The Memories We Hold: How October 7 Has Forever Changed Us

18Forty Podcast

In this special episode of the 18Forty Podcast, in honor of the anniversary of October 7, we revisit and reflect on the conversations we’ve had that have helped us process this tumultuous time.

The past year has been long and painful, and we’ve been constantly reminded that the trajectory of Jewish history is still at stake. This makes it imperative for us to examine our lives and our relationship to God and to the Jewish People during these Ten Days of Repentance. In this episode we discuss:

  • What is the role of memory in the Jewish experience, and what are the memories of October 7 that we will hold with us? 
  • How has the terror attack altered the way we live and the way we understand the world?
  • How have our theological and ideological beliefs developed over the past year?
Tune in to hear a conversation about what it means to be a Jew during this consequential period in the Jewish story.
