How to Be A Source of Light in this Season

by Nina Fondiller Woldin

There is an Instagram post by @sefiracreative that has been circulating recently. It addresses a phenomenon that has cast a shadow over many of us since October 7: Antisemitism online.

The post gives ten “ways to detox” from this affliction…

1. Put away your phone
2. Take a walk
3. Learn/practice Jewish prayer
4. Call a Jewish friend
5. Practice breathwork
6. Light Shabbat candles to usher in peace
7. Learn some Torah
8. Learn a Jewish song
9. Do a mitzvah
10. Dance it off

…and I have some to add:

11. Find support in studying with your Chai Mitzvah group
12. Understand the situation in more depth with Scholars Circle live lectures
