Listen "Pesach 5784: Unearthing Personal Freedom"
Episode Synopsis
Can we transform the "bread of affliction" into the "bread of redemption" this Passover?"
Yiscah Smith returns this week with a call for us to see ourselves ("l'rot atzmo") as leaving spiritual enslavement each Passover. Drawing from the Piazner Rebbe and Rav Kook, Yiscah illuminates how painful self-examination can allow for divine blessings and personal redemption to emerge. Grappling with the role of suffering, Yiscah shares a powerful lens for experiencing this holiday's liberating spirit, even amidst darkness.
Join us for this timely discussion imbued with hope on Pardes from Jerusalem.
