Why Every Jew Belongs in Israel—Now More Than Ever

In this bold and deeply personal episode of On The House, Debbie Goldfischer sits down with tech entrepreneur and unapologetic Zionist Hillel Fuld for a conversation that cuts to the heart of Jewish identity, belonging, and destiny. Continuing in the spirit of Making Israel Your Home, Debbie explores Aliyah not just as a dream — but as a calling — with one of Israel’s most passionate and outspoken advocates.

From his influential career in tech and storytelling to the tragic loss of his brother, Ari Fuld HY”D, Hillel offers a raw and unfiltered perspective on what it means to live — and fight — for the Jewish people today. He challenges long-standing excuses like career, comfort, and community, arguing they no longer hold up in the face of what’s at stake. With passion and clarity, he speaks about Israel as a modern-day miracle — a hub of technology, security, creativity, and Jewish purpose — and draws on Torah insights to highlight themes of leadership, courage, and coming home. He shares the enduring legacy of his brother Ari and examines the role of rabbis, parents, and educators in shaping our communal priorities. From identity and destiny to the power of naming, Hillel doesn’t shy away from hard truths — including honest talk about Haredi enlistment, demographic shifts, and what we owe our children in this critical moment of Jewish history.

This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a wake-up call.
