What happens after death in Judaism?

Adrienne explores the Jewish perspectives on the afterlife, the soul, and mourning, and how these ideas shape how we respond to loss. Drawing on personal experience, she reflects on why words often feel inadequate in grief and why presence can matter more than explanations.

Through a well-known Jewish parable and classic sources, this episode offers insight into how life prepares us for what comes next, and how we can better support others through loss.

One of the most powerful ideas in Jewish thought is this: We are not just living for ourselves, we are building for the next generation.

In this episode, Adrienne reflects on what it means to “choose legacy over self” and why effort doesn’t always lead to immediate results.

It’s a perspective shift that feels especially relevant right now, when so much of life feels urgent and immediate.

But the real question is: what are we building that will last?
