The Marathon Runner of the Soul: Finding Meaning When Our Role Changes
What happens to my sense of worth when I can no longer work or perform the way I once did?
This source-based essay from From Mount Sinai to Everyday Life explores the question: What happens to my sense of worth when I can no longer work or perform the way I once did? The canonical Hebrew article develops the theme through Torah sources and reflection on everyday life. This localized discovery layer preserves the source’s meaning and identity; it does not turn metaphors, pastoral reflections, or source-reported claims into new halakhic, medical, psychological, legal, historical, political, scientific, or empirical conclusions.
