The Spring 2020 issue of Jewish Educational Leadership, published by The Lookstein Center for Jewish Education, featured an article on resilience written by JEIC Managing Director Sharon Freundel.
In this personal piece entitled, The Roots of Resilience, Freundel reveals lessons learned from her family and the Tanakh that gave her the strength to persevere—then and still now—through traumatic life events.
“Two main sources provided me with insight and guidance for coping: lessons learned from my mother, of blessed memory, and lessons from Tanakh, both of which served to help me feel I was standing on solid ground rather than shifting sands during incredibly trying times and beyond.”
