Today on the show, we welcome Dr. Noam Weissman, Executive Vice President of OpenDor Media, where he leads a team of producers and educators to reach millions of young Jews yearly through articles, videos, and social media about Israel and the Jewish people. As the host of Unpacking Israeli History, the #1 Jewish podcast, he’s known for breaking down complex historical narratives with honesty, nuance, and a touch of humor.
In today’s conversation, he brings that same clarity and candor to a more personal level. We talk about how he actively works to confront his own biases and tribal instincts, the challenges of teaching history in an increasingly polarized world, and why he believes that intellectual honesty is the key to meaningful discourse. He also reflects on the past year—both professionally and personally—with his signature mix of humor, and thoughtfulness.”*
With a doctorate in Educational Psychology from USC and years of experience as an educator and school principal, Noam is deeply committed to helping students—and all of us—navigate history without falling into ideological traps.
