In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Elana Moskowitz, an educator at Michlelet Mevasseret Yerushalayim, about how her American Jewish upbringing shaped her life and worldview.
Moskowitz grew up Orthodox in America in the 1990s—alongside her brother David Bashevkin—before moving to Israel and joining a Haredi community in Jerusalem.
In this episode we discuss:
—What is the unique new contribution of American Judaism to the Jewish story? —What have been the successes and failures of Judaism on American shores? —How do familial and institutional influences shape the lives we believe we ought to lead?
Tune in to hear an inside conversation about the Bashevkin family and what it means to live in a medina shelchesed.
Interview begins at 19:40.
