<b>Our Intergenerational Divergence series is sponsored by our friends Sarala and Danny Turkel.</b><br /><br />In this episode of the <i>18Forty Podcast</i>, 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. <br /><br />In this episode we discuss: <br /><ul><li>Are there specific struggles that lead to estrangement in the Orthodox Jewish world?</li><li>How do we handle the tension between the need to heal and the need to be right? </li><li>How do we avoid regression once family members have been reunited? </li></ul>Tune in to hear a conversation about our essential and unchanging identities that transcend our circumstances.  <br /><br />Interview begins at 20:50. <br /><br />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 <i>Secrets From the Legal Pad</i> (2023).<br /><b></b><br /><b>References:</b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.37.31?lang=bi&amp;aliyot=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genesis 37:31</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Count-Monte-Cristo-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449264" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i></i></a><br /><i></i><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Count-Monte-Cristo-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449264" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>T</i></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Count-Monte-Cristo-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140449264" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>he Count of Monte Cristo</i></a> by Alexandre Dumas<br /><br /><a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Psalms.121?lang=bi&amp;with=all&amp;lang2=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Psalms 121</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.artscroll.com/Authors/C.B._Weinfeld.html?srsltid=AfmBOorBC-LmkzJrqHZsMIdgC0lbLpkBa4cm-r8UiTI9DfI37jdLNqAL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titles by C.B.
