• For All Those In Need: Agriculture, Innovation, and Working for Food Justice

  The planet Earth may not be able to support the billions who call it home. Even in the wealthiest countries, too many people are hungry. We zoom in on the Jewish experience of issues connected with food justice – from the days of the Bible and before, to modern Israeli food innovation, and including the non-profits striving to provide those in need with that most basic of rights – the right to go to sleep and wake up without hunger. Our special guest today is Joseph Gitler, the founder of Leket – a leading NGO aspiring to implement Jewish values around food access towards a healthier society in body and soul.Links for Additional Reading (And Ways For You To Help…)Latet - Combating poverty and food insecurity in IsraelLeket Israel - Rescuing nutritious surplus food for those in needPantry Packers - Providing nutritional support to Israel's neediest familiesFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn!

• The Divine Peak: Hermon’s Sacred Snowy Secrets

This single, towering peak bears the weight of countless narratives — stories of history, culture, faith from ancient times until today. Hermon is not just a place to go skiing; it’s a place where the sacred intersects with the strategic, where ancient traditions meet the present day, and where diverse communities—Jewish, Druze, Christian, and Muslim—leave their imprints on its slopes.
