Adrienne Gold Davis sits down with Dr. Zohar Raviv, internationally recognized Jewish thought leader, educator, and Momentum’s Scholar in Residence, for a powerful exploration of Israel’s place in the Jewish story.
Together, they illuminate the five landscapes through which Jews have understood Israel for thousands of years: the imagined, covenantal, remembered, lived, and envisioned land. Dr. Raviv shares why Israel is not a project of survival, but a project of revival, and how Jewish mothers play a central role in carrying this story forward. Rooted in warmth, depth, and clarity, this conversation invites each of us to see our connection to Israel not only through history, but through identity, responsibility, and love.
