What does Judaism teach us about moments of deep despair? How can we cope when it feels like there’s nowhere else to turn? Rabbi Lauren Tuchman shares a teaching of the Piaseczna Rebbe.
On Jan 16, 2025, Rabbi Tuchman offered a brief talk for Laasok, a liberal bet midrash as part of their Tikva Through Text series. In this talk, recorded shortly after she returned from a meditation retreat just outside of LA, she spoke about the tremendous difficulty in finding and cultivating hope and the ways in which Jewish text and tradition can help us maintain and build our resilience for getting through very destabilizing times.
