About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of standing openly as Jews and the roles individuals play in ensuring the survival and flourishing of Jewish life.
Perhaps this is our Esther moment. A moment to stand openly as Jews. A moment to protect one another. A moment to refuse fear and refuse silence. Each of us has a role to play—large or small—in ensuring that Jewish life not only survives, but continues to flourish with pride and courage. Because Jewish history has always asked the same question of every generation: If not us, who? And if not now, when?
