Hadas Hershkovitz: On Loss: A Husband, Father, Soldier [Loss 3/3]

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Hadas Hershkovitz, whose husband, Yossi, was killed while serving on reserve duty in Gaza in 2023—about the Jewish People's loss of this beloved spouse, father, high-school principal, and soldier.

In the second year of the war, we’re grappling not only with the depth of our losses, but with how to make meaning of them as we continue to live in their aftermath. In this episode, we discuss:
  • How has the loss of Hadas’s husband sparked a renewed urgency in her dedication to uplifting the Jewish People?
  • How do we confront the anger and blame we may feel toward others in the wake of collective tragedy?
  • How can we cultivate the positive thoughts and spiritual clarity needed to uphold our moral responsibilities in difficult times?
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation on what it means to transform Torah into a living song sung by the Jewish People.

Interview begins at 30:30
