    Democracy vs the Kingdom of Hashem: Rav Eliyahu Pereira on Rosh Hashana (16)

    We're kicking off Season 2 of Tanach & Tea with a very special guest: Rav Eliyahu Pereira. Born and raised in Miami, Rav Eliyahu moved to Israel at 17 and eventually made his home in Tzfat. Always proud of being Jewish but not always religious, he shares how his journey led him into Torah, Chassidut, and guiding others toward a deeper connection with Hashem. From there we dive into themes that couldn't be more timely as we approach Rosh Hashana: 🔍 Highlights from this episode Democracy vs. the Kingdom of Hashem — and what that means for Mashiach and Gog U'Magog Should we ask Hashem for things on Rosh Hashana, or just crown Him as King? Hisbodedut: pouring out your heart until you completely nullify your will before Hashem Talking to Hashem like your best friend — and guaranteed answers even without words Teshuva: why Hashem loves the effort itself Why Rosh Hashana is in Tishrei and not in Nisan Covenant vs. relationship: keeping our contract with Hashem versus building closeness with Him Along the way, I also share about an inspiring new book: 📖 The Extraordinary Life of Rabbi Ronnie Greenwald 🎥 Watch the full video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tanachandtea 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts: https://linktr.ee/tanachandtea 👤 Connect with Rav Eliyahu: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eliyahupereira/ 📱 Follow Tanach & Tea on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tanachandtea/ 📩 Want to sponsor an episode?

    Adam & Eve, Tanach Reality TV, & the Garden with Eve's Gardeners (15)

    In this 15th episode of Tanach & Tea, we welcome our first-ever female guest — Leah Bahar, host of the Eve's Gardeners podcast.  Leah and I have known each other for a while, but right before Pesach, I had the privilege of being a guest on her podcast — my first-ever guest appearance on any podcast. Now, she's returning the favor and joining us for the first time as a guest herself. We've been waiting for this one. Her brand is Eve's Gardeners, and this episode is all about Gan Eden, Adam and Eve, and the creation of humanity — couldn't be more fitting. This episode also marks another first: we're now filming with a two-camera setup, so you'll finally see Debbie and Orr on screen too, bringing Tanach & Tea to a whole new level. 🔍 What's in this episode: 📺 Tanach Barbershop Talk: Which episodes of Tanach would make the best reality TV shows? 🌿 Main Discussion (Bereishit 2:8–25): What did Gan Eden actually look like? The deeper Torah view of Adam and Chava, and how their story shapes our understanding of: Gender roles Marriage and partnership The 7 Noachide Laws Creation, unity, and the spiritual power of relationships Why the Torah says, "It is not good for man to be alone" — and the spiritual and practical upside of being married. From Eden to everyday marriage advice, we explore the design of humanity, the harmony between male and female souls, and the Torah's timeless wisdom on love, identity, and purpose. 🎥 Now in full video!

    Spicy Torah, Healthy Souls, & the Secrets of Shavuot with Elad Shachar (14)

    In Episode 14 of Tanach & Tea, we are joined by guest Elad Shachar.  We explore the festival of Shavuot and its deeper spiritual connections, before diving into the mysteries of creation from Sefer Bereishit. In the first half, we unwrap Shavuot: Why is Megillat Ruth read, and what does it reveal about our relationship with Torah? What do the four names of Shavuot teach us about the holiday's essence? Discover the surprising link between King David and the Oral Torah, and why Hashem had to "force" us into our sacred marriage at Sinai. We also look at the symbolism of eating dairy, the spiritual significance of the letter Zayin and tribe of Zevulun for Sivan, and how the Torah serves as the "spice" for our evil inclination. Plus, a healthy and joyful path to Jewish growth, the deep connection between Pesach and Shavuot, and how Judaism uniquely blends individual identity with community life. In the second half, we go back to the beginning — Bereishit 2:7: What does the earth's many colors tell us about humanity? What made Adam so remarkable — and how does he compare to Shlomo HaMelech? We unpack the different types of souls, spiritual injuries, and how to keep our inner essence healthy (yes, even with a pair of fresh white J's as a metaphor). Whether you're looking to deepen your Shavuot experience or gain new insights into the creation of the human soul, this episode invites you to elevate the mundane, embrace your role, and find joy in the journey of Torah.
