Listen "S2 Ep. 4 The Mekallel’s Return to Eden"
Episode Synopsis
Is there any redemption for the mekallel? In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu head back to Leviticus to explore a fascinating connection between the mekallel, the utopian laws of the Jubilee year, and the Torah’s original utopia, Eden. This new thread of evidence shines a more uplifting light on our dark text – while unlocking unexpected insight into how we as a society may be able to offer disenfranchised individuals, like the mekallel, a more genuine and meaningful sense of belonging. To learn more about how meaningful service – avodah – is a path back to Eden, listen to this episode of Meaningful Judaism.
