In this morning’s
class, Sweetening the Channels — How Hidden Light Rewrites the Script, we
explore a deceptively simple question that opens a profound door: if Divine
flow comes through channels shaped by our soul’s past, does that mean some
lives are destined to be harder than others? Drawing from the Arizal, the
twelve tribes, Yosef’s descent into Egypt, and the inner mechanics of gilgul,
this class reframes struggle not as punishment — but as a soul’s chosen terrain
for repair. 

Set
against the convergence of Chanukah, Shabbat, and Rosh Ḥodesh Tevet, this
episode reveals why the darkest month of the year is not a verdict — but an
invitation. Through hidden light, candlelight placed at the threshold, and
Torah that reaches beneath nature itself, we learn how channels can be
sweetened, redirected, and illuminated. This is not about escaping your path.
It is about carrying light into it — and discovering that what felt like
blockage was always waiting to be transformed.
