I Fell Apart Into the Torah with Chani Mochkin
When nothing is large enough to hold the enormity of your emotions, where do you go?
This episode is Chani's story of finding solace in the weekly Parsha, how the emotional wisdom of the Torah became her mirror and comfort as she grieved the loss of her older sister, Raizel. A moving reflection on what it means to bring the full emotional range of our inner experiences to our study of the Torah.

I’ve Made the Same Resolutions for Ten Years with Esther Shemtov
What are the side alleys of growth that go unnoticed while we seemingly return to the same struggles, over and over again? What are the spiritual benefits of the more chaotic elements of our lives?
