    May 4 2025

    Rav Simcha Sterzer grew up in Williamsburg – Brooklyn, and was a yeshiva rebbe for more than 40 years. On a visit to Israel in 1992 his life changed forever, thanks to his wife saying, “I could live like this.”


    The 93-year old Rav Sterzer speaks with inspiring simplicity, and Goel greatly appreciated being able to sit with him in his home recently.

    Episode #51: Dr. Deena Wasserman
    May 4 2025

    Dr. Deena Wasserman grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the daughter of a rabbi, but actually, also the great, great granddaughter of another rabbi – quite a famous rabbi.


    For Deena, Aliyah was always on the radar screen, but the question was: When and How?


    Layer on top of it the question of making Aliyah as a physician, and the path to returning home was anything but obvious, even if the idea of returning was crystal clear.

    Episode #50: Gilla Jasper
    Jan 30 2025

    Gilla Jasper grew up in southern Connecticut – a town called Stamford, and knew from her earliest days that her father had moved to Israel from Iran in 1958, living there for 5 years before leaving for college in the US.
    So Israel was central to Gilla’s upbringing, but Aliyah was not. What turned the tide?

    This is an episode about Goel and his family’s Aliyah, in celebration of their 20th anniversary in Israel.
