In this episode we are joined by Rabbi and Master Reiki Practitioner Joshua Corber, a Senior Rabbi at the Beit Rayim Synagogue & School, in Vaughan, Ontario.
Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Rabbi Corber grew up in the Reform Jewish tradition, while attending jewish day schools and jewish summer camps. Later in life, while majoring in religion, literature and the arts at UBC, his interests in spirituality and mythology lead him to begin studying and practicing the Japanese healing art form of Reiki.
