What happens when a retired detective and a former Crown Court Judge look past the headlines and dive straight into the beating heart of Israel? You get Shalom From Tel Aviv.

Join lifelong friends Paul Maleary (a straight-talking, 30-year veteran detective) and Nigel Lithman KC (a razor-sharp retired Judge and King's Counsel) as they bring their unique legal, investigative, and deeply human perspectives to the table.

This isn't your standard current affairs podcast. As seasoned raconteurs, Paul and Nigel aren't afraid to tackle the complex, sensitive, and heavy-hitting issues that others shy away from. But they do it with a twist. Grounded in their deep affection for the region, they explore the side of Israel that the mainstream media often misses: a vibrant, all-embracing society that offers incredible opportunities to people from all walks of life, faiths, and backgrounds.

Expect a masterclass in storytelling, sharp banter, and a healthy dose of wit. Alongside the grit of major discussions, the duo serves up fascinating, lesser-known, and downright funny facts about the country’s history, culture, and daily life.

Pull up a chair for an unfiltered, enlightening, and entertaining journey through the stories and truths that define Tel Aviv and beyond.

A Conversation on Identity, Aliyah, and Modern Israel with Paul Maleary and Nigel Lithman KC

In this introductory segment of Shalom from Tel Aviv, host Paul Maleary speaks with co-host Nigel Lithman KC directly from Israel. The conversation explores Nigel’s personal journey of making Aliyah—the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to the Land of Israel—and his perspectives on the complex socio-political landscape following the events of October 7th.



Key Themes Discussed:

  • The Meaning of Aliyah: Nigel reflects on his background as a British Jew, his family connection to the Israeli national anthem, and what it means to claim an automatic right to return to Israel.
  • Life in Tel Aviv: Despite international perceptions of ongoing conflict, Nigel describes a highly diverse, democratic, and bustling local community where tech innovation thrives and various cultural backgrounds intersect daily.
  • Navigating Global Perceptions: The hosts discuss the terminology surrounding modern conflicts and the unique internal pressures faced by Israel as a democratic state under constant security scrutiny.
"Israel has lived in a state of war, more or less, since its birth... We are used to being with people, our friends, who all have kids in the army." — Nigel Lithman KC
