Zvi is joined this week by Rabbi Dr. Meesh Hammer-Kossoy, who shares with us her insights into connecting our personal story to the story of the Jewish people, and doing so can give us the gift of gratitude and generosity. The conversation also delves into the topic of how our physical connection to the land can serve as a doorway to a more powerful spiritual connection.
