingston – Host

For her the horror is not the Iran threat, but the threat of the guy sitting next to her on the bus without deodorant. Or the grandma in line who will push her violently. Or hearing those dreaded words, yiyeh besder. Life in Israel is full of humor and it improves one’s life to know it.
