The last year has been one of the darkest in Israeli and Jewish history. Many have been glued to the news and social media hoping for even a morsel of good news. As important as it is to stay connected to Israel through current events and history, there are other connection points that can nurture a love of Israel. Apart from the news, Israeli music, movies, food, comedy, etc. all offer opportunities to deepen a love for Israel. That's where Sababoosh comes in. Conversations with Israel's cultural movers and shakers. Website: www.sababoosh.com

Bridging the Divide: Religion, Secularism, and Unity in Israel w/ Chairman of Tzohar Rabbi David Stav

In this episode of Sababoosh, Jake sits down with Rabbi David Stav, the chairman of Tzohar.

They explore the complex relationship between secular and religious Jews in Israel, discussing key issues like marriage laws, Shabbat observance, and military service.

Rabbi Stav offers insights into how Tzohar works to bridge these divides through inclusive religious services and fostering dialogue.

The episode dives into both the tensions and the common ground shared by these communities, with reflections on the impact of significant events such as the October 7th conflict on Israeli social dynamics.
