How do you stay informed without feeling utterly overwhelmed by the constant stream of distressing news? This episode explores the delicate balance between empathy and productivity in a world where every headline seems to scream of unimaginable suffering. We draw inspiration from Jewish teachings, particularly the story of the Jews wandering in the wilderness, as explained by the commentator Rashi, to offer insights on managing the emotional toll of modern news consumption.
Join us as we uncover the concept of broad-mindedness and how expanding our perspective can help us endure and respond to the relentless news cycle. We'll discuss the importance of making space in our hearts to feel for those who suffer, yet not allowing the pain to paralyze us. With these teachings, we aim to help you maintain hope and resilience, ensuring that our empathy fuels our prayers and actions, allowing us to continue our responsibilities with strength and devotion.
