Episode Synopsis "How to Fix a Soul in 30 Days, Ep. 2: Prayer"
This week, Kylie Unell is embarking on her quest to fix her soul during the month of Elul, and for the first week she’s trying prayer. First, Kylie considers Psalm 27, which is recited daily during the month of Elul and throughout the High Holidays. Then she looks to see how prayer can bringer her soul closer to God. To get help, she calls up two thoughtful and prayer-ful Jewish women to help her master this element of soul-searching-- author and former Obama speech writer Sarah Hurwitz, and Kylie's own mother Lisa Unell. Will these wise women succeed in preparing Kylie to face diving judgment in the new year? In this 10-part podcast, Kylie Unell, a doctoral student in Jewish thought, a thinking Jew, and a perpetually wondering person, will try anything, from doubling down on prayer to the Hasidic practice of hitbodedut, to try and fix her soul, and help you fix yours. Join her and a crew of unexpected and wise guides on this journey, a one-month journey to figuring out the hardest bits about being human.
