On the Seder night, so much of our energy is directed towards getting the children to ask questions, while we provide the answers. What happens when we ask them the questions, and sit down to listen to their answers? 

Does Jewish law limit me or liberate me? Who am I, really? What do I seek to express? 

Join us in the hallways of the largest Chabad high school in the world, for a raw and honest conversation about the questions of true freedom. || 

Today's episode is part two of a three part series on Pesach, where we are exploring the themes of the holiday of freedom. ||

Reverse Mah Nishtanah: So the Adults Will Listen

Do you crave spiritual conversation that feels relevant to your daily life? Do you enjoy studying but can’t always find yourself in the text? This podcast is a space for experiential learning. Together, we will be exploring ideas in Jewish and Chassidic thought through the lens of real people’s experiences. How do they weave the sacred into the fabric of their lives? What relevance do mystical ideas have to their most intimate, human struggles? What does it mean to be both human and holy?

Giving Voice to Freedom: An Evening to Explore the Meaning of the Seder in Our Lives

Next week, we're dropping a video episode (for the first time!) on Youtube and Spotify that I can only describe as a farbrengen reimagined. In anticipation, I shared some thoughts about the underrated benefits of getting together with other women to give voice to our souls.

The Underrated Gift of a Farbrengen
