  • A great podcast

    I heard about this when I was live streaming the Park Avenue Synagogue services. Listening to Rabbi Cosgrove is a great comfort to me in these challenging times and I’m excited that I can now hear him every week (I’m a remote member, living in Michigan).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Questions to Convictions: Judea Pearl on Zionophobia and Coexistence
Q: What does Zionophobia mean in Pearl's framework for understanding anti-Jewish hostility?
Zionophobia is the central phenomenon Pearl uses to explain why anti-Semitism intensifies when Israel is vulnerable; it reframes traditional anti-Semitism as rooted in resistance to Jewish self-determination and sovereignty rather than solely in hatred of Jews.
Siach Shalom: Talking Internal Peace for Israel’s Independence
Q: How do participants describe the impact of these dialogues?
Participants report that conversations move beyond mere disagreement, expanding to two coexisting truths and a strengthened sense of shared humanity, which can endure even during crises like conscription or war.
Siach Shalom: Talking Internal Peace for Israel’s Independence
Q: What is Siach Shalom trying to achieve within Israeli society?
They aim to heal internal divides by bringing unlikely partners into a structured dialogue that changes how they relate to each other, even if it doesn't change all opinions, ultimately expanding empathy and solidarity.
Passover, Responsibility, and Repair: World Jewish Relief in Action
Q: What motivates your involvement and can you share a personal story that illustrates the mission in action?
Maurice shares his family's Holocaust survivor history and how his father's experiences shaped a lifelong commitment to helping refugees and building resilience in communities abroad and at home.
Passover, Responsibility, and Repair: World Jewish Relief in Action
Q: World Jewish Relief is described as a bridge between Jewish identity and universal humanitarian aid; how do you articulate the distinction within the broader ecosystem of relief organizations?
We complement each other with JDC and AJWS; our work is not exactly the same, and we focus on making each dollar count by partnering with front-line organizations to maximize impact, including trauma relief in Israel and Ukraine.
