We’re into just the second portion of the Torah with Noah. For those of us remembering days in Hebrew School, this is the story of the Flood, events that led up to it, and Noah’s instructions from God to build an ark for his family and many animals.

In this episode, we’ll delve into what we know about Noah. Why was he chosen? Many of our sages say that compared to someone like Abraham, for example, Noah falls short. I'll come to Noah's defense in this episode!

This episode focuses on the anger you might experience from others…either directed at you, or that you might be observing, and your responses to it.

Why is there so much counting in Judaism? We just completed the Passover holiday when we counted cups of wine, questions, types of questioners, plagues and miracles!! Now, we’re in a period of counting again….the Omer.

What does it all mean to you?

In this episode, we’ll explore a deeper meaning of this period of counting.

We live in a tangible and physical world, and often the very nature of our lives prevents us from connecting with the spiritual. How can we move past our rational minds to live with a greater reality? We'll explore that in this episode.
