What I found in Judaism was not necessarily a community of believers, but a community of searchers and dedicated searchers to finding a way to be in relationship with God.
Have you ever wondered how a shift in faith can impact one's path to sobriety? In this intriguing episode of Father Bill W., we meet Yisrael C., whose life story is as colorful as it is inspiring. Growing up as a Catholic kid in Philadelphia, Yisrael's journey took him all the way to becoming an Orthodox Jew and a stand-up comedian in Israel. His tale is a fascinating blend of tragedy, comedy, and profound spiritual growth.
Working at the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Yisrael finds joy in helping newcomers navigate their own paths to sobriety, infusing humor and humanity into the often challenging recovery process. Throughout the conversation, he and Father Bill W. delve into the significance of spiritual practice, particularly the lost 11th Step of Two Way Prayer, and how it has shaped his recovery.
Yisrael's unique perspective on finding God through Judaism and the role of humor in healing offers fresh insights for anyone on their own recovery journey. This episode isn't just about faith or sobriety; it's about finding a community and a sense of purpose that transcends religious boundaries. Whether you're struggling with addiction, seeking spiritual growth, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and recovery, Yisrael's story will leave you both entertained and inspired.
