From Foolishness to Wisdom: Working with Frustration

In this episode, Rabbi Angela Buchdahl explores how her childhood experience of learning piano taught her to endure the frustration that comes with being in the "learning space" – the uncomfortable gap between not knowing and knowing. Drawing from psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy's insights, she reflects on how embracing frustration rather than rushing to knowledge can lead to true mastery and wisdom. Join her for a short teaching and meditation on cultivating the patience we need to actually learn.
