Flowering Branch

We start the book of Deutoronomy. Both Moses and Isaiah share words of tochecha/ rebuke with the people, in the lead up to Tisha B'Av. What are the visions and words we need to take us to our next part of the journey?

Our ancestors stopped 42 times in their desert wanderings, using different spiritual practices and modalities, depending on what was called for in that moment. This week Aaron shares a list of 42 spiritual practices, reminding us about responding to what that moment calls for.

Sometimes it takes generations to find healing. Pinchas' soul is understood to return in the body of Elijah the prophet. The healing they might find can bring us all closer to understanding each other with kindness.

Aaron walks with us through the death of Miriam (also associated with the moon) and Aaron, the persuer of peace. Sometimes we only hear snippets of songs, but their echoes and reverberations can be long.

We open the portal of dream and wisdom. Aaron explains the idea of this podcast series and shares a first piece exploring the Torah portion from a perspective woven from imagination and Aaron the High Priest.
