    Rebbi, I Have a Question! 09

    Episode 09: Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut: How Should We Relate? SHOW NOTES This episode addresses a question many alumni struggle with: how to relate to Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut. Many who went through Shapell’s and Midreshet Rachel v’Chaya developed an appreciation for the State of Israel and for the IDF. At the same time, many now find themselves in communities where these days are not marked at all. Even within Israel, there is a wide range of approaches. Some communities do not observe these days, while others mark them in meaningful ways, and for some they are central to the year. That leaves many people unsure how to think about it. Is this a hashkafic question, a halachic one, a communal one, or a personal one? And what do you do when your instincts don’t align with your environment? In this episode, Rabbi Shurin offers a framework to help think through these questions with clarity. EPISODE TOPICS • The background behind different approaches to Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut • How the religious landscape developed and whether it has shifted over time • Relating to Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut in a serious and meaningful way • How to formulate your own approach ABOUT THE PODCAST Rebbi, I Have a Question is a podcast from Shapell’s and Midreshet Rachel v’Chaya. Host Dana Margolis brings real questions from students and alumni to Rabbi Yitzchak Shurin, who draws on Torah wisdom, decades of experience, and the teachings of his grandfather, Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky zt”l, to address the challenges of modern Jewish life.

    Episode 8: Living Through War (again): Chizuk, Perspective, and Staying Connected SHOW NOTES This episode was recorded during the current war in Israel. Our goal was simple: to offer chizuk and perspective to our students and alumni living through this moment in very different ways. Rabbi Shurin and Rebbetzin Esther Shurin share thoughts for those living in Israel right now, guidance for alumni and friends living outside of Israel who want to respond thoughtfully, and a broader Torah perspective that can help frame the times we are living through. RESOURCES MENTIOND IN THE EPISODE: Rabbi Shurin referenced this article: https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-889276 Rebbetzin Shurin mentioned this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv-Wk22YXqE&t=8s SUPPORTING FRIENDS IN ISRAEL: If you want to send a small gesture of support to friends or family in Israel, a simple option is a gift card for food delivery through Wolt. It is widely used across Israel and can be a practical way to let someone know you are thinking about them. https://wolt.com STAY CONNECTED: If you have a question you would like Rabbi Shurin to address on a future episode, email questions@darchenoam.org.
