Heroes And Symbols – with Matti Friedman
Q: How do the parachutists' personal choices contrast with how they're remembered?
They were real people with flaws and diverse motives, but the memory project around them emphasizes courage and action, sometimes eclipsing the complexities of their individual stories.
Heroes And Symbols – with Matti Friedman
Q: What drew you to study Hannah Senesh and the parachutists in depth?

Lighten Up – with Michael Rapaport
Q: What is one good piece of advice you'd share with the world?
Be your own biggest fan and your own biggest critic, and learn to acknowledge both good and bad moments to grow personally and professionally.
Lighten Up – with Michael Rapaport
Q: What have you been asking Chat GPT lately?
Rapaport talks about using ChatGPT to draft emails in his own voice, while keeping control over tone and authenticity, and expressing caution about over-reliance on AI for thinking and writing.
Remembering Daniel – with Rabbi Doron Perez
Q: Rabbi Doron Perez, can you tell us who Daniel was and how you want him remembered?
Daniel is remembered as a beloved son, an energetic and loyal friend, a capable tank commander who put others first, and a man driven by a deep sense of personal responsibility to defend the Jewish people; his life is celebrated through stories of courage, camaraderie, and the enduring impact he had on friends and comrades.
