<description>&lt;b&gt;Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this episode of the &lt;i&gt;18Forty Podcast&lt;/i&gt;, we talk to a father and daughter who were estranged and then reunited. We also speak with Adam Pollock, the estrangement specialist who inspired them to reconcile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this episode we discuss: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are there specific struggles that lead to estrangement in the Orthodox Jewish world?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How do we handle the tension between the need to heal and the need to be right? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How do we avoid regression once family members have been reunited? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Tune in to hear a conversation about our essential and unchanging identities that transcend our circumstances.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interview begins at 20:50. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam N. Pollock is the founder of Aaron’s Legacy, where he specializes in mediating family estrangement using a blend of ancient wisdom and modern conflict resolution techniques. Since 2015, he has helped individuals and families navigate some of their most painful relational fractures with compassion, rigor, and creativity. A former attorney and business executive, Adam brings decades of experience in negotiation, arbitration, and high-stakes decision-making to his work as an estrangement mediator. He holds a B.A. in Psychology from The George Washington University and a J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, and is the author of &lt;i&gt;Secrets From the Legal Pad&lt;/i&gt; (2023).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;References:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.37.31?lang=bi&amp;amp;aliyot=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Genesis 37:31&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Count-Monte-Cristo-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449264" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Count-Monte-Cristo-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449264" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;&lt;i&gt;T&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Count-Monte-Cristo-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449264" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;&lt;i&gt;he Count of Monte Cristo&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Alexandre Dumas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Psalms.121?lang=bi&amp;amp;with=all&amp;amp;lang2=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Psalms 121&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.artscroll.com/Authors/C.B._Weinfeld.html?srsltid=AfmBOorBC-LmkzJrqHZsMIdgC0lbLpkBa4cm-r8UiTI9DfI37jdLNqAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;Titles by C.B.
