My Rock ‘n Roll Jewish Heritage Is Beautiful to Me |
This column is inspired by a recent photo I saw in the news of ordinary Israeli citizens coping with the stresses of war and bombardments in underground shelters. There was an older gentleman playing guitar next to an impromptu yoga class, next to an underground daycare tent city with festive lights, next to a minyan praying.
I have been thinking of the IDF soldiers and citizens who may be suffering from PTSD and other stresses, and wanted to recommend music therapy and playing guitar as a wonderful way to reconnect with yourself and soothe your soul. It just might help and it might save a life. Try it!
There is a Canadian angle here. A nice Jewish neuroscientist by the name........
