Welcome to Times Will Tell, The Times of Israel’s weekly feature podcast.
Our guest this week is Dr. Mark Shinar, who captured the attention of host Amanda Borschel-Dan through his moving blog, “Broken roads: Leadership, authenticity and sexuality.”
The blog discusses how, as an Orthodox father, husband and educator, Mark came out of the closet a year and a half ago. We’ll hear segments of the blog throughout the longer-than-usual episode.
Shinar has been a Jewish day school administrator and head of school for 20 years and has worked in Jewish summer camps for more than 25 years. Today, his main focus is on helping schools shape cultures that inspire within its administrators, teachers and students a willingness to be vulnerable, take risks and live lives of courageous authenticity and empathy.
Shinar made aliyah in 2017 and lives in Modiin where he and his ex-wife are raising their four sons.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
