In this episode of Detours & Destinations, Rabbi David Ingber sits down with writer, political advisor, and podcaster Dan Senor to explore a life shaped by the intersection of identity, power, and ideas. Senor reflects on his path — from growing up in the shadow of Holocaust memory, to his time on the ground in Iraq during a defining moment in U.S. foreign policy, to becoming a bestselling author with Start-Up Nation and The Genius of Israel. Now, as the host of the successful podcast Call Me Back, he examines the role of narrative in shaping public understanding, particularly in the context of the U.S.–Israel relationship. Against the backdrop of October 7 and its aftermath, this episode grapples with questions of global instability, rising antisemitism, generational divides within American Jewry, and the future of Israel’s place in the world. Ultimately, it is a conversation about navigating uncertainty — personally and collectively — and about the destinations we are still struggling to define.
