    Reflections on the Tragedy of Bondi

    We are back, and we are starting the year on  a slightly serious note, given the way that last year ended.  Jacob and Tai-Sen talk about the Bondi terror attack, how we can respond to such violence, and what each of our roles might be - as spiritual people but also humans.  WARNING: this episode contains discussion of the Bondi Terror attack, violence and hatred in general. Please skip this episode if you feel it is not something you are ready or wanting to hear about.    https://www.nsw.gov.au/community-services/one-mitzvah-for-bondi
