Show Notes

On today’s page, Menachot 39, we learn that the way we tie ourselves to our commandments reflects the way we tie ourselves to each other. Barbara Edelson Peterson, author of Kvell: A Word You Should Know, bridges the gap between clinical psychology and Jewish tradition to show how celebrating others—even a grumpy teenager—activates the reward circuits in our brains. What does it take to move from an obsession with victimhood to a practice of authentic, spontaneous joy? Listen and find out.
