Joey Rosenfeld: What Does Jewish Mysticism Say About This Moment? [Teshuva Bonus Episode]

This series is sponsored by Mira and Daniel Stokar.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with rabbi, psychotherapist, and “translator” Joey Rosenfeld about how our generation can understand languages of mysticism, philosophy, and suffering in today’s chaotic world.

In this episode we discuss:

Where should we channel our spiritual work as we near two years since October 7?
Will Mashiach come in our lifetime?
What is the purpose of yearning and desire?

Tune in to hear a conversation about how “Yiddishkeit is the guardian of deficiency.”

Interview begins at 8:49.

Rabbi Joey Rosenfeld is a practicing psychotherapist in the addiction field focusing on the interface between philosophy, spirituality, and psychology. His shiurim on Jewish philosophy, Kabbalah and the inner workings of the human soul have been watched and listened to by thousands around the world and he has a dedicated following of students from the entire spectrum of the Jewish community.
