Video Blog: Episode 14 - "You're So Brave"

4/30/2024

0 Comments

 
I have been thinking about the reasons that I, in the face of a possible terrible future, find the energy and point of view of trying to imagine a journey of meaning and impact facing my diagnosis. I want to attribute at least part of that to my friend, Rabbi Laszlo Berkowits, and what he with his life has taught me – never give up.

I am often told I am so brave for performing my play Dementia Man, An Existential Journey! Rabbi Berkowits was an example of what it truly means to be brave and has inspired me to continue to live my best life everyday.

1. "Going Away" (the moment of receiving my diagnosis)
2. "Sam's Psalm" (reflects my transition in this disease)
