Watch the full episode here! In this episode of The Rabbi and The Other Guy, Rabbi Daniel Septimus and Dr. Matt Schocket chat with Rebecca Caspi, Senior Vice President of Global Operations at The Jewish Federations of North America. Rebecca discusses her journey from growing up in a secular Jewish family in New York City to building a life and career in Israel. Together, they explore the cultural connections—and the meaningful differences—between American and Israeli Jewry, the scope of JFNA's work on the ground in Israel, and how this year’s Passover felt deeply different in a nation still healing nearly two years after October 7th. It’s a candid, heartfelt conversation about identity, resilience, and what it means to be part of a global Jewish family.
