In this time of pandemic, how do we build lives of meaning? How do we hold on to faith and find hope when there is so much chaos, devastation, and reason to despair? In this episode (recorded on the eve of Passover in April 2020), Rabbi Knopf explores these and other questions, using an ancient teaching from Pirkei Avot (Wisdom of the Sages) as a starting point. “Socially Distant, Spiritually Close” is hosted and recorded by Rabbi Michael Knopf and produced by Dr. Gillian Frank. Theme music is composed and produced by Stephen Frost. Cover art was designed by Judith Rushin, using a photograph by Miriam Aniel.
