Abby Brody helped build a school—and then watched it turn on her son. What does it mean to become a refugee in your own city? In this episode, Abby shares the moment New York stopped feeling like home, the harassment that pushed her out, and the unsettling question: how does a place you helped shape decide you no longer belong?

Our kids, this generation, are pretty remarkable. I have high hopes. There are some beautiful things happening in the Jewish community, especially in the youth. And maybe they're the people who will unite us all.
