| Defining What’s Good | 24 Dec 2025 | 00:10:19 | |
In this encore episode of Rise and Shine, Adrienne Gold Davis explores a question Judaism takes seriously: How do we choose good when we’re capable of imagining both good and evil? Through a surprising story about “the sociopath test,” Adrienne unpacks how intelligence and intuition can be used to build or to harm – and why Jewish wisdom insists that what matters most is the path we choose. With teachings from Pirkei Avot, the concepts of Yetzer Hara and Yetzer HaTov, and the familiar “two wolves” parable, this episode offers a grounded, empowering reminder for Jewish women and mothers: small choices, repeated, shape the life you live.
