General Members Writings

On May 11, 2021, CDT member Ben Newman led a Zoom workshop exploring both bipolar disorder and Jewish mystical teachings. Ben writes: "During my struggle with bipolar disorder, mystical practice played a large role in my ascent into madness, my recovery, and my process of coming to terms with myself as a healthy bipolar person. I'd like to share my experience of how kabbalistic concepts of balance relate to living with mental illness." Ben shared from his own experience, explore Jewish texts, and offer music and meditation.
