Summary

Rabbi Sharon Brous, who was named the #1 most influential rabbi in the US, joins Wajahat to see if there's a path towards solidarity and healing among Jewish American communities and progressive communities of color in light of Israel's ongoing war in Gaza. How can our communities overcome their respective trauma and anger to unite against rising bigotry and white nationalism? How can people find connection and healing despite all the pain? Brous provides insight and reflections from personal experience and ancient wisdom to imagine new possibilities.
