Can Psychedelics be Holy? A Jewish Conversation on Healing

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/589555/fan_mail/new] Can psychedelics help heal trauma? What happens when ancient spiritual wisdom meets modern mental health treatment? And how can we approach altered states of consciousness through both a clinical and Jewish lens? In this week's episode of Holy Health, I sit down with attorney, mental health advocate, and founder of The Jewish Healing Society, Adriana Kertzer, to explore the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapy and its potential role in treating PTSD and trauma. Adriana shares her work at the intersection of psychedelic science and Jewish life, including her research on psychedelic-informed mental health responses following the October 7th attacks in Israel and among Nova Festival survivors. Then, in our Torah extro I'm joined by Ginny Kafka, whom Adriana lovingly refers to as her rebbitzin. Together, we examine how Judaism understands altered states, suffering, healing, and spiritual transformation. We discuss whether profound experiences can become catalysts for growth and how Torah wisdom can help us think deeply and responsibly about healing trauma. Join us for a thoughtful, nuanced conversation at the crossroads of psychedelics, PTSD, and Torah. - - - - -  YouTube: https://youtu.be/AZ6tlEpv5K0 [https://youtu.be/AZ6tlEpv5K0] - - - - -  Links: Learn more about Jewish Healing Society: www.jewishhealingsociety.org [http://www.jewishhealingsociety.org/] - Follow JHS on Subtack: https://substack.com/@jewishhealingsociety?r=2idzo&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page [https://substack.com/@jewishhealingsociety?r=2idzo&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page] - Stay up to date on the News of the Jews in the psychedelic space: https://www.linkedin.com/company/107376994/admin/dashboard/ [https://www.linkedin.com/company/107376994/admin/dashboard/] - - - - - Holy Health Podcast: Email: Holyhealthpodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @holy_healthpodcast wwwwHolyhealthpodcast.com Holy Health Official Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/589555/9876240 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/589555/9876240] Holy Health YouTube Account: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrYPOvFawrjhH_2U7r61M2Q [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrYPOvFawrjhH_2U7r61M2Q] Musach Haguf: Instagram: @darapt613 @holy_healthpodcast - - - - - This podcast has been edited by  Yakir Abelow of 'YA Joker productions' For more information contact: https://wa.me/c/972586918089 [https://wa.me/c/972586918089] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yakir_abelow_photography/ [https://www.instagram.com/ya_jokerproductions/]
