Yossi Klein Halevi on Israel, War, and Moral Complexity
On this episode of RAW, I speak with Yossi Klein Halevi—author, historian, and public intellectual whose voice is vital in conversations about Israel, Jewish identity, and moral complexity in times of crisis.
Yossi was born in Brooklyn to a family of Holocaust survivors. His father, a Hungarian Jew, survived the war as a teenager by hiding for months in a frozen ditch in the forests of Transylvania—a story that shaped Yossi’s worldview and sense of Jewish responsibility.
He moved to Israel in 1982 and is now a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. His acclaimed books include Like Dreamers, about the paratroopers who reunited Jerusalem in 1967, and Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor, a courageous effort to bridge one of today’s most painful divides.
We talk about the current war and what it reveals—about Israeli society, leadership, and the nation’s soul. We explore how the shadow of the Holocaust continues to shape Yossi’s view of the Jewish state, and the impossible tensions between survival and conscience.
We also touch on Yossi’s long-standing meditation practice, and how it helps him stay spiritually elevated and emotionally grounded through heartbreak and chaos.
This is a conversation about moral clarity and humility. About fear, grief, memory—and the quiet practices that help us stay human.

Parenting with a Soft Heart in a Hard Time
I speak with Ruti Dariel—mother of three, psychotherapist, expressive arts therapist, and certified parenting coach with over 20 years of clinical experience.
Ruti’s journey is deeply personal and profoundly relevant to this moment. A few years ago, despite her professional expertise, she found herself facing questions many parents know intimately:
How do I truly connect with my child when things get hard?
How do I set boundaries without losing myself?
How do I respond to frustration and aggression in a way that actually helps?
Especially as a mother of highly sensitive children, Ruti realized that many conventional parenting tools simply didn’t reach far enough. Her search for deeper understanding led her to the attachment-based developmental approach, through years of study at the Neufeld Institute and beyond.
In this conversation, we explore the emotional toll of living—and parenting—through war in Israel. I asked Ruti:
How does ongoing conflict affect our children, especially the more sensitive ones?
How can we stay emotionally present when we’re anxious and afraid ourselves?
What can we do when our kids act out or shut down—and how do we help them find resilience and hope?
And how do we talk to children about things like fear, bereavement, and the future in ways that are age-appropriate and honest?
Ruti offers not just wisdom, but warmth—a sense that we’re not alone in our struggle to show up for our children in such uncertain times. This episode is for any parent asking: How do I hold my child’s heart, even when mine feels heavy?
