Before introducing my guest, my brother-in-law Alan Putter, I reflect on patterns throughout Jewish history, rooted in Torah, that show us what happens when we either forget to stay holy and distinct or fall into baseless hatred. Alan joins me to share what he did after October 7th that truly inspired me. While many of us were outraged or overwhelmed, he took action. He flew to Israel and volunteered on IDF bases, doing the quiet but essential work that keeps everything running - folding uniforms, cleaning weapons, preparing food. No glamour, just humility and impact. This conversation is both personal and national. It’s about recognizing Hashem’s voice in the chaos, choosing unity over division, and remembering why we’re here as a people.
