The Psychology of Exile

Judaism turned exile into a lived experience of meaning and resilience. Join Rabbanit Fran Miller as she discusses how the psychology of exile continues to shape Jewish consciousness through memory, identity, and hope. Explore ideas such as zecher l’churban in daily halacha and practice, national and personal experience forming Jewish identity in galut, and Jerusalem being the enduring center of Jewish hope, orientation, and longing.
