In this episode we explore the transformative power of perspective. Sharing an inspiring story of a friend's 18-year journey to convert to Judaism, I reflect on how experiences, even challenging ones, can be internalized positively. My friend’s reaction to encountering anti-Semitism—embracing it as a badge of honor and joy—provides a profound lesson about choosing resilience and pride in the face of adversity. Together, we examine how internalizing struggles can uplift and strengthen us, offering a new perspective on navigating hardships as part of the Jewish experience.

Tune in for an uplifting story and a powerful reminder of the strength we hold within.
