## Resource

In this episode of Weird Being Jewish , Rabbis Jeffrey Weill, Matt Reimer, and Josh Rose talk about Jewish perseverance, grit, and survival — why resilience has become such a central Jewish value, and what it costs us when survival becomes the whole story. Starting with the instinct to "show up" after tragedy, the conversation moves into deeper questions about Am Yisrael Chai , the Shema, chosenness, peoplehood, antisemitism, and whether Judaism is ultimately about enduring for our own sake or persevering in order to serve something larger than ourselves.
