Join for free at SimchatTorahChallenge.orgIn this special Simchas Torah episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin—parents of murdered hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Hashem yikkom damo—about their relationship to Torah. For two years, we’ve been struggling with the paradox of how Simchas Torah has become eternally intertwined with October 7. So, at Koren’s celebration of Rabbi Sacks’s Humash, we could think of no two better people to talk to. In this episode we discuss:How can we find redemption specifically within our exile? How can we move on when we’ve been permanently broken? How can we work to live our lives through the lens of Torah? Tune in to hear a conversation about how Torah gives us strength and hope in even the darkest times. Interview was held on Sept. 8 and begins at 18:26. References:18Forty Podcast: “Chaim Saiman: Is Talmud the Jewish Constitution?”“The Inverted Halakhah of Simhat Torah” by Chaim SaimanParshat Beha'alotchaEzekiel 37Genesis 32:27The Koren Shalem HumashFor more 18Forty:NEWSLETTER: 18forty.org/joinCALL: (212) 582-1840EMAIL: [email protected]: 18forty.orgIG: @18fortyX: @18_fortyWhatsApp: join hereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support.
