Remembering Carmel, Ori, Hersh, Eden, Alexander, and Almog

Since Oct. 7, the Jewish world has been collectively mourning — especially for the hostages still held captive in Gaza. Last week, we received the tragic news that six hostages had been cruelly murdered after surviving for nearly 11 months in captivity. In this episode of Wondering Jews, Mijal reflects on this deep loss and explores her personal feelings surrounding faith and loss, touching on tough questions of justice and divine intervention, wondering how such suffering can occur to those who loved and fought for their families.  The article that Mijal references in this episode can be found here. ------------ This podcast was brought to you by Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media.
