Episode: Showing Up – Rachael Shapiro’s Natural Return to Israel

In this heartfelt episode, Brad speaks with Rachael Shapiro, whose deep, 30-year connection to Israel made returning after October 7 not just a choice—but a calling. From the moment of devastation, Rachael knew the only place she could truly be was in Israel, standing with the people and offering whatever support she could.

With a history rooted in kibbutz life and Sar-El volunteering, Rachael shares how she jumped into action, using the Sword of Iron page and chat groups to build a day-by-day plan of service—from soldier barbecues to powerful Bear Witness tours in the South. Despite the chaos, she describes feeling an instant sense of belonging and purpose, even as the experiences triggered waves of déjà vu.

This is a moving conversation about instinct, identity, and the deep power of simply showing up.
