Shrink the Rabbi Dr. B and Rabbi Chaim

Receiving the Torah / The 10 Commandments on Mt. Sinai made a lasting impression on the collective Jewish Soul and the world. Listen to get some of the backstory and discover why the custom is to eat dairy foods on this holiday.

Each year, a month after Passover, the Hebrew calendar marks Pesach Sheni or Second Passover. It is the day when someone who was unable to participate in the Passover offering at the proper time, because they were impure or were distant, would observe the mitzvah exactly one month later. This is the Divine chance for a “re-do”— a God-given second chance. It’s the only time this happens in all of Torah. Listen as Rabbi Chaim and Dr B discuss the significance of this unique holiday.

The Passover story. Rabbi Chaim and Dr. B discuss the ritual dinner, the Seder, and how to make it more meaningful by focusing on what “mitzrayim” signifies. MItzrayim is the name for Egpyt, “the narrow land,” the place of slavery and bondage. How are each of us bound to our unproductive habits? And why is it so significant that we experience this holiday in community? Join the Rabbi and the Shrink for a lively, personal discussion.
