There are problems that affect so many and yet so few talk about them, which is why R. Efrem Goldberg and Moshe Yachnes bring you OUT OF THE SHADOWS: A Jewish Approach to Mental Health, hosted by the Boca Raton Synagogue and Onward Living's Adopt Initiative. Rabbi Goldberg and Moshe speak to leaders in the field and discuss contemporary challenges to help us better understand mental health and those who are struggling with it.
This week, we are focusing on OCD.
On this episode we are joined by:
- Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Schwartz (Clinical Director for the Center of Anxiety Relief), a practicing psychologist and rabbi of Congregation Adath Israel in Elizabeth, New Jersey
- Mordy Gottlieb, a clinical social worker based in Scottsdale, Arizona who describes his struggles with OCD
- Rebecca Klempner, an inspiring writer who discusses her experiences and how she has managed her OC.
We hope you find this episode meaningful and helpful. And be sure to check out the show notes for further resources.
