  • Résumé

  • How can Torah help you improve your self-control? With the help of Menahem Mendel Lefin's Cheshbon haNefesh, an important 19th-century work on character refinement, we delve into the weekly Torah portion to seek wisdom on refining our traits and mastering our moods and emotions. Listen in as Modya Silver, a psychotherapist and author, and David Gottlieb, a scholar of Jewish history and a teacher of Jewish contemplative practice, uncover the ethical wisdom contained in each weekly reading.

  • "Separation" in Ha'azinu

    "Separation" in Ha'azinu
    Oct 3 2024
    This week, Modya and David explore Moses's final, poetic message to Israel (Ha'azinu, Deut. 32:1-32:52), through the lens of the trait of prishut, or "separation". As we begin to separate from the current year, Moses prepares to separate from Israel -- and from his dream of entering the Land. Moses calls heaven and earth to witness against the people, but depicts God as the enduring Rock on whom the people can and must rely. We ask ourselves: what must we separate from, and upon what can we enduringly rely? Thanks for listening! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • "Separation" in Nitzavim-Vayelech

    "Separation" in Nitzavim-Vayelech
    Sep 27 2024
    In this week's episode, Modya and David explore the Double Torah portion of Nitzavim-Vayelech through the lens of the trait of Separation. Questions pondered: How do blessings and curses (and their consequences) help us separate from our baser desires? What does it mean to fully be present to the challenge Moses poses to the Israelites at the very end of his life? And what does it mean for us, at this moment in history, and at this time of year?
