"This project was intentionally designed to exist outside of the news cycle.
I wanted to talk with people about what beliefs have shaped them and what questions have informed how they look at the world, and they didn't have to be wrapped up in a news event to justify that kind of conversation. But in a series about meaning and purpose and our collective humanity, it's really hard to ignore the war happening between Israel and Hamas.
Soon after Israel started airstrikes in Gaza in response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, we talked to a professor of Jewish studies at UCLA named David Meyer. It was a moving and nuanced conversation. Today we bring you an equally thoughtful voice".

I gave an up vote because this person seems to be authentic, but from the questions NPR asked it’s still difficult to gage how this person really is. Basically this whole article was about an attack by one nut against 3 Middle Eastern men. NPR asked no questions about all the atrocities Hamas committed that began this war.
It’s interesting that on the article he identifies their meetings are mostly quite, but that one can speak if they are moved by something. I would be interested to know if anyone said anything against the atrocities Hamas committed to start the war. We will never know because NPR didn’t ask the question.
