  • Resumen

  • How can Torah help you improve your self-control? With the help of Menahem Mendel Lefin's Cheshbon haNefesh, an important 19th-century work on character refinement, we delve into the weekly Torah portion to seek wisdom on refining our traits and mastering our moods and emotions. Listen in as Modya Silver, a psychotherapist and author, and David Gottlieb, a scholar of Jewish history and a teacher of Jewish contemplative practice, uncover the ethical wisdom contained in each weekly reading.

    The Middah of "Silence" in Balak

They explore the middah of silence through the stories in parsha Balak and see how a donkey may be more in tune with the Divine than a human by employing silence as a contemplative tool.

  • "Silence" in Chukat

    "Silence" in Chukat
    Jul 11 2024
    In this week's episode, Modya and David's method for exploring the Torah portion through the lens of a specific character trait lands them on Chukat (Num. 19:1-22:1) through the lens of Silence. In Chukat (spoiler alert), a lot happens: the law of the red heifer is expounded, Miriam and Aaron pass on, and Moses's exasperation with the people leads him to act in a way that causes God to forbid him to enter the Promised Land. The hosts explore how restraint in speech and action -- or lack thereof -- can lead to cascading consequences, and to an alienation of people from each other, and from the people to their God.

  • Silence in Korach

    Silence in Korach
    Jul 4 2024
    Korach (Num. 16:1-18:32), one of the most riveting and dramatic narratives in all of Torah, is, perhaps counterintuitively, fertile ground for a discussion of the trait of Silence. When is speech destructive? When is silence -- a deliberate avoidance of harsh or provoactive speech -- healing? How do we balance our "inner Korach" and "inner Moses"? Modya and David explore these and other topics in this week's episode. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
