Episode 48: Lovingkindness in a Time of War
December 21st, 2023 | Season 1 | 1 hr 7 mins
Can individual acts of loving-kindness really make a difference with Israel and Hamas at war? Rabbi Amy Eilberg, a longtime peace activist, says yes. This is a pastoral conversation in which Rabbi Eilberg addresses feelings of pain, anger and hopelessness that many of us have experienced during wartime. It’s about how individuals might seek healing and, maybe, how Jewish communities can address trauma to become healthier.
