In this deeply moving episode of the Koren Podcast, Al Regel Ahat, we have the honor of sitting down with David, Asher, and Charlie Guedalia, as they share the remarkable story of their beloved son and brother, Yosef. Yosef's name has become synonymous with courage, sacrifice, and heroism. On that fateful day in Kfar Aza, Yosef fearlessly put himself in harm's way to save the lives of countless others. His selfless act of bravery serves as a shining example of the unwavering spirit of the Jewish people. As we approach Yom HaZikaron, a time of solemn reflection and remembrance, Yosef's memory burns brightly in our hearts. His legacy reminds us of the profound depths of love and sacrifice that define our nation. Throughout the episode, David, Asher, and Charlie share intimate stories of Yosef's life, his unwavering commitment to his family, to Judaism and learning Torah, and to his beloved wife Sinai. Their heartfelt words paint a poignant picture of a true hero, whose spirit continues to inspire and uplift us all. Join us as we honor the memory of Yosef Geudalia, a beacon of light in the darkness, and celebrate the remarkable legacy he leaves behind. ______________________________________________________________ | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout. If you would like to contact us you can reach us on social media @KorenPublishers or via email, at [email protected] | | The Koren Podcast was written and hosted by Aryeh Grossman and Alex Drucker and was edited and produced by Alex Drucker.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes halakha seems immovable but other times it seems flexible and full of workarounds?  We can't own hametz on Pesah so we just sell it to a non-Jew. First borns must fast on erev-Pesah, just make a siyum! Rabbi Daniel Feldman explores these topics and more in his new book Letter and Spirit: Evasions, Avoidance, and Workarounds in the Halakhic System. But these aren't just distinct mechanisms to make a halakhic lifestyle easier, they are part of a broader and beautiful framework for a Jew to connect with Hashem.

We are joined this week by one of the most recognizable faces (and eyebrows!) of world Jewry today.

Eylon shares some of the most shocking things he has had to answer to these past few weeks, what led him to his Holy work as the face of the Pro-Israel movement, what good public diplomacy looks like, how to take the fight to our enemies, and what keeps him going in the face of such stubborn opposition.    Listen now as Eylon Levy shares his Torah Al regel Ahat - standing on one leg.  ______________________________________________________________ Useful Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGmwJa33xU https://korenpub.com/products/frayed https://sapirjournal.org/war-in-israel/2023/11/the-war-against-the-jews/ | | Get 10% off your next order from www.korenpub.com with code PODCAST at checkout. If you would like to contact us you can reach us on social media @KorenPublishers or via email, at [email protected] | | | The Koren Podcast was written and hosted by Aryeh Grossman and Alex Drucker and is edited and produced by Alex Drucker.
