If you've ever struggled with anything -- I mean emotionally, not physically -- there is a moment after you've overcome it, a day after you've made it past that obstacle. That is a moment, or a day, unlike any other. It feels like freedom.
You might have to experience it several times before you are truly free. But it's like rising above the clouds for a moment to see the sun. You can never forget that light. It stays with you. Eventually, it guides you out from the darkness.
I'm nurturing thoughts of that moment today. Many of us have experienced it. My wish for you today, and for the world, is that you will experience it, too. There is no freedom quite like the freedom one gives to, and earns for, oneself.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
