Parashat Shemini 5782: The Aftermath of Grief

Description: In this podcast, we will look at the deaths of Aaron and the different stages of grief presented in the midrash that reflect our own awareness that processing death takes time and brings into different emotional states of awareness. In particular, we will focus on one midrash that asks the question as to whether we can ever truly experience happiness in this world given the fragility of our existence.
