What does it look like to prioritize loving kindness, support for others’ success, and rest with intention?

In this episode of How We Future, Lisa is talking with Rabbi Shira Stutman, a nationally recognized rabbi, author of The Jewish Way to a Good Life and host of the podcast Chutzpod!

Shira is the full-time rabbi of Aspen Jewish Congregation and the former Founding Rabbi of Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, a groundbreaking spiritual and cultural center in Washington, DC.

In this episode, Lisa and Shira discuss:

• Chesed (loving-kindness) as a crucial practice in this time
• Why allowing yourself to receive care can be harder than giving it
• What community really looks like, and where you can learn to build it
• How rest is a human right

Lisa learns about "schepping nachas," which is experiencing true joy from someone else’s success. If you’re curious how ancient wisdom can be radically practical and how small moments of connection can create huge ripple effects, this episode is for you.
