Dr. Elliot Malamet speaks with Rabbi Yossi Sapirman and Dr. Michelle Friedman about the stress and loneliness rabbis experience, their challenges in accessing mental health care, and what congregants do not understand about the lives of their spiritual leaders.
As we leave behind our Chanukah celebrations, we enter the month of Tevet. This is a month of cold and darkness, but one that symbolically evokes a fiery emotion. Tevet offers us the rare opportunity to examine anger from a place of peace that allows us to truly reflect on and understand the wisdom and potential carried within. This week’s episode of Living Jewishly is an instalment of Scared Time, a podcast devoted to the healing art of the Hebrew calendar.
In today’s world, we are not careful about the words we speak. And what we “punctuate”—in the sense of what we emphasize or accentuate—is often an attempt to play to the crowd rather than the more complex reality. But the consequences of a debased language threaten us all.
Tune in for an in-depth exploration of the ethics of radicalism and fanaticism, the DNA of Kahane’s desired revolution, and the lingering echoes of his rhetoric today.
Welcoming Tevet with Yoga and teachings! This month we focus on the sense of anger, and moving it through our body through postures, practice and meditation.
