Sleeping While the Storm is Raging

  • Summary

  • In preparation for Yom Kippur, arriving at the end of the week this episode is coming out, we read the first chapter of the book of Jonah, which is traditionally read on Yom Kippur afternoon. We discuss how Jonah’s sleeping through the raging storm can be viewed through the lens of a depressed mind, unable to see how change is possible, and thus giving up, and how a similar mindstate can also be caused by climate despair. We take heart in the example of the sailors who try every solution to their problem despite the hectic nature of the crashing waves.
