Rabbi Sharon Brous is the founding rabbi of\u202fIKAR, a Jewish community in Los Angeles, and the author of The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Heal Our Hearts and Mend Our Broken World. In this conversation, Rabbi Brous emphasizes the importance of \u201csacred encounters,\u201d people truly see and hear each other's stories, particularly in times of grief or pain. She also points to the Jewish ritual of asking the brokenhearted, \u201cTell me what happened to you?\u201d as a model for deep, empathetic listening.
