We are at the point in the Jewish Calendar: Yom HaShoa, Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’Atzmaut, where the meaning and spiritual purpose of Jewish People-hood are at the center of our thoughts and aspirations. Join Rabbi Zvi Hirschfield for an exciting conversation with Marc Rosenberg, Director of pre-aliya at Nefesh B’Nefesh, where they reflect on different approaches to religious Zionism, and discuss how diaspora Jews are either connecting to or distancing themselves from Zionism and the State of Israel.
This Pardes Life sees Pardes teacher Rabbi Zvi Hirshfield gets up close and personal with fellow teachers and alumni talking about life, texts and Pardes. See www.elmad.pardes.org/thispardeslife for other episodes in this series.
