In this gripping conversation, Rabbi Hirsch—one of the most influential voices in American Judaism—breaks down the forces shaping Jewish identity today, from campus protests to generational shifts in Zionism.

It’s not every day that a Yom Kippur sermon goes viral—but Rabbi Ammi Hirsch’s did. His powerful message struck a nerve across generations: Why are so many young Jews distancing themselves from Israel? Have we raised a generation so committed to Tikkun Olam—repairing the world—that they’ve forgotten Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh lazeh—that all Jews are responsible for one another?

A must-listen episode for anyone who cares about the future of Jewish identity and Israel-Diaspora relations.
