Summary
Help us take Unpacked podcasts further by supporting our crowdfunding campaign: https://unpacked.bio/podgift2025 Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the idea of family beyond biology—the “refrigerator friends” and chosen family who nourish our lives with love, care, and belonging. In part nine of the Family miniseries, Josh invites listeners to expand their definition of family. Drawing on Jewish texts, biblical stories, and personal reflection, Josh offers a guided meditation based on the Priestly Blessing to help cultivate compassion for ourselves, our loved ones, and even strangers.
