Thank you so much for doing this podcast! As a Jew, I'm used to needing to be brave to step up for my values and stories, but it's so nice and validating to see you be brave and stick up for us too. So thank you so much for that. I am an American Jew living in Israel, and I keep my phone on at night just in case a siren goes off that I don't hear. My little brother doesn't want to sleep in his bed out of fear of missles, so he sleeps in our safe room bombshelter. There's still over 100 people being held hostage, and so much grief. It's super hard, and what people may not realize that it's not just about Israel, but the Jewish people as a whole. It effects everyone. I love how you brought up the holiday of Passover, because the main mitzvah of the holiday is "v'higadta l'bincha"- "You shall tell over to your son." The seder night is the time when one generation teaches the next generation of our past stories, the oppression that we've been through, and most of all, our resilience. So thank you for giving a voice to our story. 💙💙
Thank you so much for sharing all of this. Your story is in our hearts and we are so grateful to Rachel for helping us create the space for this conversation. I had never heard of "v'higadta l'bincha" and think it's just beautiful, right in line with what this podcast is about. Thanks again for sharing, it means a lot. -Ashley
