  • Tazria–Metzora 5786: Embodied Holiness

    Tazria–Metzora 5786: Embodied Holiness
    Apr 12 2026
    Can distance be a necessary part of spiritual life? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash explore Parshat Tazria–Metzora and the Torah’s complex treatment of the human body. Through discussions of ritual impurity, illness, and healing, they challenge the assumption that spirituality requires distancing from the physical. Instead, they present a vision in which the body is central to religious life—even as it creates moments of distance that require care, reintegration, and compassion. The conversation invites us to consider how communities respond to vulnerability, and what it means to help others return from isolation back into belonging.

  • Shemini 5786: Discipline and Holiness

    Shemini 5786: Discipline and Holiness
    Mar 29 2026
    What if holiness begins not in peak moments—but in everyday acts of restraint? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Michael Hattin explore Parshat Shemini, moving from the dramatic highs and tragic lows of the Mishkan’s inauguration to the everyday discipline of kashrut. They examine why the Torah offers detailed dietary laws without a clear explanation, and how classical commentators understand their purpose—from physical health to spiritual refinement. The conversation ultimately reframes kashrut as a practice of restraint, shaping moral awareness and helping us live with intention in even the most ordinary acts.

  • Pesach 5786: Rethinking the Seder

    Pesach 5786: Rethinking the Seder
    Mar 22 2026
    What would change if we designed the Seder to be experienced—not just completed? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer explore how the structure of the Seder shapes our experience of the Exodus story. Through creative reinterpretation and educational insight, they ask whether the traditional order fully captures the journey from slavery to freedom—and how small shifts in structure, storytelling, and ritual can make the Seder more meaningful and experiential. The conversation reflects on the balance between tradition and innovation, and what it takes to create a Seder that truly engages, inspires, and transforms.
