Rachel Goldberg-Polin: A Hostage’s Mother Fighting for His Freedom [Divergence 5/5]

Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel.

In this special episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rachel Goldberg-Polin—whose son, Hersh, was kidnapped by Hamas and is still held hostage in Gaza—about heading into Passover with our loved ones still captive.

Normally, Intergenerational Divergence feels like something of a choice. But now, Jewish families have been split apart by force. In this episode we discuss:

  • How do we foster a continued connection to the members of our family who are missing?
  • What difficult thoughts and questions will we bring to the Seder table this year?
  • What does it mean to express hope via the Pesach Seder amid these bitter times?
We hope wholeheartedly that this conversation about missing our children at the time of Passover will be made irrelevant and the hostages will soon return home.

Interview begins at 7:17.
