How do people make friends as adults?

In this episode of the Kehillah RVA Podcast, Rabbi Patrick explores why true, lasting friendships are so rare — and so essential — in our adult lives. 

We’ll talk about:

• Why adult friendships feel impossible sometimes
• How to tell the difference between a true friend and a “frenemy”
• What Balak and Balaam teach us about blessings and curses
• How showing up for others creates more than connection — it creates life

Drawing on Parshat Balak (Numbers 22:2-25:9), he reflects on what it means to be a friend who delights in others’ blessings, and how choosing abundance over competition changes everything.

Whether you’re craving deeper connection, or trying to be a better friend yourself, this episode will inspire you to choose blessing — and friendship — every time.
