“Amidst destruction there will always be a spark left in the ashes” The Month of AV, and WHAT is your life’s purpose? Some housekeeping background info- I don’t feel like I’ve fully gotten the concepts down pat so neutrally stated in the first chapter first paragraph of M.Y. back in episode 6, so I’ll be working on that in more detail - some in-depth CONTENT on: “to clarify and come to realize as truth what is his obligation in his world and to what he needs to direct his gaze and his aspiration in all that he toils all the days of his life” gosh that’s crazy, kk stay tuned, boy I sure am.

The first paragraph of the first chapter of Mesilat Yesharim is trippy bro. The RaMChaL tells us we have to figure out what we are doing here, what’s our specific purpose in why WE were out here in this world! I give you a couple tips on how to help figure it out. Enjoy!!! DO THE WORK! Figure out YOU!

This is a bit of a funky one, advance warning stated. We’re in the clouds a lot here, on a meditative spoken word journey in figuring out WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE WANT! Lots of great resources in this one, so make sure to writedownthemallandlistenandbuythebooksandreadthem. Trust me, it helps. Oh and the quote I never ended up quoting? “It’s not the person who knows the Torah, rather, it’s the Torah in the person that becomes his Torah” - Kotzker Rebbe

The Mesilas Yesharim, or Path of the Just is a book written in the 18th century by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato (RaMChaL). Can’t wait to delve right in!! ITS DELICIOUS

This episode has got the goods on my thoughts on living in Sydney so far, the highs, the lows and in between. Key mid life crisis inspiration to keep you awake at night wondering about at around 25 minutes in, and most importantly I discuss my take on the relationship between ourselves and ourselves, and ourselves and Gd. Lastly, a quick thought on Parshas Nasso, and some social media thoughts.

In this episode I discuss my connection and understandings of the Jewish month Sivan, the holiday of Shavuot, and the final character trait in the journey to our ultimate selves: Malchus. I finish by explaining why we made the move to Sydney despite all odds!
