In Judaism, learning and doing are deeply interconnected. The tradition emphasizes that study should lead to meaningful action, making "learning" a dynamic process that involves both intellectual exploration and practical application. This is why I jump at every learning opportunity and accept every invitation from our rabbi and rebbetzin. In this episode, I share my family's experience of Moshiach Seudah - a celebration to conclude Passover, which took place at our rabbi's home. And then I introduce the counting of the Omer tradition, which occurs between Passover and Shavuot, and is one of the most meaningful and inspiring commandments I have learned about.

I recently read in Tanya that prayers and blessings in Judaism must be audible. The explanation for this requirement was so intriguing to me that it led me to further research. This episode is full of Kabbalistic mysticism, Jewish tradition and inspiration. I hope it inspires you to explore the power of prayer!
