Is Israel Safer Than America? Hillel Fuld | Behind the Bima

Hillel Fuld shut down a multimillion-dollar business on October 7th to fight for Israel full time. Three years later, he sits down with Rabbi Efrem Goldberg for an honest, late-night conversation, and they don't agree on everything. We talk about the hate that hurts most when it comes from fellow Jews, the antisemite who built an entire fake identity to fool him, the open miracles that have kept his family afloat every month, the Muslim woman who learns his Torah, and what the algorithms won't show you about Israel. Then the real debate: is Israel safer than America for Jews, and should fear be part of the case for Aliyah? Plus, Rabbi Goldberg and Rabbi Philip Moskowitz are back for a new season, with reflections after the Yamim Noraim and a proposal for a new social contract on RSVPs.
