Time is Life: Preventing Suicide Instead of Responding to Suicide with Rabbi Shalom Hammer (82)

October 25, 2021 9:53 am

Less than two years ago, Gila Hammer died by suicide. Since that catastrophic tragedy, her father, Rabbi Shalom Hammer, has been working nonstop to advocate for important changes in the way that the Israeli establishment – medical and governmental – treats mental illness. Rabbi Hammer has also become an important advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. He does this in Gila’s memory, in order to do whatever is possible so that other families do not go through the horror that he, his wife, and children have experienced.

In this episode, Scott speaks with Rabbi Hammer about the serious problems that exist, and what can be done to help fix them.

If you would like to contribute – in Gila’s memory – to help Rabbi Hammer break stigmas in mental health, please click on www.jgive.com/new/en/usd/donation-targets/58560.

The crisis of Orthodox teachers leaving... and not coming back. (And they have good reasons, too.)

"A government that arose through blind hatred, out of evil argument not for the sake of heaven... a cursed government..."

A thread about religious Knesset members and the language they sometimes use against their opponents.

So my @Delta flight to New York was canceled, after an initial leg from Tel Aviv to Boston. I was told by an agent this morning that I would be notified about any changes by email. Nope. I found out by showing up. Not cool, Delta. (Yes cool @7News who interviewed me just now.)

All podcasters who use @SoundCloud: maybe this latest problem (the server 100% down) means that it's time to take the plunge and switch to an actual podcasting host like @libsyn. That's my plan...

Has Religious Zionism lost its way as Israel's moral voice? Listen to this fascinating interview with @YKleinHalevi to hear his take... and what can be done to help fix the problems that we face.
