About this listen

 Welcome to Bina: A Better Together Podcast, created by the students and staff of Contra Costa Midrasha. This series is all about bringing Jewish teens and elders together to share stories, ask honest questions, and learn from one another across generations and life experiences. Each episode features a meaningful conversation about Jewish identity, heritage, belonging, purpose, resilience, and community. Through personal stories and shared reflection, Bina empowers our community’s youth in exploring the wisdom that comes with lived experience and the fresh perspective that comes through the eyes of a younger generation. Inspired by Contra Costa Midrasha’s Better Together program, Bina is creating space for connection across ages and backgrounds. These are warm, thoughtful conversations about memory, tradition, growth, and what it means to shape the future together.

  • Rebellion and Resilience in the Life of Hana Berger Moran

    Rebellion and Resilience in the Life of Hana Berger Moran
    Apr 13 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Hana Berger Moran, a Holocaust survivor, chemist, and beloved member of the Better Together community. Born in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945 and saved through a series of extraordinary acts of courage and luck, Hana shares her mother’s bravery, her own journey from survival to a scientific career, and her lifelong commitment to giving back. We discuss Jewish identity today, facing antisemitism in high school, the power of education and great teachers, and the guiding lesson of Hana’s favorite saying, “If I am not for myself, who will be?” Thank you to our funders: Sinai & Synapses, Contra Costa Jewish Community Center, an anonymous prominent national foundation, and the wider Midrasha community for making this show possible.
