Rachel Goldberg-Polin: podcast appearances and interviews

Rachel Goldberg-Polin is an American-Israeli activist affiliated with Yeshiva University. She gained prominence following the October 2023 attacks when her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin was abducted by Hamas during the Re'im Music Festival. Her advocacy efforts became highly visible as she, along with her husband, sought to raise awareness about the plight of Israeli hostages. Goldberg-Polin met with several world leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden and Pope Francis, to advocate for the release of hostages and address the crisis. Her activism intensified after her son was murdered by Hamas in August 2024; his body was recovered from Gaza on August 31. Her work underscores her dedication to her family and her broader efforts to influence international responses to the ongoing conflict.
