Torah to the People

Rabbi Jeff Dreifus and guest Josh Scharff, who's in his final year of rabbinical school at Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem, discuss Josh's formative years in St. Louis and at Yale, what led him to want to be an Israeli Reform rabbi, how he experienced the Hamas attacks of October 7th from Tel Aviv, the implications of this war for Israel's future, how this moment is experienced in the Jewish diaspora, and the roots of the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic response on college campuses and the American political left.
