Most nations study their history to understand where they came from.

Jewish history is different.

It forces us to ask where history is going.

The survival of the Jewish people, the rebirth of Israel, and the patterns that repeat throughout Jewish history raise questions that are far bigger than politics or current events.

Watch the clip and let me know what you think.

Most people assume that nations rise and fall because of military power, economics, or politics.

History suggests something more fundamental is often at work.

In this episode of Remember What's Next, Coach and Jewish Educator, Ellie Bass, and I explore the role that shared purpose plays in the survival and strength of a people.

As Israel faces enormous challenges, it is worth asking what ultimately holds a nation together.

One of the great challenges facing Israel today is that we are increasingly taught to think primarily as individuals.

But every lasting civilization asks a different question: What do we owe each other?

The future of Israel depends not only on shared interests but on shared responsibility. History shows that when people stop seeing themselves as part of something larger, it becomes difficult to sustain a common mission.

Part 2 of my conversation with Coach and Jewish Educator, Ellie Bass, is now available.

The debate over military service in Israel is often presented as a simple political disagreement. It is not. Behind today's protests and public arguments are more than a century of history, competing visions for the Jewish state, questions of religious identity, and concerns about the future of Israeli society.

In this episode, we continue the conversation by examining what is happening on the ground, why tensions have reached this point, and what it would take for Israelis from very different backgrounds to move forward together.

A change in leadership does not always mean a change in ideas.

A few thoughts on Iran, the current war, and what I believe is the real issue the world should be paying attention to.

What if some of today's divisions within Israeli society trace back more than a century?

In this episode of Remember What's Next, Coach Ellie Bass and I explore an often-overlooked chapter of Zionist history and how competing visions of Jewish identity helped shape debates that continue to this day.

Civil Unrest: The Draft Crisis and Israel's Internal Reckoning

15/06/2026

Has the word "Zionism" become so loaded that it prevents people from understanding the deeper conversation?

In this episode of Remember What's Next, Coach Ellie Bass and I discuss a thought-provoking observation from Sam Harris and explore the distinction between political labels and the Jewish people's historic connection to the Land of Israel.

Civil Unrest: The Draft Crisis and Israel's Internal Reckoning

12/06/2026

Many of the divisions we see inside Israel today did not begin with current events.

In this episode of Remember What’s Next, Coach Ellie Bass and I step back to examine the historical origins of the tensions between secular Zionism and traditional Judaism. To understand today's debates, we first need to understand the people, ideas, and experiences that shaped them.

Why is the draft crisis in Israel creating so much internal unrest?

In this new episode of Remember What’s Next, Coach Ellie Bass and I look beyond the headlines and ask a deeper question:

Where does this tension actually come from?

To understand today’s debates over military service, religion, and the State of Israel, we trace the story back more than a century to the origins of modern Zionism and the complex relationship between religious and secular Jews.

The further back we look, the more clearly we can understand the challenges Israel faces today.

Many people assume that resilience comes from having an easy life.

The reality is often the opposite.

One of the themes we explored in this conversation is how purpose, identity, and a clear understanding of what you stand for can help people navigate even the most difficult circumstances.

In the final episode of our Trauma & Jewish History series, Coach Ellie Bass, Professor Elan Javanfard, and I discuss what resilience looks like in Israel and what lessons it may offer all of us.
