Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I’m Alex Segal and I am so excited about this conversation with Rebbetzin Yehudis Golshevsky. We’re in a difficult time for the Jewish people. We just marked 180 days since October 7 — six whole months since Israel and the Jewish people were attacked on Simchat Torah. It’s hard to believe. It’s so hard to know that every single day, 134 hostages still remain in captivity, our soldiers are still fighting and our people are at risk
There is increased antisemitism around us. Incredible gaslighting about what Israel is doing in self-defense and just to survive and protect its people, our people. It’s truly a painful moment and it can be confusing to know where to turn or where to find hope. This conversation with Rebbetzin Golshevsky, I hope will help you find some comfort.
In our conversation, we speak about:
- Rebbetzin Golshevsky’s path to becoming a profound Torah teacher
- How to connect to Nisan and Pesach during this unique time we’re in and how we can extract so much meaning out of it
- How to become joyful at this time
- Why things may look so gross and ugly on the outside right now and what that means for the Jewish people
- The process of redemption — what we can look to for hope
- How to free yourself from something personal you’re working on
…and so much more!
