Are My Prayers for Israel, or Are Israel’s Prayers For Me?
What should the relationship between Israel and the Diaspora look and feel like? The contours of that relationship have long been a negotiation.
Sigalit Ur looks at the ways the rabbis navigated the question of when and where to pray for rain to develop a richer vocabulary for thinking about the future between Jews living in Israel and around the world.
