## Resource

How do we survive the 24/7 news cycle without losing our balance—or ourselves? In Part 4 of our miniseries on mindfully engaging with the news, Rabbi Josh Feigelson introduces Shabbat Mind as a Jewish response to nonstop media and constant urgency. Reflecting on the disorientation of an always-on news environment, Josh reframes Shabbat not just as a weekly day of rest, but as a mindset that helps us step off the treadmill of breaking news. Drawing on the Hebrew connection between chadashot (news) and hitchadshut (renewal), he offers Shabbat as a practical path to staying informed while remaining grounded, present, and whole.
