Henrik Beckheim: A Voice of Courage

Since the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, Henrik Beckheim has emerged as one of the most influential Jewish voices in Norway, bringing clarity, courage, and firsthand perspective to the national conversation about antisemitism, Jewish identity, and Israel.

In this episode of Insight, Jan-Aage Torp welcomes Henrik for a thoughtful conversation about his family history as a descendant of Holocaust survivors, his personal journey, and the calling that led him to leave a successful career as a professional photographer to dedicate himself to communicating about Jewish life.

Henrik shares how his podcasts and his book, Fear and Silence, give voice to the experiences of Jews in Norway after October 7, while addressing the growing challenges facing the Jewish community. He also reflects on the noticeable rise in antisemitism across Norway and explains why the support shown by many Norwegian Christians has been such a source of encouragement.

Join us tonight in this conversation with one of Norway’s leading Jewish voices as he shares his story, his convictions, and his hope for the future.
