About

I am the President of Shalem College in Jerusalem and host of the weekly podcast, EconTalk: Conversations for the Curious. All views here are my own and do not represent those of Shalem College.

I moved to Israel in June of 2021. What I write here is a chronicle of my experiences and thoughts in the aftermath of the war that began with the massacre of October 7, 2023. You can find my other writings and media at russroberts.info.

This substack is free of charge. You are free to pay if you wish. If you do so, I pledge to make a donation that is 1.25X larger to Shalem College to preserve the incentives of tax deductibility for you without the deduction. Shalem College is a unique educational experience growing the next generation of Israeli leadership. But please do subscribe. Again, no charge.
