On today’s episode, we have Rabbi Eli Cohen on the show again to talk with us about Passover, as it brings up the powerful theme of redemption. The holiday commemorates freedom and justice for all. Passover is centered around the retelling of the biblical story of the Jewish people being freed from slavery in Egypt. The holiday is so rich in symbolism and meaning, as it incorporates themes of springtime, homeland, family, Jewish history, social justice, and freedom. The central ritual of Passover is the Seder, which is a ritual packed feast with symbolic foods, intended to help the Jewish people relive God’s great redemptive act. The overarching theme of Passover is redemption – the divine redemption of the Israelites for the understanding of God, divine morality, and ethics. I’m really honored to have Rabbi Eli back on the show, to talk with us about redemption and renewal, as we can all think about how we can celebrate our freedom and the profound meaning it has on all of our lives.

Children today are faced with an increasingly complex world. What does a child need to thrive?

While providing a uniform definition of child well-being is difficult, it's generally understood that a child's well-being is a measure of the quality of their life, including how well they are and how well their life is going. This broad definition can easily encompass the different ways of assessing child well-being, such as health, education, family or social life, or safety and security concerns. A child's well-being is important, as it allows us to understand how children are coping in their world. It is with their well-being that we begin to learn about resilience. Join us in today's conversation as we talk about our children! Their well-being matters, because it's the building of a better foundation for the stronger sense of self. And what can't you do, if you have all of you? Dr. Garry Crummer, MD, is a board certified doctor in Pediatrics and Integrative and Holistic Medicine, in Santa Cruz, CA. ...
