    A Cry for Moral Consistency

    The world’s response to Hamas’s brutal terror attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, has exposed a painful reality that many of us never wished to face. In this episode, Daniel Ohana and I explore the moral inconsistencies prevalent in the wake of the Israel-Hamas War. We examine the boundaries of free speech and activism versus performative activism. We relate intersectionality to our understanding of our political identities and argue why it is dangerous. We share conflicts we have faced and our nonnegotiable values. "A Cry for Moral Consistency" Article

    Three Jews, Ten Opinions

    The March for Israel on November 14, 2023, was the largest pro-Israel rally in United States history with over 290,000 people marching peacefully at the National Mall in Washington DC and over 250,000 participating online. The rally aimed to show solidarity with the state and people of Israel, condemn antisemitism, and demand the immediate and safe release of the hostages taken by Hamas. In this episode, Levi D’Amato and Ailee Shanes from the “Two Jews, 10 Opinions” podcast and I reflect on our experiences at the monumental rally. We discuss the struggles we are facing as Jewish student journalists and how far antisemitic media has gone. We share what Jewish pride means to us as well as what the state of Israel represents to the Jewish people worldwide. Thank you to the UF Hillel delegation for this incredible opportunity and Am Yisrael Chai! A resource list for the Israel-Hamas war Listen to the Two Jews, 10 Opinions podcast here.

    "Only in Israel" Anecdotes

    Over the last century, the media has misled the public by villainizing and politicizing the fight for Jewish survival. The Jewish nation has been threatened since the beginning of time, yet we have prevailed. Many believe that educating themselves through the news and research can give them an understanding of the complicated and lengthy history of the Middle East conflict and by extension, Israel and the Jewish people. What we cannot learn through textbooks is the culture and values surrounding a place and people. Listen as 30 friends from around the world share stories that highlight the beauty of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. From mundane normalities to perspective-shifting occurrences, people who visit Israel feel a strong sense of community and shared identity that they have never experienced anywhere else.

    “Only in Israel” Kivun Anecdotes

    When you live somewhere, you get a much better understanding of the culture and society than if you were just to visit. Being blessed with the opportunity to live abroad in Israel for the year has highlighted the beauty of a country of one people, a family. Listen as my friends and madrichim from around the world on my World Bnei Akiva program called Kivun share personal anecdotes about unique experiences they have had while in Israel.

    The Inner Child’s Interaction with Identity

    The question “Who are you?” has compelled many to set foot into long self-discovery journeys over several years or even decades. But what if it is more simple than we think? In this episode, I break down the concept of inner child and why is it important to understand ourselves and others through it. I reflect on how many people, including myself, find themselves drawn to what they loved doing as a child. Be kind to yourself and remember that everyone is a child inside.

    Energy and the 12 Laws of Karma

    Many people deem energy to be a sham or ludicrous while in reality, it is what our entire universe is comprised of. The conceptual idea of this episode has been in the works for over a year and now felt like the right time to talk about it. In this episode, I explore how energy and the 12 Laws of Karma manifest themselves in our daily lives. Each of the laws is profound enough to be explored and internalized on its own.

    The Concept of Silent Lovers

    Silent lovers have been finding their way into my life recently quite often. In this episode, I explain the concept of silent lovers and read letters people wrote me. If you have something nice to say, say it. Let people know how you feel and compliment a new person every day. Collect words of affirmation and praise you receive and look back on it whenever you feel down.

    If Not Now, When?

    Starting a completely new phase of life unlocked a new level of freedom I had never felt before. In this episode, I speak about the importance of having that freedom and how I have been putting my energy back into myself. Most of what it takes to do everything I dreamed of doing is believing that I can. And now I do.
