Seeking Sinai
Join Rabbi Natan of Temple Sinai Atlanta as we dive into some of the greatest issues and deepest questions of our time. Our first season, we focused on the Jewish questions of Why?. Our second and third seasons have focused on elevating our individual Jewish journeys. And now, given the war in Israel and the pressing needs of current events, we are dedicating this podcast to these important questions. Whether dropping the kids at school, running errands, heading to work, or meeting a friend, why not add some spiritual enrichment and meaning to your day.
Seeking Sinai
Israel’s First Fighters
This episode of Seeking Sinai explores the extraordinary story of Stan Andrews, a young American who left home in 1948 to fight for Israel’s survival and helped lay the foundations of the Israeli Air Force. Rabbi Natan Trief speaks with author Jeffrey Weiss, whose new book Fighting Back uncovers Andrews’s forgotten legacy and the generation of volunteers who saw Israel’s struggle as their own. Together, they reflect on what Andrews’s courage teaches us about Jewish peoplehood, solidarity, and Zionism in the wake of October 7th. The conversation invites listeners to consider what it means to “fight back” today — not only with weapons, but with unity, pride, and faith.
