When Rachel Goldberg-Polin's son, Hersh, was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023, she became a prominent spokesperson for the families of Israeli hostages. Throughout Hersh's captivity, and then after his murder, Goldberg-Polin, who was born in Chicago and emigrated to Israel in 2008, argued that Israel's priority should be to bring the hostages home, and that the killing of all innocents, Israeli and Palestinian, must stop. She advocated with Israeli politicians, Pope Francis, and other leaders, and she addressed the Democratic National Convention in 2024. She recently spoke with David Remnick about her new book, “When We See You Again,” and how she has continued her work as a public figure despite unending grief. “People are desperate for us to be angry . . . to feel things that I think that they assume they would feel if they were in the position that we are in. But the truth is, I'm open to feeling anything,” she reflects. “I put Hersh in the ground on September 2, 2024. After that, I'm in a completely different universe.” Further reading: “Gaza's Broken Politics,” by Mohammed R.

Send us Fan MailRachel Goldberg-Polin on Faith, Grief, and Meaning After Hersh's Captivity | From the Inside OutHosts Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein interview educator and author Rachel Goldberg-Polin about her book When We See You Again, her family's life in Jerusalem, and the loss of her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage from the Nova Music Festival on October 7 and later murdered after 328 days in captivity. Rachel recounts her path into Orthodox Jewish life starting in eighth grade at an Orthodox day school, describes how tefillah and Torah have sustained her, and shares how Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning—relayed to her through released hostage Or Levy—became a tool for enduring suffering by finding purpose. She discusses Modeh Ani, trust in Hashem amid uncertainty, grief as an expression of love, “toxic positivity” versus “tragic optimism,” and verses and teachings that frame this world as a hallway to the next.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  Their Pushka (Charity Box) App makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

Dearest gentle Polin, we have been apart for far two long. As we celebrate the second anniversary of the imperfect season of our hearts, it's time to head back home to the drawing-room window with a view of the house across the street. In our special Polin Q&A, we'll be looking back over two years of blow-away balloons, cheek strokes and the best first kiss Veg has ever seen before making room on the chaise for our favourite redhead and a green-eyed imposter. After a spot of tea with Book Polin, we'll be grabbing our devilishly yellow headcoverings and taking a promenade through Polin's past, from the very first Vauxhall jig through to a final retirement sway. Once we've picked Penelope up from the pavement and the 408 dance off the cutting room floor, we'll also find time to reminisce over crumbs, blurs and our very own histories of connection. Raise your glasses of lemonade, old friends. We have a happily ever after on our hands and a love story for the ages.Is life supposed to be this wonderful? We think so. We really do. * Veg's Recommendation for Bath Tours: https://www.fredmawertours.co.uk/Need help editing a podcast?

On October 7, 2023, Rachel Goldberg-Polin's son Hersh was taken from the Nova Music Festival into Gaza. For 330 days, she and her husband John fought to bring him home; meeting with world leaders, speaking at the UN, and wearing a piece of tape on their chests with the changing number of days he'd been held captive. Hersh was murdered in captivity on day 330. In this raw and unforgettable conversation, Rachel sits down with Danielle to talk about her new book When We See You Again (NYT bestseller). She opens up about the reality of living inside grief, the pressure society places on people to “heal,” why she rejects toxic positivity, the philosophy of “tragic optimism” that now guides her life, and why she refuses to let her humanity break.In this episode, she shares: The final two texts Hersh sent his parents and what they meant Why Rachel calls herself "disordered" The story behind the tape that millions of people around the world started wearing "Toxic positivity" vs. "tragic optimism" — and the Viktor Frankl quote that Hersh lived by How Rachel held space for the suffering of mothers in Gaza while her own son was held there The one question she still can’t answer: “How are you?” Why Rachel says motherhood changed “the DNA” of who she is in the world The Jewish mystical idea that reframes why we're here at all What it means to mother a child who is no longer in this world Why Rachel says “hope is mandatory” even after unimaginable loss "Every soul comes to this world to do one act of kindness."

When Rachel Goldberg-Polin buried her son Hersh, she heard part of herself go into the ground with him. She joins host Noam Weissman to discuss her new memoir, sharing how writing became a way to survive unbearable grief and asking what it means to keep going when the person who was your whole world is gone. Drawing on Jewish theology, Viktor Frankl, and a prophetic journal entry Hersh wrote as a teenager, Rachel wrestles with how hope and despair can coexist.

I had the immense honor of interviewing Rachel Goldberg-Polin about her book When We See You Again. Rachel, USA Today's Woman of the Year and one of the TIME 100, is the mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin who was kidnapped on October 7th and later executed by Hamas. Her book is raw, beautiful, and important. A meditation on grief, love, and how to get through. Please listen. We spoke in front of 1,200 people thanks to the generosity of UJA-NYC. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In her moving and beautiful book, When We See You Again, Rachel Goldberg-Polin writes about her love for her son, Hersh, who was stolen from a musical festival on October 7, 2023, and executed after 328 days of being held hostage. While I completely understand the instinct to turn away, I also really hope you will stay with us for this conversation, if you can. Rachel is incredible, and there are so many gifts to be found in her words. She told me stories that made me laugh, that stunned me, that were utterly profound, and that will stay with me forever. If you have ever wondered why we're here—or what your “why” is—I think you will also be changed by Rachel, too. For the show notes, head to my Substack.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with author Rachel Goldberg-Polin. Rachel Goldberg-Polin began writing her new book, "When We See You Again," as a way of finding some relief from her pain after she buried her son, 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was executed by his Hamas captors in August 2024, after being held captive for 330 days in a Gaza tunnel. Goldberg-Polin speaks about the process of writing the book, urged by her husband, Jon Polin, and how the book became a kind of answer to people asking her how she was. The bulk of the book takes place after the Goldberg-Polins buried Hersh on August 31, 2024, and is an accounting of their lives in what Goldberg-Polin terms the Before and After.

