Moving From Fear to Awe: Navigating Modern Politics Through Jewish Wisdom

In this episode, we explore the concept of yirah in Judaism, which encompasses both fear and awe, through the story of Moses at the burning bush. We discuss how this duality can guide our responses to challenges in the modern political landscape. Instead of allowing fear to drive division and exclusion, we can choose awe—embracing humility, reverence, and a sense of interconnectedness. By choosing awe over fear, we align our actions with Jewish values, leading to more just and compassionate decisions in both personal and political spheres
