Goldberg-Polins indicate they’re being pushed to enter public life

Asked during a Channel 12 interview about this next unknown chapter of their lives, Jon and Rachel Goldberg-Polin admit to still being uncertain regarding how they’ll move forward.

Jon indicates that they have received encouragement to enter public life.

“We talk about, ‘Do we go back to our former selves? Do we slip back into the jobs that we were in on October 5 last year, or should we be doing something else?”

“One of the things that we’ve seen clearly is Israelis and even the world are hungry for something. And I’m not saying it’s John and Rachel, but we have people who come to us and say, ‘We need voices of clarity, of sanity. And we say to ourselves, ‘Well, we’re just bereaved parents. I’m not sure that we’re those voices.’ But we do talk a lot about what we do from here. We don’t know yet,” Jon says.

Rachel admits having a hard time no longer being anonymous and of being “the trigger for someone to be in emotional pain.”

“I know everyone’s coming from a good place. No one would ever, ever do anything to intentionally cause us pain. But it’s painful,” she says.
