What A Princeton Student Taught Me

Description

In a Princeton classroom, I brought food for everyone — but one student didn’t touch a single bite. Why? He was on the rowing team and didn’t want to weigh down the boat. That simple act of awareness left a lasting impression. It’s a powerful metaphor for life: our choices, words, and actions can either weigh down or lift those around us. In this episode of Judaism on Fire, we explore the spiritual and practical wisdom behind mindfulness, responsibility, and the impact one person can have on a group — in classrooms, communities, and even families. ✡️ You’ll learn: How small actions can influence the people and systems around us Why awareness of our “weight” is a key to ethical living Practical ways to be mindful of the energy we bring into any situation 💬 Think about your own life — where have your actions lightened or weighed down the “boat” around you?
