## Resource

In this episode of Behind the Bima, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg and Rabbi Philip Moskowitz sit down with Yehuda Lapian to explore the reality behind Israel’s religious and secular divides. Drawing from his own journey growing up across different Jewish worlds... and even trying to leave Judaism behind... Lapian reflects on identity, belonging, and why Israel’s social labels rarely capture the full story.
