Listeners Therapy returns for a second session on Unholy. Psychotherapist Dr Orna Guralnik joins Yonit Levi and Jonathan Freedland to meet Lee and Marion — an American-Israeli couple living in New York with two young children, struggling with a question facing many Jewish families today: where should we raise our children — in Israel or in the United States?
They have lived in Israel, California, and New York. Their families are split between continents. Since October 7, the dilemma has become heavier and harder to avoid. Israel offers belonging, language, and cultural intimacy — but also political tension, rising extremism, and physical danger. America offers stability and opportunity — but distance from family, and a different kind of Jewish identity.
What emerges is not a conflict between partners, but a conflict within each of them: loyalty and fear, attachment and doubt, safety and meaning. They speak about patriotism and protest, antisemitism and community, queerness and security, and the difference between living in a country and choosing a country.
With Dr Guralnik’s guidance, the conversation becomes less about reaching a decision and more about learning how to live with complexity — how to hold opposing truths without turning one another into enemies.
A deeply personal conversation about identity, parenting, and belonging — and about the arguments many Jews now carry not with others, but within themselves.
