We’re reaching out to share an important and heartfelt conversation I recently had on The Marc Steiner Show. In this episode, I explore a question that weighs heavily on so many of us: How can we navigate the future of Jewish identity in the face of Israel’s actions in Gaza?

We are at a pivotal moment. As the Israeli government pursues policies that many describe as rooted in Jewish supremacy and that are causing immense suffering and harm, I believe the best of our Jewish tradition calls us to a different path—one of solidarity, justice, and compassion. Our sacred texts and values compel us to stand with the oppressed and to build a world that honors the dignity of all people.

In this conversation, I discuss how progressive Jewish values can guide us through these turbulent times and help us reconcile the tensions between historical trauma and the pursuit of justice. These are not easy discussions, but they are vital for the future of our collective identity.

I invite you to listen and reflect with me. I hope this episode sparks meaningful conversations and inspires us to take actions aligned with our deepest values.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Thank you for being the shining light leading the way to kindness and compassion. I am deeply proud of you and truly honored to be a part of your community.”

“I am not Jewish and am very much against the apartheid, genocide, and the ethnostate. And as someone who opposes so much of what Israel stands for, I found this conversation rejuvenating as well as interesting. I appreciate the work you are doing. Cat is a thoughtful and well-spoken person.”

These thoughtful reflections highlight the profound impact of the interview, resonating with audiences across diverse perspectives.
