Show Notes
In this episode, we dive into a provocative and deeply personal question: why is the Jewish community in Ireland disappearing? We trace the history from the vibrant "Jewbante" neighborhood in Cork to the current political climate in 2026, where Ireland has become one of the most vocally anti-Israel nations in the West. Through the lens of the Rosehill family’s journey and the closure of historic synagogues, we examine the shift from mutual respect to a culture of performative radicalism. Is the "land of a hundred thousand welcomes" still a home for its Jewish citizens, or has the writing on the wall become impossible to ignore? Join us as we discuss the mechanics of this hostility and the growing movement of Irish Jews making Aliyah to Israel.
