from The Israel Connection · host Beth El Congregation of Baltimore
Send us Fan MailFrom a life-altering mini-stroke in 2014 to the high-octane ice tracks of the Olympic circuit, Jared Firestone—known as the “Jewish Jet”—has redefined what it means to slide against the odds. In this gripping episode, host Esti Zenati sits down with the attorney-turned-Skeleton star to explore the grit and grace of representing Israel on the world stage. Jared opens up about the heartbreak of narrowly missing Beijing 2022, the technical mastery of the "push," and his renewed mission following October 7 to serve as a proud Zionist ambassador.
