In this premiere episode of Jewish Table Talks, we sit down with Mr. Asher Sebbag — a deeply committed Torah Jew and the founder & CEO of Hadas Capital, a successful real estate company in Israel.
Despite having a comfortable and well-established life in the United States, Mr. Sebbag chose to uproot everything and move his family to Israel. In this honest and inspiring conversation, he shares the real challenges of aliyah — the financial strain, the cultural adjustments, the spiritual growth — and why, even through the hardships, he believes it was the best decision of his life.
Together, we explore:
- What are the emotional, financial, and social costs of aliyah?
- How do you navigate tension with family who want you to stay in the U.S.?
- Can Anglos truly integrate into Israeli society?
- Should yeshiva students consider staying after their year?
- And what does it mean to live a life of Torah and business in Israel?
If you’ve ever dreamed of aliyah — or struggled with it — this conversation is for you.
