Broadcasting a Healing New Year’s Message via the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation

Right in time for the Jewish New Year, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation or KAN, the national broadcaster of Israel, conducted in-depth interviews with Rabbi Olya Weinstein, CEO of Project Kesher Israel, on various perspectives surrounding both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  She spoke with the program host about how elements of healing that are central to each holiday give us the strength we need to persevere in our most fearful and/or vulnerable moments, offering another reason to appreciate the depth and beauty of the Jewish tradition.

These two Hebrew-language interviews were broadcasted before each holiday on KAN’s radio REKA network specifically for immigrants in Israel and listeners abroad, reaching hundreds of thousands of individuals. Links to the interviews are included below. The Rosh Hashanah-focused interview brings in Olya at the sixth minute; the Yom Kippur-focused one at the 23rd minute.
