There’s a lot going on, and we all need to talk about it. Join us on Aleph Beta Quarantined for Torah-infused, open and timely discussions on life in quarantine. From Passover hacks to spiritual reflections, we’re covering it all with compassion, community and a Torah perspective.

We’re now several days into the new normal... except that the new normal changes every day. 

In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman shares his thoughts on finding spiritual strength in the face of chaos. He begins by looking at a model in the Talmud of someone who attempted to hold onto normalcy: Marta bat Baitos, Martha daughter of Boethus, a noblewoman who struggled to live through the days of the destruction of the Temple. Rabbi Fohrman also reflects on Stephen Covey’s circle of control and raises the question of how we, as religious people, can use faith to let go of what we can’t control to focus more completely on what we can.
