Rabbi Steve Leder: Finding Beauty in Suffering and Transformation

It's pain that presents us with an invitation to change our lives and how people react to it.
What if your deepest pain could become a source of profound growth? Rabbi Steve Leder knows this journey all too well. In this episode of 'Mental Health News Radio', he opens up about his personal experiences with suffering, chronic pain, and addiction. After a life-threatening car accident, Rabbi Leder found himself grappling with depression and an opioid addiction. This ordeal led him to write the best-selling book 'More Beautiful than Before: How Suffering Transforms Us'.
Rabbi Leder’s story is a raw, honest exploration of how pain can lead to unexpected wisdom and strength. He shares candidly about the humbling realization that much of his previous counsel lacked the depth of true understanding. Twice named one of the ten most influential rabbis in America by Newsweek Magazine, Rabbi Leder serves as the Senior Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles.
His reflections on grief, mental health, and the importance of compassion offer a fresh perspective on how we can support ourselves and others through tough times. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while none of us seeks out suffering, embracing it can enrich our lives in ways we never imagined.
