Resilience describes the combined psychological strength to cope with stress and hardship while creating an adaptable Plan B. Adam Grant, noteworthy organizational psychologist , explains, “I don’t think there is any skill more critical than resilience.”

The field of research on resilience demonstrates that intrinsic motivation mechanisms fuel the development of resilience. Embedded in the fiber of Judaism, resilience emerges in many ways through our texts, rituals, and beliefs.

During the time of Coronavirus, stressors and altered learning platforms require a teacher to inculcate this Jewish trait of resilience more explicitly into the students. Being able to return to normal after or grow from a negative situation (an aspect of resilience) involves filling the toolbox before the stressful situation occurs.
