Episode #18: Eleora Moche-Epstein

Eleora Moche-Epstein grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, part of a family that was strongly Zionist. She went to Jewish schools, Jewish, Israel focused camp, and living what could be called the “usual” American Jewish upbringing. So what's the big deal, right? Of course, she'd wind up in Israel! But Eleora's story is anything but usual.  She and her family made Aliyah 12 years ago, and live in Jerusalem, and that’s where she and I sat recently to talk about her journey. Incidentally, it’s Eleora’s husband Benjy who wrote the song Kumah that is the theme of this podcast. You can find that song and many others of his by searching for Aspaklaria and Shirei Haleviim on Spotify. I highly recommend them.
