141. Israel and the Olympics

Talking Tachlis Podcast

You watching the Olympics? We are...kinda. This week, after their regular Ben & Jerry's segment (they can't stop!), Uri and Rivky talk about #sports. Specifically, the Olympics! Is it weird that many of the Israeli athletes aren't really, ya know, Israeli? They also discuss the Iranian defector who dedicated his medal to Israel, and the Palestinian-American sprinter, Hanna Barakat.
