In this episode of Pondering Parashas, we trace the journey from Egypt to the Tabernacle—from the chaos of the sea to the discipline of sacred fire. I reflect on the arc of liberation, identity, and the wilderness within, before sitting down with Chaim to explore Parashat Tzav, the Eternal Flame, and the beginnings of Kashrut.

Together, we ask:

• What does it mean to keep a flame alive forever?

• Why does the Divine ask for participation over perfection?

• And how do laws that seem ancient and abstract still shape a living tradition?

Whether you're here for the fire, the philosophy, or just the rhythm of sacred conversation, welcome. I'm glad you're here.
