Awakening With Rabbi Ami Silver

We are honored to re-release one of Rabbi Ami's first episode's as a bonus episode. This is one of the Piaseczner’s final teachings from the Aish Kodesh, which he taught in honor of the yahrzeit of his wife Rochel Chaya Miriam (10 Tammuz). In this teaching, the Rebbe explores the meaning of Miriam’s death, and Moshe’s striking of the rock, through the Kabbalistic lens of feminine and masculine models of Divine interaction. The Piaseczner offers a radical reading of this story and overturns the traditional models, pointing to the desire from below, the feminine quality that emerges from within the earth, as the more potent and necessary model for reaching God.  Sources: Aish Kodesh, Hukkat (תש״ב)  *****  This podcast is supported in part from a grant from the Hadar Institute.   Music is by Rabbi Daniel Kohn.
