Rabbi Olivier Benhaim shares his experience of a heart attack and his sense of surprise after a heart attack. We discuss ideas of Fairness, Justice, Expectations, Planning, Attachment, Identity, Transitions, and we give recognition to the experiences of the loved ones of those who suffer major trauma. 

Traumatic experiences impact trauma sufferers’ loved ones too, something called Secondary Trauma. 

We also discuss Grief, the idea of “Falling from Grace”, Aging, Mourning, the machinery of the brain and the nature of thought, Kabbalistic principles about life, and we end the discussion with a guided meditation that I encourage you to try!
