Welcome to this week's Torah from Boca from Tel Aviv!
In this special episode, I’m recording from Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel. I had the privilege of joining a fellowship with rabbinical students from across denominations—Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, and non-denominational—as part of an immersive experience that brings future Jewish leaders into dialogue with Israeli society, its challenges, and its soul.
While in Tel Aviv, I sat down with my friend and colleague, Rabbi Leor Sinai—a fellow dreamer, educator, and passionate Zionist—for a deep and wide-ranging conversation. We spoke about what Zionism means today, especially in the wake of October 7; the power of Jewish peoplehood; the spiritual return we're witnessing in our communities; and what it means to love our people fiercely—even when we disagree.
We also talk Torah, of course—this week’s parashah, Bamidbar, and how every Jew is like a letter in the scroll of our people—indispensable and holy.
So whether you're in Boca, Jerusalem, or somewhere in between, join us as we unpack this moment in Jewish history—raw, real, and filled with purpose.
