Listen "15. Not A Valentines Day Episode"
Episode Synopsis
Worst case scenario? You’re buying a bright red box of chocolates to fix a relationship, or because an ad told you to.
Have we lost the thread — not just for this particular holiday, but even in our lives outside of flower shops and candy stores? Dovid and Adam grapple with the idea of just Doing Something for unknown reasons, or forgotten reasons, and what it means to find the thread, or submit to tradition in whole cloth.
Rambam, Hilchot Avoda Zara, Chapter 1
Rebbe Rashab reprimanding his followers for singing a melody too quickly; not being present.
Read the Rebbe's letter to someone daunted by the vastness of the ultimate truth.
Music: Stephanie Chou "Grenada" | Nosson Zand "Our Way" | Ryan Chaney feat. Meredith Hinshaw and Adam Valen Levinson "River"
