  • Beha'alotcha 5786: The Edge of Belonging

    Beha'alotcha 5786: The Edge of Belonging
    May 24 2026
    What does it take to move from the edge of belonging into shared commitment? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Deborah Anstandig explore Parshat Beha’alotcha as the Jewish people prepare to begin their journey through the wilderness. Focusing on Moses’ invitation to Chovav to join the people, they reflect on what it means to stand at the edge of belonging—drawn toward a shared mission, yet uncertain about fully joining it. As the parashah unfolds with anxiety, disagreement, and tension at the edges of the camp, the conversation asks how communities make space for uncertainty while remaining committed to a collective journey.

  • Shavuot 5786: Beyond Obligation

    Shavuot 5786: Beyond Obligation
    May 17 2026
    What happens when we stop asking what’s required of us—and start asking what more we can do? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Daniel Reifman explore Megillat Ruth and the relationship between law and kindness. Through the choices of Ruth, Boaz, and the often-overlooked Orpah, they examine what it means to go beyond obligation and respond to others with generosity, loyalty, and moral courage. The conversation reflects on how Jewish law can shape a society of care—not only by defining what is required, but by encouraging us to notice opportunities for deeper human connection.

    What kind of Jerusalem are we hoping to build together? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Tovah Leah Nachmani reflect on Parshat Bamidbar and the meaning of Yom Yerushalayim. Framing the Jewish journey through the wilderness as an ongoing process of growth and becoming, they explore Jerusalem not only as a city, but as a vision of connection, responsibility, and shared purpose. The conversation asks how we can hold onto hope for Jerusalem’s future while creating space for difference and working toward a more connected society.
