A Story of Healing
The conversation with Rabbi Zvi Gluck you will not want to miss.
Over the last few weeks, as the remaining living hostages returned home after two unbearable years in captivity, something became clearer than ever before. Healing is not one emotion or one chapter. It is a journey made up of contrasts - grief and gratitude, darkness and unexpected moments of light, pain and the quiet reappearance of joy.
We have heard about Kiddush made every Friday night from a single bottle of grape juice that somehow never ran out. About Selichos said in Elul and fasting on Yom Kippur. About victims reviewing Chumash until they knew it by heart. And then the reunions - overwhelming relief, even as the horror lingers.
At Amudim, we see that same mix every single day. When someone comes to us facing abuse, addiction, trauma, or a mental health crisis, the beginning is often filled with pain. But that is never the whole story. Over time, new chapters begin to unfold - chapters where strength appears, where hope starts winning, where the possibility of joy becomes real again.
These moments do not erase what came before. They honor it. They remind us that healing is not the absence of pain. It is the emergence of life on the other side of it. And they remind us of something profound: we have become a community that does not only respond to crisis. We build towards hope. We create space for people to rediscover joy. We help rewrite endings.
This year’s Unite to Heal embraces that truth. It highlights the light that can break through even the hardest chapters and celebrates the resilience of those whose stories are still being written.
Where the next chapter of healing begins.
