The Places You’ll Go

Why do we travel, and what happens to our sense of identity when we leave our comfort zones? In this episode, we unpack the transformative power of journeys and ask whether we hit the road simply to see new places or to see ourselves differently. From camping trips in Australia to formative journeys across Malaysia and Kenya, we examine why so many foundational Jewish stories are rooted in wandering and exile. Is there a uniquely Jewish lesson in learning through travel?   Looking through the lens of pop culture like The White Lotus and the poetry of Yehuda Amichai, Ittay and Courtney explore how journeys force us to confront who we really are and ultimately reshape our understanding of home.  Feedback on this episode is welcome at [email protected] Music: Halicha LeKeysaria by the Hineni Band.
