Torah Learning Circle

So if you would like to experience an Embodied Romp through this weeks Parsha and the Sefitot, listen in.....

An embodied Omer Count...... a romp through the Sefirot in an embodied way!

In this weeks TLC class we discuss the persona of Moshe's father in law Yitro, and why the portion of the Jews standing at Har Sinai and receiving the Torah bears his name.
We also learnt about how the giving of the Torah totally changes the nature of reality in that the Physical and Spiritual worlds become linked in a totally new way.
Each of the 613 Mitzvoth is like another thread, sewing together the upper and lower worlds.... Listen in to hear more....

Parshas Yitro: The Sewing Together of Heaven And Earth In this week's Torah reading we read of the Giving of the Torah at Har Sinai. Why is this portion named after Yitro and besides being Moshe's father in law, what else do we know about Yitro?

Hi and hello,
t's been quite a while since I have sent out an audio link to one of my Torah classes as we have had a bit of a break in our weekly Torah Learning Circle, but we are now back on track, Baruch Hashem!

This week's class centers on the Exodus story as a lesson on how to get out of any spiritual limitations or constricted places. The Hebrew word for Egypt is "Mitzraim" which shares the same letters with the word "Meitzarim" which means boundary or limitation.

Another interesting play on words that is very interesting is that the Hebrew word for exile is Golah, while the word for Redemption is Geula.... in Hebrew these words share the exact same letters except that the word for Redemption has an "Aleph" which the word Golah does not have! Exile and Redemption can look exactly the same, except being present to the aleph.... the letter that symbolizes G-d and Oneness makes all the difference !

I hope you enjoy the class, which also features a deeper look at each of the 10 plagues.

Parshas Bo: 10 steps to Redemption The Exodus from Egypt acts as a prototype for us leaving all kinds of limitations and states of constricted consciousness.... listen to the process of the Jews being redeemed from their slavery with
