## Resource

What does citizenship really mean—and what does Judaism have to say about it? In this third episode of the Independence miniseries, Rabbi Josh Feigelson reflects on the difference between a rights-focused mindset and a responsibility-focused one, drawing on the Jewish concept of mitzvah and Professor Jeremy Engels's Mindful Democracy. He closes with a practical week-long havruta accountability practice to help listeners build a habit of showing up for others in small, everyday ways. This episode draws on Professor Jeremy Engels' ⁠On Mindful Democracy: A Declaration of Interdependence to Mend a Fractured World⁠. Be in touch at josh@unpacked.media.
