Introduction

Daniel Hartman: Identity Crisis is a weekly show out of our New York headquarters hosted by my friend and colleague Yhuda Kertzer. Each week, Yhuda interviews leading thinkers to reveal the core Jewish values underlining central issues. Our theme for today is Israelis and the High Holidays. As the Jewish world prepares for Rosh Hashanah, we'd like to devote this episode to explore how the High holidays are experienced here in Israel.
