Promised Land: It’s Complicated

What happened on October 7 changed everything for Israelis. We visit Kfar Aza to understand why.

Introducing … “Promised Land,” a Bulletin miniseries.

“Promised Land” is a limited series exploring the moral, spiritual, and political challenges presented by the Israel-Hamas war. Host Mike Cosper (The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill) takes listeners with him to locations across the US, Israel, and Palestine, bringing you into the homes, lives, and stories of people for whom this conflict is their everyday experience.

In this episode, we visit Kfar Aza, a kibbutz on the border with Gaza that suffered some of the worst attacks on October 7. Hear from soldiers and survivors, get a glimpse of Israeli culture (that might just surprise you), and begin to ask what comes next.
