New Life in America: Wanderings and Wonderings (ep. 2 of the “18+1 Miracle Escape”)
This is the second episode in a series focused on the life of Sage-ing founder, Rabbi Reb Zalman. This episode tells of the Schachter family’s passage through post-war trauma, grieving for their lost home and family, and adaptation to a new life in a new world. We learn how young Zalman was drawn into a life commitment to spirituality, andhow his inquiring heart and mind took him on international adventures that he never could have foreseen. We discover that the same people and issues that inspired the US Civil Rights Movement and Peace Movement also shaped young Zalman himself, as well as Jewish Renewal and the global Sage-ing project that he conceived and founded.
