What is so painful about forgetting? The Jewish people rely on collective memory to keep traditions and communities alive, so a loss of memory is equivalent to a loss of connection. On this episode of TEXTing, Elana Stein Hain and Leora Batnitzky examine a passage from the Sifrei Devarim (Midrash on the Book of Deuteronomy), chapter 48, and explore our fear of forgetting, and how we keep memory alive.
