Question: For this week, I would like you to view a short (8 minutes) YouTube clip featuring Rabi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, interviewed by Jeffrey Mishlove on "Thinking Allowed", discussing the topic of what he calls, Spiritual Eldering.
Watch video: Rabbi Zalman Schachter: Spiritual Eldering (excerpt) -- A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove (By ThinkingAllowedTV)
After watching the video clip, answer the questions listed below:
• What is the essence of Spiritual Eldering as described by Rabi Zalman? Describe it in your own words; try to convey the gist of this interview in "simple" terms. Possibly imagine that you are talking to someone outside of these academic circles - what would you say the meaning of aging is, based on this interview?
• Give two examples of how you think elders can "upload" the wisdom of their life's work onto the consciousness of the next generation. Describe your thoughts in practical terms - what does it look like? What should older adults focus on, in terms of priorities, as part of their legacy?
