In this episode of KOLOT, we sit down with Rep. Greg Landsman, a Jewish congressman from Cincinnati, for a candid and insightful conversation. We explore a range of thought-provoking topics, including how Rep. Landsman and his family navigate deep political differences with friends and loved ones. We also delve into the disturbing protests outside his home on the one-year anniversary of October 7th, and how his family has responded to such demonstrations. Rep. Landsman shares the Jewish values that guide his work in Washington, D.C., and offers advice for Americans on how to unite in times of division. All this and more, on KOLOT.
