In this episode, Rabbi Noah and Jennifer Schillinger invite you to join a dynamic conversation of what it means to be Hebrew. There are key insights explored to understand what it really means to Hebrew or “to cross over”, which all are inclusively and continually invited into. Maybe you’ll become aware of some of these invitations in your own life? Jennifer describes this process as “Wildly Individual and Wildly Communal” and Noah shares insight on how this process might look. Are you being invited to cross over into places your present community isn’t ready for? Are you crossing over as a community and navigating the journey? Are you feeling invited to join a community to explore your deepest questions? Are you relying on certainty instead of trust? You are invited to explore these and other questions that may arise as we join the conversation. And if you are like me you sometimes want to see everything first before resting in what is ours to see, yet I leave you with something Jennifer said that can guide us into Wisdom, “If we were to try to see it all come to pass in our time we would be limiting the potential of what is really being done.” So jump into this podcast conversation to see what potential awaits you and always remember you can join this ongoing conversation live at one of Scripture Circle Gatherings throughout the year. Let’s cross over together.
