Hebraica is a weekly newsletter and podcast about Jerusalem and the world shaped by it. Through essays, conversations, and occasional dispatches, it explores Israel and the Near East from the inside out—the languages, beliefs, histories, peoples, and ideas that still shape events today. Written and hosted by Robert Nicholson.
