In this episode Rabbi Wildes speaks with Rudy Rochman. Rochman is a noted speaker and writer on Jewish rights. Rochman's argument about the state of Israel's right to exist centers around the idea that Jews are indigenous to the land. He views Zionism as a movement of decolonization. Rochman has also criticized intersectionality because of how it has been used to demonize Israel. He has notably stated that Judaism is not a religion, but rather an ethnic group that is indigenous to the land of Israel.

Rochman is also know for his work as a Pro-Israel activist on social media. He has thousands of followers and subscribers on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter. Rochman currently serves on the board of The Israel Innovation Fund, which is a philanthropic fund. In 2018, Rochman received the 36 Under 36 award for being one of the most influential Jews in the world. Currently, Rochman is running the Vision slate in the World Zionist Congress elections.
