What Are We Building That Will Last?

About this episode

Adrienne Gold Davis reflects on the importance of building a lasting legacy for future generations in the context of Jewish thought.

One of the most powerful ideas in Jewish thought is this: We are not just living for ourselves, we are building for the next generation. In this episode, Adrienne reflects on what it means to “choose legacy over self” and why effort doesn’t always lead to immediate results. It’s a perspective shift that feels especially relevant right now, when so much of life feels urgent and immediate. But the real question is: what are we building that will last?
