From Trauma to Transformation: A Conversation with Rabbi Tirzah Firestone
Join Rabbi Andrue Kahn for a conversation with Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, acclaimed Jungian psychotherapist, teacher of Jewish renewal, and author of Wounds into Wisdom: Healing Intergenerational Jewish Trauma. Drawing on Jewish tradition, psychology, and case studies from across the globe, Rabbi Firestone offers seven principles for transforming inherited pain into resilience and moral clarity. Together, we'll explore how Jewish wisdom can guide us through grief, hope, and collective transformation in this season of reflection.
What does it take to turn generational pain into resilience and wisdom? Rabbi Tirzah Firestone has spent her life exploring that question as a psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, and the author of Wounds into Wisdom, as well as an incredible recent article, From Lamentation to a New Jewish Vision: https://ayinpress.org/from-lamentation-to-a-new-jewish-vision/. On September 11, she joins Rabbi Andrue Kahn for a conversation on Jewish healing, moral courage, and the power of ancient practices to help us face the crises of our time with clarity and hope.

The Halakhic Process: Jewish Worldbuilding Beyond Empire with Rabbi Avigayil Halpern
In this four-session course, we explore halakhah, often reductively glossed as "Jewish law," as a powerful resource for the Jewish left. We will examine how the halakhic process works, how its modes of thinking push against and beyond empire, and why this system, developed parallel to the modern state, may be uniquely suited to building the world we want to live in.
