Izzy Ezagui, the only soldier in the world to return to combat with one arm, joins Rabbi Ron for a gripping, deeply human conversation about war, faith, identity, and recovery. From his Miami upbringing to surviving a direct rocket strike on the Gaza border, Izzy recounts the physical and spiritual battles that shaped him. With humility and clarity, he reflects on trauma, service, atheism, purpose, and the unexpected power of community, storytelling, and ritual. A powerful exploration of what it means to serve — and to live — with intention.
