19 min - 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?

About The Jewish Story Podcasts with Peter Mond
From the publisher's feed
In each audio Peter weaves a unique tapestry of Jewish stories taken from diverse sources - Hasidic stories; Holocaust stories; Stories from Ancient and Modern Israel; and Personal Meaning stories.…
By telling stories we continue the chain of narrators, some 3,500 years old. We light a warm fire of tales and teachings about how Jews have struggled and overcome suffering, darkness, emptiness and loneliness. Exploring the nature of human beings and their quest for meaning, the stories reveal the essence of the Jewish Story - the meeting between human beings and the Divine in everyday life.
