Summary
Ezra sits down with Rabbi David Mivasair for a conversation on unlearning, responsibility, and what it means to live out ethical commitments in real time. They explore Connecting Gaza , a grassroots mutual aid project started by Rabbi Mivasair that provides direct support to families in Gaza, and reflect on the limits of traditional political advocacy compared to person-to-person action. The conversation touches on cognitive dissonance, ideological transformation, and the challenge of confronting deeply held beliefs around Zionism, identity, and justice. They close with a reflection on the tension of celebrating Passover in this moment, and the idea of stepping forward even when the outcome is uncertain.
