Episode #7: Dr. Dodi Tobin ז"ל

Dr. Dodi Tobin was a Jewish educator who taught for the Matan Women's Institute for Torah Studies. She grew up in Skokie, Illinois, and then, following her first five years of marriage to her husband, Marc, they made Aliyah together with three of their four children. Dodi was part of the founding team of Nefesh B’Nefesh, has been teaching Torah for almost 20 years, and, as you will hear, was passionate about teaching others about living life authentically.  Before her tragic death, Dodi lived with Marc and their family in Bet Shemesh, and that’s where I sat with her to Return Again to her Aliyah story. 00:00 - Intro 01:51 - Childhood 06:58 - The Search for an Authentic Life Begins 17:00 - Finding Marc...
