Yehuda and Ilana Turetsky: Why Would an American Rabbinic Couple Move to Israel? [Israel & Diaspora 4/5]

This episode is sponsored by Eden Beit Shemesh. Contact Rina Weinberg at info@edenbeitshemesh.com for more details.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Yehuda Turetsky—a rosh mesivta of Yeshiva Sha’alavim—and Dr. Ilana Turetsky—a Yeshiva University faculty member supervising student-teachers in Israel—about their experience raising kids in Israel.

North American Orthodox Judaism has developed strong boundaries deciding who is in and who is out of the community. But, when we look to our friends in Israel, we find that our approach is by no means the only one. In this episode we discuss:

  • How does Israel’s Hardal community differ from America’s Centrist Orthodox community?
  • What do olim parents think of the way religion and politics are intertwined in Israel?
  • How has “flip-out” culture in gap-year programs evolved in recent decades?
Tune in to hear a conversation about understanding religious growth in ways that transcend “right” and “left.”

Interview begins at 11:41.

Rav Yehuda Turetsky is a rosh mesivta of Yeshiva Sha’alavim. After attending Shaalvim, he returned to Yeshiva University, where he received a B.A. in Psychology, M.S. in Jewish Education, and Semicha as a member of the Wexner Semicha Honors Program. He has published articles on a variety of topics, including Gemara, Medical Halacha, Jewish Education, and the Sociology of the Modern Orthodox community.

Dr. Ilana Turetsky is a faculty member at Azrieli Graduate School of Yeshiva University, teaching online courses and supervising student-teachers in Israel. She holds a Doctorate and Master’s degree from Azrieli Graduate School, a Bachelor’s degree from Stern College, and a Misrad HaChinuch Te’udat Hora’ah in Tanach Education from Herzog College.
