In this poignant episode dedicated to Keshet (Hebrew for “rainbow”), Amy and Dor wrestle with the barbarism of the Re’im music festival massacre. 

Ahead of driving south for his funeral, Dor recounts the story of Keshet, a vibrant young man who was one of the 364 civilians murdered at the Nova Festival. They remark on the stark disparity between the hippie community Keshet was born into and raised in, and the harsh brutality of him being murdered at a peace festival. 

Amy and Dor discuss the importance of sitting with emotions, the podcast as a form of escapism, and the role of writing as a grounding practice during unprecedented times. 

Special thanks to Jonathan Gal for the recap. 

Recorded on October 12 (Day 6).
