Hi, I’m Natalie Ginor. In this podcast, I am embarking on a journey to share the stories of relatable people, whose lives, like most of ours, are complex, burdened, and filled with both sorrow and vitality. Their resilience, empathy, and curiosity serve as inspiration for living with the challenges, shadowed realities, and beauty woven into the intricacies of life. It is in these shared stories that perhaps we will grapple with our own responses to challenge and how perhaps eventually we can bring our own grace for impact. Hosted on Acast.

One year after her first “grace for impact” podcast appearance, Turkish journalist Türkü Avci returns to share what’s happened since: an Erdoğan-issued arrest warrant, a smear campaign back home, and her decision to seek asylum in Israel rather than abandon her beliefs.

Talia Davood is an Iranian, first generation American, undergraduate student at UCLA and an elected USAC General Representative. This past year she has shown up with tremendous courage, clarity, and sheer resilience. In April, Talia organized an event where former Hamas held hostage Omer Shemtov came to share his story of captivity, an event attended by hundreds of people. While the event was taking place, a condemnation letter from a fellow student council member was published, framing the event as insensitive to the Palestinian cause, and questioning the security presence that was there to protect over 350 attendees, security that any event of that size is fully eligible. Talia responded with her own letter, one that she read aloud at a subsequent student council meeting that was direct, rational, and completely dismantled every allegation. Talia doesn’t just push back, she’s pushes toward. She is doing the work to build real bridges across faith communities, finding common ground with students who want to move forward together, even amidst deep divides.

Award-winning journalist and Zionist Yardena Schwartz returns to Grace for Impact to cut through the noise on two competing narratives: Nicholas Kristof’s largely unsubstantiated NYT op-ed alleging systematic Israeli prisoner abuse of Palestinians, and the just-released 300-page Civil Commission report documenting Hamas’s fully substantiated crimes against women and children on October 7th. She also makes a compelling case for why West Bank annexation would be, in her own words, the unraveling of the Jewish state.

A year after our first conversation, I reconnected with Tessa Veksler, the former UCSB student body president who navigated one of the most turbulent periods in recent campus history as a Jewish woman in the wake of October 7, 2023. In this follow-up, Tessa reflects on how far she’s come since graduating and the toll that year of relentless hate and harassment took on her personally. A reel from our interview went viral, but not without consequence, as a subsequent “sitch incoming” reel stripped it of context, distorted her words, and weaponised her message to push a narrative she never espoused. Tessa breaks down the experience through the lens of the Three D’s, a framework for identifying and understanding antisemitism, and explains why incidents like this are exactly why media literacy and honest dialogue matter. Despite facing ongoing hostility, she remains deeply committed to bridge-building, believing that connection, not division, is the only path forward.

Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch is the senior Rabbi at Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, in New York City, where he leads a reform congregation. In this episode, Rabbi Hirsch and I discuss his Zionism, which embodies liberal values, including the right of the individual to self determination, free speech, open debate and equality for all. He points out the illiberalism of many self proclaimed liberals today in their outspokenness and in their silence. He also discusses the emotional and intellectual connections between Judaism and Israel for Jews living in the diaspora.

MEP Assita Kanko unapologetically describes how she worked her way from the repressive society in which she was raised in Burkina Faso to now being the Belgian Member of European Parliament.

Türkü Avcı is a Turkish writer, commentator, and student of Political Science and Communication at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

In 2021, despite warnings that she might face hostility or rejection, she moved to Jerusalem—a decision that shaped her worldview and strengthened her commitment to dialogue and bridge-building.

Grace for Impact podcast began as my response to October 7th, a day of unspeakable brutality that left me profoundly shaken, searching for solid ground beneath my feet. As an Israeli, American, and British citizen, my sense of place in the world was suddenly upended. As a mother, my sense of certainty about the world I was raising my children into was deeply destabilized. In the immediate aftermath, turning to stories of Israeli resilience reversed the spiral. In the depths of grief and helplessness, I found something unexpected: hope. Not the passive kind, but the kind built through responsibility and choice. What started as a space to explore these human stories has grown into a platform for voices across backgrounds and beliefs, people guided by universal humanity, who understand that resilience doesn’t just help us survive, it shows us how to lead when the world fractures. With a background as a criminal prosecutor, my understanding of justice has been shaped by the complexity of the human spirit, its capacity for cruelty, as well as its capacity for healing. As a mother, that reckoning feels even more urgent. Because the values we defend, the silence we break, and the examples we set are how we shape the world our children will inherit. Grace for Impact podcast highlights people who choose action over despair, courage over indifference, and moral clarity over apathy, so that even when humanity is shattered, we can show the next generation that rebuilding is possible, and that change does happen. I hope these stories move you as they’ve moved me and remind us that when grace is chosen, impact follows. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
