This episode was recorded in September 2025, 3 months prior to the horrific terrorist attacks targeting the Jewish Community celebrating Chanukah at Bondi Beach on December 14. This is true for all episodes that will make up Season 1, which were all recorded prior to this tragedy. The introduction to Caity's episode was recorded after these events and as such I take some time to reflect on some of my thoughts and offer my love, sorrow and solidarity to all members of the Jewish Community. However, after the first five or so minutes of this episode, we continue with Part 2of this three part mini-series that began with Rachel Goldberg and continues today with Caity.

Caitlin Faiman is the second child and only daughter to Rachel and Alan Goldberg. Rachel was born in Fergana, USSR in 1943, while Alan was a 4th generation Jewish Australian. Caity is a teacher at Bialik College and is Director of The Rosenkranz Centre, which focuses on enrichment and extension learning opportunities throughout the College. This includes a strong connection with Project Zero, housed at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
