Rabbi Ron welcomes Faina Kukliansky, Chairwoman of the Jewish Community of Lithuania, for a profound conversation about history, identity, and resilience. A lawyer by training and the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Faina has dedicated her life to preserving Jewish memory while working toward a vibrant future for Lithuanian Jewry. Together, they explore the challenges of Holocaust remembrance, postwar trauma, antisemitism, cultural preservation, and the hope found in schools, synagogues, and interfaith bridges. This episode offers a rare, inside look at the struggle—and promise—of sustaining Jewish life in one of Europe’s most historic communities.
