The Jewish Story Podcasts with Peter Mond

Thriving Beyond Surviving

This podcast is about the deep connections between four stories I recently heard: a forest of five million trees growing in a desert; a Holocaust survivor describing how she survived and thrived; a Rabbi living for thirteen in a cave who became a beacon of light for Jews during the last two thousand years; and a thirteen year old girl silently suffering in a very difficult volatile family environment, surviving, but not thriving. Hearing these stories challenge us to go beyond what is, they wake up our imagination, they plant hope in our lives and move us in the direction of action.

Taking a Hint

According to the Jewish tradition one of the ways that God communicates with us is through hints. God talks to us through events in the natural world, in the human world and through experiences in our inner world. In this Podcast we hear stories of hints that come in very different ways: in the form of physical blows, dreams, listening to a conversation in a pub. The question is are we capable of listening to the hint hidden within the event and responding to the message?  Send a text to Peter [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2508407/fan_mail/new]
