Listen "Praying and Learning (pt. 2): Grasping and Not Grasping "
Episode Synopsis
Episode 023
In this continuation of the Piaseczner Rebbe’s teaching on prayer and Torah learning, we explore two kinds of pleasure on the spiritual path - the pleasure of grasping for something that you cannot grasp, the experiences that give us greater hunger for more; and the pleasure of integrating our experiences of the unknown, and coming to know something deeply in our bodies and minds. Join Rabbi Ami’s teaching as the Rebbe brings us closer to both of these modes of being, and offers us a map to build a bridge between them.
