From Hollywood to Israel during war. In this powerful episode, actress Diane Neal — best known for her roles on Law & Order: SVU, NCIS and Suits — shares why she left a successful television career behind to make aliyah in the middle of one of Israel’s most difficult periods. Diane opens up about the loss of her father during COVID, her mother’s battle with stage four cancer, and the emotional decision that brought her to Israel in 2022. She became an Israeli citizen in March 2023 — arriving with just a carry-on suitcase — only to find herself navigating October 7, regional escalation, and the challenges of starting over in a new country. Now serving as a special envoy and ambassador for aliyah with Israel’s Aliyah and Integration Ministry, Diane speaks candidly about faith, resilience, bureaucracy, identity, and why she believes that “life in Israel isn’t easy — but it’s worthwhile.” This is a conversation about reinvention, purpose, Jewish identity, and choosing meaning over comfort. The end credits music is Diane’s original song, which you can find here: https://music.apple.com/us/album/hatikva-for-noam/1881478011?i=1881478012
