CH. 3: The Eternal Optimist

from JEW GONE ZEN · host Janna Pelle

Got it in before midnight. Shabbat Shalom, I'm proclaiming my new Shabbat the 18th of every month, right after I release this podcast, whichever day of the week it happens to fall... time for my day of rest to begin... In this episode, we explore the relationship between the Eternal Optimism that is Judaism, "Tragic Optimism", a term coined by Victor Frankl in his book, "Man's Search for Meaning," the first book of the Jew Gone Zen book club (DM @jewgonezen or email [email protected] to join), and how these mindsets subliminally carry us through our modern-day Jewish lives - whether we're aware of it or not - including how it informs our approach to navigating complicated feelings about Israel/Palestine.
