    Final Episode - Parashat Vayechi - Family Ties

    As we close the book of Bereshit and end our podcast series, we ask ourselves what keeps families together, and why do they fall apart. Thank you to everyone who has come along with us on this journey, and for giving us a chance to explore the Torah in a new and fascinating light. “We believe…that pastoral issues are incredibly important, and the more that we can talk about them as they relate to our own lives and as they relate to the Jewish community, the healthier our relationships will be and the healthier our Jewish communities will be. And ultimately, hopefully we will build more loving and caring societies.” - Hody Nemes

    Parshat Vayigash - The Mistakes of Management

    How can we as people in positions of authority or management, behave in such a way that creates respect, and not resentment? This parsha serves as the prime example of mismanagement and/or power gone too far, as the effects of this week's parsha can be felt in the upcoming Saga of Shemot.

    Parshat Mikeitz - How to be Heard

    Everyone talks, but not everyone is heard. Why do some people just assume leadership and everyone follows suit, while others try their best but are ultimately ignored? In this week's episode, we utilize the two models of leadership exhibited in the parsha to answer this question.

    Parshat Vayeishev - The Compartments of our Mind

    Parshat Vayishlach - A "Change" in Leadership

    Everyone has the capacity to change, but what happens when we have other people in our lives who count on us? How can we evolve when other people count on us to be consistent? What affects can that have on our lives and the lives of others? In this week's episode, our hosts tackle that complex situation, both inside our Parsha, and in our lives as well.

    Parshat Vayetzi - Rachel's Pain

    Our Torah begins with the commandment to be fruitful and multiply, but we constantly find our ancestors struggling with that very commandment. Why?
