Summary
In Part 2 of our series on mindfully engaging with the news, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores why the news so often sends us into emotional spirals—and how we can respond with more awareness and compassion. Drawing on the Buddhist teaching of the “second arrow,” Jewish wisdom about hesech hada’at, and a classic Talmudic story about Hillel the Elder, this episode offers a practical mindfulness practice to help us meet difficult news without adding unnecessary suffering.
