IN FILTH IN SHALL BE FOUND

A story of surviving cancer and faith in God

Shmoozin' with DOVID'L WEINBERG about how he recently overcame cancer (T Cell Lymphoma) and the affect this experience had on his relationship with God and others. 

__________________________________________________________  

There was a saying in medieval alchemy that went like this: "In filth shall it be found". Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), the renowned Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and philosopher, later expounded on this rather disturbing expression to our 21st century ears, that what we most want to find in our lives will be found in the places where we least want to look.  During our shmooze, my much loved (by me and many many others), inspirational and wise friend, teacher and fellow spiritual traveller referenced this deeply profound piece of wisdom highlighting the somewhat ironic idea that in darkness we humans can discover the greatest light - something that dramatically occurred to Reb Dovid'l during his treatment of the disease.    *** SOCIAL MEDIA *** Please be awesome and SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel and LIKE/FOLLOW @shmoozinpodcast on Facebook to watch, listen and learn from the fantastic and inspirational guests I am looking forward to welcoming into the studio. ___________________________________________________________

We're off and running, the pilot shmooze from where all other shmoozes will go! Sooooo excited and filled with great anticipation about where this journey will take me, the people I will meet and shmooze with and the people who will tune in along the way. To kick things off I asked my lovely mate, fellow Brit (a Manc not a Londoner like me) and all round nice bloke Terence Livingstone to take a seat and chew things over. Like me, Tezza (or Tuvia as he's also know round these parts) is a baal teshuvah - raised as a secular Jew in Blighty and who became religious later down the line. 

Cheers all!

Chochmat haKodesh haPoelet | These podcasts are short and deep conversations between two friends, Rabbi Dovid'l Weinberg and David Goodwin on Rav Kook's spiritually pulsating masterpiece of the soul Orot HaKodesh.

In honour of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' first yahrzeit (20 Cheshvan, 5782) I had the privilege to welcome to the Shmoozin' studio one of Rabbi Sacks' younger brothers, Alan Sacks, who kindly shared with us deeply personal and revealing insights from the life of this uniquely special, loving and globally influential Jewish leader.

Hearing from a close family member about Rabbi Sacks' childhood, upbringing, transformative experiences, private struggles, innermost drives and much more, we intimately discover the man behind the man and gain an even greater appreciation and admiration for what Rabbi Sacks contributed to the world. Emotively, we learn about how he spent his final challenging days isolated in hospital due to the covid pandemic, yet never missing an opportunity to give to the people caring for him wisdom and life lessons that will stay with them forever.

Make yourself a nice drink, find a comfortable place to sit and enjoy listening about one of the greatest Jews that has ever lived, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks ZT"L.

We're off and running, the pilot shmooze from where all other shmoozes will go! So excited, filled with great anticipation about where this journey will take me, the people I will meet and the people who will tune in along the way. To kick things off I asked my mate, fellow Brit and all round nice bloke Terence Livingstone to jump into the guest seat. Like me, Tezza is a baal teshuvah - raised as a secular Jew in Blighty and who became religious later down the line.
