In this episode, we gather in a moment of shared grief and fear, reflecting on recent violence and the weight many are carrying—especially within immigrant communities. Drawing on Jewish wisdom and lived experience, Mariposa Duenas of Jewtina y Co. explores how faith and action together help us endure dark times, reminding us that we are not meant to carry these burdens alone. Join her for a powerful teaching and meditation for this moment, inviting each of us to find courage, connection, and hope by showing up and shouldering the burden for one another.
