The idea of teshuva rests on the belief that we can break from our past habits and transform ourselves. But sometimes people – whether the victim or not, whether knowingly or unknowingly – continue to hold fast to our past as part of their posturing towards us. Listening in on Invisibilia’s episode The Personailty Myth, which tells of the complicated relationship between a prisoner and a work colleague, allows us to explore ways in which we sometimes chain others – and ourselves – to the past.
Guests: Rabbi Dianne Cohler-Esses (Romemu), Professor David Dow (University of Houston, Texas Innocence Network)
