Embodied Torah Ep #5: Embodied Tefilla
Tefilla is an internal process of alignment. We have different tools we can use to activate the process of aligning ourselves with Hashem. The Siddur is the most known tool, but the physical actions we engage in during Tefilla are also part of the toolkit at our disposal. Understanding their impact and structure allow us to take our Tefilla from something habituated to something intentional, something alive.

Embodied Torah Ep #3: Alignment
Embodied Torah Part 3 is out! In this episode, Ariella and I discuss the concept of alignment, exploring how it pervades Torah and our living. The word "tefilla" actually means "alignment," but this is even deeper than it sounds. The stack of elements that the Torah calls the "tzelem elokim" (image of God), comprising the various tools (including our bodies) we use to manifest ourselves into the physical world, can move in and out of alignment, causing us mental, emotional and physical pain and suffering. Detecting these misalignments and flooding them with the truth-light of Torah is the key to...

In this Erev Shabbos episode, we explore the balance of pulling back from melakha (the application of consciousness to the physical world in order to create higher order and organization in a permanent way) while still having some involvement with it on Shabbos. Often, because of the Etz HaDa'at ( the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), we think in polarities, imagining that melakha is bad on Shabbos, and must be avoided at all cost. The truth is far more complex...

Melakha is not "work," or "labor." Learning how to extricate ourselves from our own creative funnels is parallel to pulling ourselves out of a deep orientation of ourselves as our bodies, our professions, our desires, our emotions. We are beyond all those things, though we do operate in the world through each of them. The Etz HaDa'at allows us to forget this, and become consumed with our own creative power...

Bathroom humor seems to be part of an attempt to deal with the existential wackiness of our souls (selves) being linked to a body with so many issues, features and functions.

Ep #4: Beit HaMikdash, Torah and Business
We're supposed to notice that the Beit HaMikdash is missing, and read a bunch of pesukim every morning. When we dig underneath these halakhot, they are deeply connected. We can develop the lenses that allow us to access the consciousness truths of the Beit HaMikdash, and the sense of intense loss at its destruction. The pesukim of the Torah are integral parts of that process.

Ep#3: Hashem, Self-Worth and Perceptions
Seeing is being. A halakha that tells us we should see Hashem all the time seems almost silly. But what if there was a way to learn the mechanics of perception, the structure of Da'at?
