Rabbi Michael Lezak serves as a staff rabbi at Glide Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco's impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood, working on social justice initiatives funded by Jewish foundations and individual donors.

In this discussion led by Allison, Noah, and Miriam Hershlag from The Times of Israel, three significant topics are addressed: the tenth anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs' new program aimed at strengthening Jewish identity in the diaspora, and Uri Avnery's concerns about a shift towards a more religiously defined Jewish state in Israel.
