Summary
In this episode of Behind the Bima, the Rabbis sit down with educator and author Yael Leibowitz to explore a question that is becoming harder to ignore: what happens when the Jewish people around the world are living in fundamentally different realities? Drawing on both her personal experience making aliyah and her deep engagement with Tanach, Yael examines how Ezra-Nehemiah grapples with a partial return to Israel, and what that model might suggest for today.
