Description

For this, the final episode of this podcast, Rabbi Angela Buchdahl explores the Jewish approach to goodbyes, revealing how Hebrew farewells like lehitra'ot ("until we meet again") and hadran alach ("I will return to you") express hope for reunion rather than finality. Reflecting on traditional blessings recited when seeing someone after a long separation, she notes that how Jewish tradition doesn't take reunions for granted. Join her for a short meditation on honoring both the difficulty of parting and the sacred nature of return.
