What’s Your Fish?

When you feel like running away, where do you go to see things from a new perspective? In this episode of TEXTing, Elana Stein Hain and Yonah Hain explore the story of Jonah and the fish — the story traditionally read as haftorah on Yom Kippur afternoon — through the lens of Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer, Chapter 10, Section 9. Through this powerful midrash, Elana and Yonah discuss how temporarily seeking shelter from our problems can help us approach them in a more thoughtful and healthy way. They ask the question: what’s your fish?   Episode Source Sheet   You can now sponsor an episode of TEXTing. Click HERE to learn more.    JOIN OUR EMAIL LIST FOR MORE HARTMAN IDEAS
