    The Rabbi Expelled From Gaza | Rav Noam Koenigsberg

    𝗦𝗵𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘇𝗶𝗻' 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 #𝟭𝟱 After years of deep Torah study in an Israeli yeshiva, in the late 90s American born 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶 𝗡𝗼𝗮𝗺 𝗞𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗴𝘀𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴 moved with his young family to a flourishing religious Jewish community in Gaza. Then, in the year 2000 everything changed, the second intifada began and life in Gush Katif was never the same again. By 2005 Jewish presence in Gaza was completely eradicated following the Israeli government's fateful disengagement policy. In this highly emotionally charged episode, Rav Noam and I discuss the impact of his strong religious Zionist upbringing, his making aliyah, Gush Katif experiences and what it was like in those dark days of disengagement which culminated in him literally being dragged from his home by Israeli security forces. Sad but true unfortunately. Amongst many fascinating spiritual topics, we delve into the foundational Jewish mindset of 'emunah' - faithfulness to God and its true meaning. We hope this show inspires and uplifts you as it did me.
