Ep 267: Ordinary Heroes with Bernie Furshpan and guest Rebecca Sassouni
In this episode of Ordinary Heroes on hmTv, host Bernie Furshpan sits down with Rebecca Sassouni—lawyer, educator, nonprofit leader, school board trustee, and newly ordained rabbi. Rebecca shares the remarkable journey that shaped her deep commitment to justice, education, and Jewish life, from her upbringing as the daughter of Iranian immigrants to her work as an advocate and community leader.
Together, Bernie and Rebecca explore themes of empathy, law as a restorative tool, listening as a foundation for leadership, and the importance of inclusivity in Jewish institutions—especially in the wake of rising antisemitism. Rebecca also reflects on the lessons she hopes to pass on to the next generation: adaptivity, resilience, and the enduring wisdom of family and heritage.
A conversation rich with humanity, history, and hope, this episode highlights how ordinary individuals lead extraordinary lives of service and impact.
