Journey with me into the fertile forest of Jewish philosophy and mysticism! I have always loved studying Jewish wisdom, especially the more mystical side, yet I am challenging myself in this podcast to apply those texts to everyday life. I'd like to give you a window into my spiritual struggles to actually live out these ideas and concepts. Hopefully by sharing and learning with you, we can all grow together to live a more meaningful life. I am also the spiritual leader of Temple Sinai in Middletown, NY- please visit some time!
