In this episode, I sit down with Paris-born Flemmish-American Jew, Will Van Den Broeck, who I was initially excited to interview because of the similarity of his last name to my non-Jewish husband's: Vanderzee. (Van Den Broeck meaning "from the creek" and Vanderzee meaning "from the sea").

But I was just as excited to dig in to his perspective on his own Jewish upbringing - having been raised between France, Belgium, and NY - and having spent time in Israel living in Lod, for Fellowships and a deeper understanding of Israeli/Arab/Palestinian relations within and without.

Join us for a dynamic conversation discussing interfaith relationships, Israel's intermarriage law and the meaning of "democracy", tradition vs. modern interpretation, what it means to be a "secular Jew" in Israel, deep love for the country despite "Separation of Synagogue and State," unfiltered midrash on the previous episode on Jewish Indigeneity - and a variety of other passionate tangents.
