    Great podcast in Jewish issues, antisemitism, Israel and current events
    The host’s accent always makes me chuckle (being that I’m a NYer of course…). This podcast always makes me smile and discusses serious issues related to Jewish issues and antisemitism.

    Excellent Podcast Series! The Forgotten Exodus
    Your new series, The Forgotten Exodus, is so interesting and well done. The stories of Jews that lived in Arab lands are stories that need to be told. They lived in Arab lands since the beginning of time. They were important members of society and made huge contributions to their countries. They were expelled, they are all refugees. Thank you for covering such an important topic and doing it brilliantly. Look forward to listening to the entire series!

    Good source for the latest jewish news
    The podcast is pretty straightforward in explaining some of the biggest headlines in jewish news. It also runs interviews with various figures from the jewish world or figures pertaining to issues relevant to it. The interviews are nonpartisan and dispassionate, and allow the guests to tell their own story and answer questions from the host. Overall I'd definitely recommend it.

    So insightful
    Thank you for making these! They offer an interesting perspective on today’s world from a Jewish lens. Listening makes me think more and more about my Jewish identity, my role as a Jew, and how to bring everything together in my own life.

    They can’t see to get it right
    Every time I start listening to an episode I’m excited by the topics and disappointed by the hosts and the format. It’s condescending and shallow. The male host’s voice is so harsh I can’t listen to it. It’s unfortunate.

    The Podcast claims political centrality but is still leftist and eschews muscular, pro-Zionist policy. AJC persists in the delusion of negotiations and appeasement with the evil of Islamist antisemitism. AJC refuses to acknowledge that reason and negotiations with Iran, the PA, Hamas and Hizbollah are delusional. Presently there is no diplomatic solution. More time should be spent on unifying the Jewish world.

    “Disappointing” Has It Wrong
    The podcast is uniformly excellent. Disagreeing with “Disappointing,” I’ve heard Seffi Kogan speak live, and he understands fully the nature of Hamas. I also find his voice to be well-suited for a podcast; I say that as a subscriber to multiple podcasts. AJC Passport is well produced, Mr Kogan is a thoughtful, well-informed host, and there is a terrific pace to the interviews. I recommend AJC Passport to all who seek to expand their horizons as to the role of Jews and diplomacy in the world today.

    Disappointing
    The host does not have nice voice and his views are very biased. He should know that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
  • NessiefromNJ
    Thoughtful podcast with knowledgeable guests
    I listen every week to AJC’s passport to keep up with the important news of the week regarding Israel and Jewish topics from a reliable source. Seffi Kogan is a fantastic host and the AJC experts and other guests are always thoughtful and well informed. I don’t have time for all of the worthwhile articles I’d like to read, but it is easy to fit in this podcast.
