In this heartfelt conversation, Adrienne Gold Davis and Lori Palatnik, Founding Director of Momentum, discuss how unity, kindness, and personal growth serve as spiritual lifelines in moments of crisis. Drawing from Jewish values and personal stories, including a harrowing plane emergency, Lori shares insights on prayer, peace, and the profound impact of mitzvot. Together, they reflect on the current challenges facing Israel and the Jewish diaspora, the healing power of humility in relationships, and how intentional acts can offer protection, purpose, and renewed hope.
