Can ancient teachings and modern practices create a unique kind of wine? Join me, Simon Jacob, as I walk through the ancient Tzfat winery in Israel with Rav Moshe Alon, a winemaker who blends Kabbalistic wisdom with his agricultural techniques. Discover how Rav Moshe shapes his vines into Hebrew letters to boost the spiritual essence of his grapes, fostering a mystical connection between the vineyard, mankind, and the divine. Through his profound insights and real-life examples, we explore the vineyard’s structure and its spiritual significance, challenging our contemporary skepticism.

Ever wondered how the universe's formation connects to cultivating a vineyard? Rav Moshe shares his perspectives on the Ten Sefirot and how these divine energies mirror the meticulous care needed for growing vines. By examining the symbol of the letter Aleph, we unravel the intricate balance between spiritual and physical realms. This conversation offers a fresh viewpoint on the unity of creation, bridging timeless Kabbalistic teachings with practical winemaking.

His transformation from a diamond dealer in Bangkok to a devout student at a yeshiva in Tzfat adds another layer to this compelling narrative. Listen as he recounts his journey back to his Jewish roots and onto a full immersion into Kabbalistic winemaking. This episode is not just about wine; it’s about resilience, faith, and the interconnectedness of our spiritual and physical worlds. Join us for a conversation that promises enlightenment and a fresh appreciation for the ancient art of winemaking.
