Allison Kaplan Sommer, Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

—Unsettling—

Settlers peaceably evacuate a wildcat West-Bank outpost in a compromise that may lead, someday, to their return. What does the compromise say about Israel’s new government?

—All President and Accounted For—

Reuven Rivlin was Israel’s president for seven stormy years. What is his legacy?

—Bi-Sockuals—

A shocking and controversial ruling about Hebrew grammar by the Academy for the Hebrew Language. But are they the boss of us?

All that and the uncategorizable genius of Masok!
