A Tree by the River: Family, Legacy, and Where We Come From (Part 10)
22/12/2025 | 10 mins.
Help us take Unpacked podcasts further by supporting our crowdfunding campaign: https://unpacked.bio/podgift2025 In the final episode of the Family miniseries, Rabbi Josh Feigelson reflects on family, ancestry, and legacy through the Jewish image of a tree planted by a river, drawing on his own family’s genealogy, stories of loss and recovery after the Shoah, and the Hebrew ideas of nachal (stream) and nachalah (inheritance) to explore how knowing where we come from helps us understand where we are—and where we’re headed. Weaving together themes from across the series, including chosen family, intergenerational connection, forgiveness, and responsibility to future generations, Josh closes with a guided mindfulness practice that invites listeners to see themselves as rooted in an ongoing stream of family and values, intentionally passing meaning, love, and legacy downstream.
