But there are young people who have emerged in this difficult environment with a renewed passion for Israel and dedication to fighting for its future. Hear from some of them and the leaders supporting them in this informative and inspiring episode hosted by Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein. In the words of guest panelist Yocheved Ruttenberg, "We have a Jewish state but we are far from done fighting for it."Guests include Ruttenberg, who founded the 40,000-strong Facebook group Sword of Iron-Israel Volunteer Opportunities in the immediate aftermath of October 7 and who has been named to Hadassah’s 2025 list of 18 American Zionist women everyone should know; Reform Rabbi Ashira Boxman, who has written about the need for Jewish unity in a time of threat for Israel and Jews everywhere; David Hazony, editor of the 2024 anthology Young Zionist Voices: A New Generation Speaks Out and director and senior fellow of the Z3 Institute for Jewish Priorities; and Adina Frydman, CEO of Young Judaea, the oldest Zionist youth movement in America.Further Resources Purchase a copy of Young Zionist VoicesRead essays from the book by Rabbi Ashira Boxman and Talia Bodner in Hadassah Magazine Read about Yocheved Ruttenberg and others on Hadassah's 2025 list of 18 Zionist Women You Should KnowWatch the program recording here.
