CEO David Bryfman kicks off Season 5 of Adapting with a powerful episode that sets the tone for the season ahead, now more critical than ever especially after the news of the six hostages who were murdered by Hamas. As Bryfman reflects on the podcast’s journey since its inception in 2020, he challenges listeners to think critically and deeply about the new reality confronting Jewish educators in a post-October 7th world—one that has upended many of our long-held beliefs.

With a lineup of guests who bring diverse perspectives and a willingness to engage in uncomfortable yet necessary conversations, Season 5 promises to be the most compelling yet. Whether you’re an educator, a community leader, or simply passionate about the future of Jewish education, this episode will leave you inspired, challenged, and ready to take action.

Tune in as we shift from reaction to proactive leadership, addressing not just the aftermath of October 7th, but the broader questions shaping Jewish education's future. Subscribe now, and join us on this critical journey.
