The Israeli Bond Ep. 373 (Part 2)
In this follow-up conversation, host Gal Swisa Cohen welcomes back Beata Schulman to explore the complicated — and surprisingly hopeful — relationship between Israel and Poland.
Together, they dig into:
- why Poland has become one of the safest destinations in Europe for Israelis and Jews
- how “Holocaust tourism” shaped perceptions — and how those trips are changing
- Poland’s ongoing effort to confront its own history, honestly and openly
- moments of powerful inclusion — like Hanukkah celebrations at the presidential palace
- where antisemitism shows up today… and what still needs work
- practical ways nations move forward: conversation, travel, business, and real human connection
Beata also opens up about life with a layered identity — Polish, Jewish, American — and how she’s raising her children to carry all of it with pride and awareness.
It’s thoughtful, candid, and ultimately hopeful — proof that even when history feels heavy, people can still choose understanding over division. (And yes… Polish soup in a bread bowl makes a cameo. Of course it does.)
