But these flags were never about separation; they were about belonging. In this episode, we explore what the desert banners reveal about individuality, unity, and the Divine purpose woven into every soul’s place within the collective.

Lets explore what free choice really is, by examining episodes in tanach, like the prediction of the destruction of the 1st Beis Hamikdash, the story of shimshon, the split of Judea and Samaria the ten northern tribes. Concluding with a teaching of Hashems involvement from the Baal Shem Tov.

What Rabbi Shimon taught on his last day and what we’re still missing.
