Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel.
In this special episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rachel Goldberg-Polin—whose son, Hersh, was kidnapped by Hamas and is still held hostage in Gaza—about heading into Passover with our loved ones still captive.
Normally, Intergenerational Divergence feels like something of a choice. But now, Jewish families have been split apart by force. In this episode we discuss:
- How do we foster a continued connection to the members of our family who are missing?
- What difficult thoughts and questions will we bring to the Seder table this year?
- What does it mean to express hope via the Pesach Seder amid these bitter times?
Interview begins at 7:17.
