About this episode
The episode explores the vision of Jerusalem as a city of connection and responsibility, reflecting on the Jewish journey through the wilderness.
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.
