Ep 328: The Israel Bond with Gal Swisa Cohen and Emily Rahmilov
In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of The Israel Bond, host Gal Swisa Cohen sits down with Emily Rahmilov, a Shinshin from the Sid Jacobson JCC, whose life story spans the Caucasus, Ofakim, global Scout delegations, and now Long Island.
Emily shares what it was like growing up in a city built by immigrant families, the challenges of living in Israel’s periphery, and how joining the Israeli Scouts opened doors she never imagined—from South Korea to an American summer camp in Oregon.
Together, Gal and Emily explore the evolving relationship between Israeli and American Jews, the power of youth movements, the courage to step outside social “coolness,” and the responsibilities that come with choosing a year of service.
It’s an inspiring, relatable conversation about identity, belonging, and the unbreakable bond between Israel and the Jewish diaspora—told through the voice of a young woman determined to build bridges that last.
If you care about Israel, Jewish life, or the next generation of global leaders, this episode will stay with you long after the closing credits.
