60 Day Journey. Finding Renewal in Times of Disruption

How do we react when our lives are disrupted—when routines and predictability are suddenly upended? Generally, disruption is disorienting. We thrive on consistency, on having a defined plan. When that gets shaken, it creates uncertainty, and we often feel confused, disturbed, even demoralized.

Whether it’s trauma, loss, or any unexpected event, especially when it disrupts our regular structures, it can make us feel like we’ve lost balance and control. We saw this with the onset of COVID, and we continue to experience it with the ever-increasing uncertainties of the world, amplified by technology and other unknowns.

However, the truth is, if we learn the right approach, disruption can become a powerful springboard for growth. 

As we approach the new year, Rosh Hashanah—a time of renewal—please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in our ongoing 60-Day Journey and explore how to discover renewal in times of disruption.
