Emigration is more than just moving to another country. It’s the loss of home, a rupture with your familiar self, and the search for belonging in a new reality. How can one preserve the soul, stay connected to their roots, and feel at home while living between two worlds?
In this new episode on the “Menorah” YouTube channel, Sara Kaminezki and her father, the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, reflect on the deep emotional and spiritual challenges of emigration:
– What it means to lose a home — physically and spiritually
– Why success abroad can still feel like failure
– How to deal with loneliness and identity loss
– How to raise children in a new culture without losing your own
– The difference between assimilation and integration
– The role of language, memory, and Torah
– What Jewish tradition says about exile, longing for home, and the soul’s mission in the diaspora
This episode explores the pain and transformation of emigration — and the path back home that begins within.
