Orthodox Kids on the Secular College Campus
May 31, 202401:02:22Tap to summarizeIn episode 153 - recorded about two weeks ago - of the RZ Weekly Podcast, we tackle the pressing issue of how Orthodox Jewish students deal with overt antisemitism on secular college campuses. We discuss the harrowing experiences of many these students who have been singled out and threatened in response to the war in Gaza., and examine the challenges they face and the resilience many display in confronting prejudice. We also wonder whether Orthodox Jews should attend these institutions, considering the potential impact on their religious and personal lives, and what motivates Orthodox students to continue to flock to them even in the coming year.

Dealing with our (strong) feelings about the Chareidi Community
Feb 6, 202400:53:17Tap to summarizeIn this episode we do not discuss chareidim serving in the IDF. However, what we do discuss are our feelings towards the fact that chareidi yeshiva students are not serving in the IDF because they are learning Torah, while Religious Zionist yeshiva students are having their Torah learning cut short because they are needed on the battlefield. How do we respond to the fact that the learning of one group is seemingly valued less than the other? And, if chareidim are learning, we would certainly expect them all to be praying for the success of our soldiers. How do we react when some of their leaders suggest otherwise?

A Growing Rift?
Jan 30, 202400:58:37Tap to summarizeIn this episode of RZWeekly we examine the current emotional undertone within Israel and the related attitudes and daily experiences of Israelis, while comparing this with how many Jews in the diaspora – often under the influence of the general media - are relating to and interpreting current events in Israel. Given these differences, is the Jewish world united, or alternatively, following a period of unity across the global Jewish communities, are we seeing evidence of a growing rift?
