This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation by Rabbi Dorothy Richman. Her teaching focuses on how, as we navigate these fearful, challenging times in our lives and our world, we can use the sacred quality of Netzach, our ability to endure, so we can persevere in our capacity to receive and transmit Chesed, to manifest love. Rabbi Richman shares powerful words from two authors of children's literature -- Matt de la Peña and Kate DiCamillo. These authors observe that literature for children can include painful, even heartbreaking experiences and emotions by enveloping them in love. Join her for this beautiful meditation to strengthen our capacity for holding our broken hearts with tenderness and love.
