For this episode, we're share something a little different with you. It's a taste of a Premium Aleph Beta course we just released, called Refa'einu: Prayer, Sefirah and Healing from Trauma.

Tefillah: How Can I Pray Right Now? Like This?

Coronavirus is affecting our prayers. It’s affecting where we pray and with whom. Many of us are used to experiencing prayer as something communal, something we do in shul or synagogue. Now we do it alone, in our homes. It’s also affecting the urgency of our prayers. Our thoughts and hearts are full of concern for those who are sick, those caring for the sick, and those who may get ill. Many people who are used to including one or two names of sick people in their prayers are now including li...

Social Media, Corona and Finding Real Connection

If technology was a major part of our lives pre-corona, in the last few weeks it’s taken on a whole new level of importance. It enables us to work and learn from home, to stay updated and informed, and, most importantly, to stay connected. But there’s also a danger to technology. It can be addictive--especially during a crisis. Checking our phones, the news, and social media feeds can eat up our days and leave us emptier than before. In a time when online connection is nearly all we have, how...

How To Run A Meaningful Seder In The Era of COVID-19

This year, most of us are having seders that are a little different than what we'd anticipated. Some of us are doing it alone, when we're used to large family gatherings. Some are used to being guests, and are suddenly thrust into the limelight and role of "host." Most kids come home bursting with words of Torah from their classrooms, but this year, many haven't done their normal prep, changing the flow of the seder. In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu confront our expectations, throw them...

COVID-19 Close at Home: A Conversation with Malka Alweis

Like all workforces, Aleph Beta has been impacted in a lot of different ways by the current situation. But the most difficult part, by far, has been seeing some of our own co-workers struggle with the virus directly. From the anxiety of whether it is or isn’t COVID to hospital visits to waiting and hoping for recovery, our hearts are with each of our staff members who have come down with COVID-19 or are caring for someone who did. In this episode, Imu talks to Malka Alweis, our Director of Ma...

Avoiding the Anxiety Spiral: A Conversation With Therapist Eitan Zerykier

If the current pandemic has left you feeling a little more anxious than usual, well... that's to be expected. It's normal to feel anxious when we're confronted with so much uncertainty and such little control. You're not alone; many of us are having these feelings. So is there any way to keep it in check? To regain a sense of control, calm, even peace? In this episode, Imu talks to trauma therapist (and Aleph Beta COO) Eitan Zerykier about practical tools for staying in the present and not le...

Facing Our Fears

Fear. Whatever else we’re doing, whatever else we’re saying, fear is what most of us are feeling right now. We’re afraid of all the unknowns. We’re afraid of not having control over our futures. And, on the most basic level, we’re afraid of our human vulnerability. We’re afraid of death. Escaping these fears doesn’t seem like an option right now, but does that mean we’re doomed to be a slave to our fears? In this episode, Imu and Rabbi Fohrman open up about their own fears, and gr...
