This podcast is about us, you and I, talking. To each other. About how we are being Jewish in the world today and our relationship to Israel. Each episode starts with a bit of Jewish Geography – where and how did we grow up Jewish and how has that changed – or not – over time? And then we dig in to how we are feeling in this post October 7 world – how has it affected us and our relationship to Judaism and to Israel?
