Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, born on June 1, 1937, in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland, is a prominent Jewish religious leader and Holocaust survivor. At a young age, he survived the Buchenwald concentration camp, an experience that profoundly influenced his life and work. After immigrating to Israel in 1945, Rabbi Lau dedicated himself to religious studies and rabbinical leadership.   He was appointed as the Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv in 1985, a position he held with distinction. In 1993, Rabbi Lau reached a pinnacle of religious leadership by becoming the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, a role he served until 2003. His tenure was marked by efforts to bridge gaps between secular and religious communities in Israel and to promote Jewish unity.   Rabbi Lau's legacy is one of resilience, spiritual leadership, and commitment to the Jewish people and their heritage.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, often referred to as "The Green Prince," is a figure of profound contradictions and intrigue. Born as the son of a Hamas co-founder, he made a dramatic shift, becoming a valued informant for Israel's Shin Bet security service.   His covert work, fraught with danger and moral complexity, played a crucial role in thwarting numerous terrorist attacks and saving countless lives. His story, chronicling deep family ties, betrayal, and the quest for peace, offers a rare glimpse into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's covert operations.   In this episode, Mosab retells the evil of Hamas, his respect for Israel & the Jewish people and the only way to move on to peace.   ____________________________________ ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ____________________________________   ► Win a $1,000,000 apartment in Jerusalem overlooking Har Habayis.    Get $10 OFF with PROMO CODE: LL   GET YOUR TICKET HERE Here → https://bit.ly/471DDzz   ► Purple Stairs: Your OPPORTUNITY Platform   "Get noticed by your next employer.
