This study explores ‘Spiritual Comfort’, a bibliotherapy approach using weekly Torah portions (Parashat HaShavua) to support war-displaced individuals in Israel. Guided by Husserl’s phenomenological bracketing and Antonovsky’s salutogenic theory, the intervention utilized the Torah as a cultural and spiritual resource for introspection and healing. The goal was to enhance participants’ sense of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. Results showed notable improvements in psychological well-being, underscoring the effectiveness of bibliotherapy through Bible analysis as a therapeutic tool for trauma recovery and the development of a ‘Pedagogy of Consolation’.
