Israel Education in a Post-October 7th World: Mourning and Celebrating Together

In the wake of October 7th, this year's observances of Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut feel different and carry a profound sense of weight.   How do we mark this time both inside and outside of Israel? How do we, as a community, channel our grief into collective remembrance, including all innocent lives lost? As Jewish leaders, these are just some of the questions we are actively thinking about as we begin to formulate the collective memory of the Jewish people during these holidays. Rabbi Shira Koch, Epstein, through wisdom and experience, helps shed light on how to move forward through this grief. This episode was produced by Dina Nusnbaum and Miranda Lapides.
