This week: Ask Joel Anything — where you set the agenda. Listeners sent in dozens of questions, from the deeply personal (would his family still have moved to Israel knowing October 7 was coming?) to the quirky (odd Hebrew phrases that make no sense). Also: Thanksgiving in Israel, synagogue life, Jewish identity, and more. So many questions came in that this is part one of two; part two drops in two weeks.
