Episode Description
What happens when the Israel of our prayers looks different from the Israel of our headlines? In this episode of Thoughts & Prayers, host Jessica Fisher explores how the creation of a Jewish state has transformed Jewish prayer, and how prayer shapes Israeli life. Through stories and reflections from Na’ama Levitz Applbaum, Tamar Elad-Appelbaum, Tomer Persico, and Akiva Mattenson, the episode asks how prayer might bridge instead of fracture Israeli society and help us glimpse the Jerusalem of our dreams within the Israel of today.
