Allyship with Rabbi Mike Moskowitz

Ariel Zwang, CEO of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee  talks with Dini about the American Jewish response to the crisis, how the nature of Jewish solidarity evolves over time and space, and what we need to learn from this moment about Jewish responsibility to one another and to the world around us. Then, Michaela Slutsky of the Jewish Education Project, a first generation Russian speaking American Jew of Ukrainian descent, reflects on the complexities of identity and belonging and how they are being challenged in this terrifying moment.
