R' Mendy Chitric | Living as a Rabbi in a Place Most Jews Wouldn’t Dare Go

MP3•Episode home

This is the extraordinary journey of Rabbi Mendy Chitric, a Chabad rabbi based in Turkey. Born in Swat, Pakistan, and part of an 11th-generation Chabad family, Rabbi Chitric has spent the last 25 years serving the Jewish community in Istanbul — a city where Jewish life dates back 2,700 years.

Originally planning to stay for just one year, Rabbi Chitric remained to answer the needs of a community facing significant challenges: assimilation, declining population, and a need for strong Jewish infrastructure.

This video dives deep into Rabbi Chitric’s insights on:🕍 The rich Jewish history of Istanbul 🕊️ The importance of Jewish-Muslim coexistence 📖 The power of Torah in maintaining identity 🌍 How Jewish traditions are celebrated from Turkey to Qatar 🕯️ A moving metaphor of candles and torches — spreading light together

He shares personal stories of interfaith relationships, the role of rabbis in Muslim countries, and the importance of mutual respect and faith in building a better world.

From acclaimed historian Uri Kaufman—whose analysis of the Yom Kippur War was hailed as a "masterpiece" by the CIA's Center for Intelligence—comes the urgent new book: "American Intifada: Israel, The Gaza War and the New Antisemitism." - Why are so many smart people so hostile to Israel? - Why has Amnesty International refused to acknowledge that Israeli women were raped in the October 7 attack?

- Why did The New York Times report in 2019 that Gaza faced a “draconian blockade”, even as it was supplied by thousands of Israeli trucks?

"American Intifada"—Truth that cuts through propaganda. Essential reading for understanding our moment. Available now on AMAZON from Republic Book Publishers.
