Montana Tucker discusses debuting new song at Maccabiah Games
Montana Tucker, dancer, content creator, and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, is hosting the 2026 Maccabiah Games delegation parade and debuting an original song live in Jerusalem.<br /><br />Tucker, who has visited Israel nine times since October 7, 2023, sat down with the Jerusalem Post ahead of the opening ceremony to discuss what this moment means for the global Jewish community. "We truly do need this now more than ever," she said, explaining why she sees the Maccabiah as a direct counter-narrative to what she calls media distortion of Israel's image. She'll be performing her new single "We're Not Strangers," a unity anthem whose lyrics reflect the divisions she's witnessed both in Israel and across the world.<br /><br />Tucker's connection to Israel runs deep: her grandparents' experience as Holocaust survivors shaped her belief in Israel's significance, and it was that personal history that drove her to begin posting about the conflict on social media after October 7, eventually leading to her Maccabiah involvement. Former hostage Daniela Gilboa will also perform at the ceremony, making the opening an emotionally charged event that balances celebration with commemoration.

Can MDMA treat combat PTSD? Inside Israel's clinical trial
Six years ago, Dr. Anna Harwood-Gross and her team began designing one of the world's most ambitious psychedelic therapy trials, an Israeli study testing whether MDMA-assisted therapy could help soldiers with combat PTSD that hadn't responded to standard treatment.<br /><br />They received ethics approval in the summer of 2023. Their first drug delivery was scheduled for October. Then October 7 happened. In this conversation with Sam Halpern, Jpost's senior field reporter, Dr. Harwood-Gross, senior faculty at Ariel University and lead researcher at Herzog Medical Center, walks through the trial's protocol, the bomb-shelter logistics now built into every session, and the comparison arm her team has developed without psychedelics at all (SEAIT — Somatic, Experiential, Acceptance-based, Intensive Trauma therapy).<br /><br />She's candid about the early stage of the work, the academic boycotts complicating international collaboration, and what the FDA's recent refusal to approve MDMA-assisted therapy means for where the field goes next.<br /><br />A careful, hopeful, deliberately unhyped conversation with one of the researchers Israel will be hearing more from.

What does Jewish peoplehood mean in 2026?
74% of young Jews worldwide say they can positively shape their community, nearly twice the optimism rate of Jews over 60.<br /><br />After October 7, hostile campuses, and the Iran war, that wasn't the finding anyone expected. In this conversation, Dr. Shelley Kedar, Chief Impact Officer of The Jewish Agency for Israel, walks through the One People Report, the agency's first global survey of nearly 1,500 Jews across Israel and 18 countries, and what its data says about a generation rising into the moment.<br /><br />She discusses the toll on Israel's "serving generation" of reservists, the Jewish Agency's expanding camp and emissary programs (including 300 children of long-serving reservists heading to European camps this summer), and the widening Israel-Diaspora conversation.<br /><br />Kedar closes on the line that has become the report's unofficial thesis: "We shouldn't confuse unity with uniformity."
