Prompted by receiving an unexpected gift of historical photographs of protests against anti-semitism from the 1900s, Rabbi Corinne briefly explores the first and second aliyahs contributing to the development of the nation of Israel.

We look at the human condition of Predator vs. Prey from the lens of a remarkable story about a peacock (from Rabbi Corinne's 5th book, A Rabbi at Sea: A Uniquely Spiritual Journey).

The conversation continues between Rabbi Corinne and Janet on the mirror of this animal encounter to our human experience in the world.
