022: Legacy, Loss, and Laughter: A Conversation with Yehuda Geberer

What does it mean to leave a legacy—and can laughter help us face our own mortality?

Join host Shep Rosenman for a captivating conversation with acclaimed historian, host of the Jewish History Soundbites podcast, and tour guide Yehuda Geberer that’s equal parts profound and uplifting. Inspired by a moving visit to his parents’ graves and the timeless words of Psalm 16, Shep opens up to his nephew about the story behind his heartfelt song, “Can’t Stay Here Long.”

Together, Shep and Yehuda dive deep into the Hasidic tradition of "hisbodidus" (personal meditation/conversation with the divine), as taught by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, and explore how spirituality, memory, and humor intertwine in our lives. Discover how maintaining a sense of humor can help us navigate relationships, honor those who came before us, and create a lasting impact through acts of kindness.
