Episode Details

Rav Simcha Hochbaum grew up on Staten Island, in New York. Beginning in the second grade, when he heard about Avraham's Aliyah in Lech Lecha, he became focused on the idea of returning to the Land of Israel. He and his wife Leah were able to make that happen in 1995, moving to Hevron, the city of our forefathers and foremothers. Parents of six wonderful children, they still live in Hevron and that is where Goel sat to speak with Rav Simcha about his story.