Watch us on Youtube: https://youtu.be/HFowIpBxqKs  Rachel Goldberg-Polin has stood before the UN, met with presidents, and worn a number on her chest every single day until there were no more hostages in Hamas captivity. Now, months after Hersh was murderd, she sat down and wrote a book. When We See You Again is not a hostage story and not a political reckoning. It is, as Rachel describes it, a painful love story — a grief memoir written "with one finger from underneath a truck," with no distance, no perspective, and no pretense that any of that is coming soon. In this conversation with Yonit and Jonathan, Rachel talks about the moment a released hostage told her Hersh had heard her voice in captivity, why she refused to name the officials who promised and delivered nothing, the 87 pages she cut and called "the suitcase," and how Hersh's memory will become a "revolution for go.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Am 19. April jährt sich der Aufstand im Warschauer Ghetto – ein Symbol für Mut und Widerstand unter aussichtslosen Bedingungen. Wir sind heute in Warschau, im Stadtteil Muranów – an einem Ort, der lange Zeit einfach ein Wohnviertel war und doch eine der größten Tragödien der europäischen Geschichte in sich trägt, als Teil der Geschichte dieser Stadt. In dieser Sendung gehen wir diesen Spuren nach: Es geht nicht nur um den Aufstand selbst, sondern um das Leben der Jüdinnen und Juden in Polen vor dem Krieg, um den Alltag im Ghetto – und um den Moment, in dem aus Verzweiflung Widerstand wurde.

"To, że świat stał się dużo bardziej niestabilny, niż jeszcze nie tak dawno temu, kiedy prowadziłem to muzeum, ma znaczenie dla działania wszystkich instytucji. Dla muzeum POLIN o tyle większe, że przyjmowało wiele grup Izraelczyków, żeby im pokazać historię polskich Żydów. Teraz przez jakiś czas nie będą przyjeżdżać, nad czym ubolewam" - powiedział w Porannej rozmowie RMF FM prof. Dariusz Stola, dyrektor POLIN, który dziś powtórnie obejmuje pieczę nad instytucją. "To, co się zmieniło na gorsze, to wzrost antysemityzmu w Polsce" - dodał.

The Vera Rubin Observatory has just started taking its first data this month. We have a special guest (Dr. Daniel Polin) who helped in the construction of the camera for Rubin. This digital camera was a major feat due to the very large amount of data contained in each exposure, requiring clever techniques for reading and transmitting data quickly. Let's find out what it takes to build the biggest digital camera in the world.

Please take 5 minutes to fill out Ark Media's LISTENER SURVEY ____ Rachel Goldberg-Polin joins Dan for a Purim special to explain why this is possibly the most misunderstood holiday in Jewish tradition. Rather than simply a fun masquerade for kids, Purim presents a profound meditation on hiddenness, courage, and stepping into one's moment. Rachel walks Dan through the Book of Esther, unpacks its drama and philosophical depth, and explores why a story where God is never mentioned may be the most relevant text for a confusing, fractured age. In this episode: - The world of Persia and the backstory to Purim - Vashti, Esther, and the making of a queen - Haman, Amalek, and the logic of antisemitism - “For such a time as this” and the Esther moment - Where is God in a story without God? - Masks, hiddenness, and the illusion of randomness - Unity, generosity, and the mitzvot of Purim - Discovering your purpose when no one summons you More Ark Media: Subscribe to Inside Call me Back Explore Israel Votes Listen to For Heaven's Sake Listen to What's Your Number?

In this special Simchas Torah episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin—parents of murdered hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Hashem yikkom damo—about their relationship to Torah. For two years, we've been struggling with the paradox of how Simchas Torah has become eternally intertwined with October 7. So, at Koren's celebration of Rabbi Sacks's Humash, we could think of no two better people to talk to. In this episode we discuss:How can we find redemption specifically within our exile? How can we move on when we've been permanently broken? How can we work to live our lives through the lens of Torah? Tune in to hear a conversation about how Torah gives us strength and hope in even the darkest times. Interview was held on Sept. 8 and begins at 18:26. Sign up for the Simchat Torah Challenge. References:18Forty Podcast: “Chaim Saiman: Is Talmud the Jewish Constitution?”“The Inverted Halakhah of Simhat Torah” by Chaim SaimanParshat Beha'alotchaEzekiel 37Genesis 32:27The Koren Shalem HumashFor more 18Forty:NEWSLETTER: 18forty.org/joinCALL: (212) 582-1840EMAIL: info@18forty.orgWEBSITE: 18forty.orgIG: @18fortyX: @18_fortyWhatsApp: join hereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with Rachel Goldberg-Polin, mother of murdered hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Goldberg-Polin, who has become a well-known voice in the Jewish and Israeli world since October 7, 2023, when Hersh was taken captive by Hamas terrorists, speaks about the challenge of being active, present, and even thankful in the aftermath of Hersh's death. She speaks about the public nature of the family's mourning, as she and her husband, Jon Polin, remain active advocates for the remaining hostages, but grapple with their deep mourning in the public eye. Goldberg-Polin shares anecdotes about her life, including her extended Jerusalem community during the high holiday period, and her desperate hope to grow from the challenges she's faced during the last two years. She speaks about the need to help repair herself and the world around her and the need for some relief from the pain and suffering of this time period. And so this week, we ask Rachel Goldberg-Polin, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
