Talking in Shul


Hila Ratzabi & Etty Hillesum

This month we’re talking to Hila Ratzabi, a writer and editor based in Israel, about Etty Hillesum, a Jewish writer, academic and diarist who lived in Amsterdam during World War II, and was killed in a concentration camp. For our second segment we’re talking about cleaning for Passover. 

So for our first topic we’re joined by Hila Ratzabi, managing editor of Ritualwell, joining us from Israel to speak with us about Etty Hillesum.
