In this episode, Rabbi Angela Buchdahl reflects on the profound resilience shown by individuals who have endured extreme hardships, particularly focusing on the stories of hostages recently freed from Gaza. She shares the moving tale of Liri Albag, a young woman who was captured at 18 and demonstrated remarkable strength by standing up to captors to protect others. Through her stories, including one where she insisted on not leaving without her fellow captives, the episode explores themes of survival, the power of the human spirit, and the significance of resilience in the face of adversity. Rabbi Buchdahl encourages listeners to tap into their own sources of strength, drawing inspiration from the courage displayed by those like Liri.
