What Death Teaches Us About the Soul

What really happens when we die? Where does the soul go—and are we asking the wrong question entirely?

In this powerful episode of Toward a Meaningful Life, David and Levi unpack Rabbi Simon Jacobson’s profound analogy of the soul as electricity and the body as a refrigerator. Through this lens, death isn’t an ending—it’s a transition. The conversation explores how grief can deepen our sense of purpose, how we’re part of an eternal story, and how living soulfully transforms our perspective on time, space, and self.

Whether you’re seeking comfort after loss or inspiration to live with greater meaning, this episode offers timeless wisdom to guide your journey.
