Since then, their relationships to Israel have diverged but they have refused to be divided. In this episode we discuss:&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why did Aharon initially choose to stay anonymous to protect his parents from public pushback?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How can we identify positive qualities in people we viscerally disagree with? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do differences over Israel and Zionism need to tear families apart? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Tune in to hear a conversation about how the Jewish People can learn to think less institutionally and more familially. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Interview begins at 19:08.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Rabbi Judah Dardik is an Assistant Dean and full-time Ramm at Yeshivat Orayta in the Old City of Jerusalem, where he teaches and oversees student welfare. He is also the Dean of the Orayta Center for Jewish Leadership and Engagement. Before making Aliyah, he completed 13 years as the spiritual and community leader of Beth Jacob Congregation, in Oakland, California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naomi Dardik, with her husband, Judah, served the Beth Jacob community in Oakland for thirteen years. Now, she leads the team of Relationship Experts at "OurRitual," a young company based in Tel Aviv that is building new ways to help couples access relationship support.
