I am Grateful to have rediscovered this photo my father took of me with one of my personal heroes: Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski. This was following a great lecture at a synagogue in Boston that Rabbi Twerski gave back in 2015 focusing on the twelve-step program and how it mirrors many principles of traditional Jewish thought.
Rabbi Twerski is not only a tremendously learned man, he is also a fantastic psychiatrist who’s work on fighting stigma associated with addictions is legendary. I am always inspired by his teachings which successfully mix decades of clinical wisdom with millennia of Torah thought.
