In this episode of Jewish Crossroads, host Tamar Ish Shalom sits down with Avi Issacharoff, co-creator of the internationally acclaimed television series Fauda. Avi is a journalist, author, and one of Israel’s leading commentators on the Arab world.
With millions of viewers across the globe, Fauda has become a cultural phenomenon, bringing the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to audiences from Europe and the United States to Asia and the Arab world. In its fifth season, creators Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz made a bold and controversial decision to dedicate two episodes to the events of October 7.
Tamar and Avi discuss the challenges of bringing October 7 to the screen, the responsibilities of storytelling in the aftermath of national trauma, and the extraordinary international success of Fauda. They also explore the intersection of journalism, fiction, and the realities of the Middle East, alongside the upcoming Israeli election.
