Israeli author Ruby Namdar joins Tzuzamen to discuss the impact of the October 7 events on Jewish identity, both in Israel and among American Jews. Drawing from his award-winning novel The Ruined House, Namdar delves into themes of trauma, resilience, and the evolving Jewish experience. He explores how collective and personal histories shape the present and offers poignant insights into the cultural and emotional complexities facing Jews today, as well as the tension between tradition and modernity.
