About this episode
We spend weeks leading up to Shavuot refining our characters. And then we receive G-d's Torah, which asks us to faithfully reflect the light of the Divine in this world. Does the Torah mark a path to self development or self transcendence? What might it look like to be both surrendered and distinctly who we are? * * * * * * * To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.com To support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.
