Episode Synopsis

In memory of Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky, who were killed outside of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, May 21st. May their memory be a blessing, and may their families be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim.---God didn’t create a perfect world—God created a complex one. And in that complexity, we become creators, too: of meaning, of art, of relationships, and of kindness.Suffering is real. But so is strength. So is human solidarity. And so are we.Rabbi Patrick explores Genesis 1:1–5 and how the Torah’s opening verses aren’t just about creation, but about transformation. With a nod to astrophysicist Sara Imari Walker's Assembly Theory and artist Justin Curfman (Feedings Fingers), we reflect on the role of imagination in a universe that moves from darkness to light—not once, but always.🙏 Shout out to the Curfman family in Napoli, Italy 🎧 Topic suggested by Penn Markham.
