Eli Beer is usually asked how he saves lives. This conversation asks what that responsibility takes from him.

In this conversation on Behind the Bima, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg explores the personal and moral questions that emerge when responsibility never fully turns off: how leadership reshapes identity, how boundaries are tested under constant urgency, and what it takes to carry a mission over years without burning out or losing perspective.

This conversation goes far beyond emergency response. It’s about resilience, responsibility, faith, and the power of people who refuse to stand still when lives are on the line.

NOTE: Our release schedule has changed. Episodes will now premiere on Tuesdays at 6am EST.
