Rabbi David Mivasair travelled to Israel, to seek answers. According to him, it took him a whopping 30-40 years of first-hand experiences, until he realized that he had to do something about it. He notes the extreme cognitive dissonance he experienced between (in his words) “wanting Israel to be a good place,” versus the facts, which were before his eyes. The following interview with him is a retelling of his journey, as well as how his position this aligns with this religious identity, and sense of duty.

“Thou shalt not steal.”
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house.”
