My Israel Narrative Izzy Sakhaie

How does an Iranian refugee take her experience and use it for the greater good? Dr. Nazarian's story is nothing short of a miracle. Her perseverance is reflected not only in her succesfull medical practice, but as an Emmy nominated Netflix star, AND fierce advocate for the Jewish people and Israel.

I ask Dr. Nazarian what her experience was like coming to America, what it has been like experiencing “the same smells as Iran” in the once refuge of the US, and why she is investing so much energy in making sure this country doesn’t meet its demise.

Join me as I sit down with Ester, a good friend and one of the most knowledgeable (and passionate) people I know on all things Israel and Jewish history, as we dig deep on some of the “big” questions.

The context of this interview is based on comments from an earlier interview with ​⁠@RabbiYYJacobson

Listen in to hear about making Aliyah, our purpose in the diaspora and Israel, how to create a desire to be in Israel, moshiach, and much more.

Leave your comments below to tell us your thoughts.

A little bit of a different kind of interview. I finally sat down with my dad to hear about his story as an Iranian immigrant to America during the time of the Iranian Revolution.

We break down what it was like leaving a country you love and starting anew in somewhere totally foreign. I also ask him his take on the current happenings in the US and whether he sees any parallels with what he experienced being pushed out of Iran....

Should we do a round 2? Leave your questions and comments below!

Aby Volcovich has spent the past 4 months on the front lines in Israel. Before Octoer 7th, he had just started a job with DiploAct, an organization that works strengthen Israsel's voice on the global stage. While serving in active duty, Aby hasn't taken off his "hasbara hat," sharing content from the field to help fight this tumultuous media war.

When speaking, Aby shared how painful it was that he couldn't use his phone for the entire first month in battle; and not because he wanted to be scrolling on social media or calling friends and family. It was painful because he knew how the world was likely reacting to Israel's response and he wanted to be able to shed light on the situation.

Aby is originally from Mexico, moving to Canada when he was a child, and later moving to Israel to serve as a lone soldier. Join me as I sit down with Aby to hear about his experience moving to Israel as a lone soldier, what he's seen during this war, the narrative he is trying to tell, and what he thinks we all need to be focusing on in these times.

"Here’s some ancient prophecies. Some ancient writings. This is what is said would happen. Here’s a bunch of history, and then here’s some then and now photography based around those prophecies, and then you can decide whether you think this is that. But I’m just telling you nothing like this has ever happened before in history; specifically on this piece of land. And the prophets said this would happen. BUT, you can decide what you think is what.”  @doughersheyauthor7771 

Whether writing or speaking, Doug Hershey shares from a perspective of historian and storyteller. His accounts of Israel, the Middle East and the awakening of bible prophecy are as intriguing as they are rare. The "Ancient Prophecy Modern Lens" series continues to document these Ancient Prophecies and their tangible fulfillments with a Modern Lens with a brand new online course, soon followed by the much anticipated upcoming photo book "Jerusalem Rising" available in summer of 2021!

“I do believe that we should have our sights set on Eretz Yisrael. 100%. At the same time, I also believe that there are sparks that are still scattered around the world. And I think that some people have a mission to go and elevate those sparks.”

Akiva and Chava, aka  @houseoflev  were an incredible duo to connect with. They just announced - spoiler alert - that they're making Aliyah in the coming months with their whole family, only a few months after completing their conversion process. Oh, and get this, no one in the family has been to Israel before, besides Akiva! Talk about trusting your gut and diving right in.

This is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Mazal tov @houseoflev  and thank you for constantly sharing your authentic journey with all of us.
