About this episode
The episode explores the concept of holidays as opportunities for connection rather than mere remembrance, focusing on Parshat Emor and the idea of sacred time.
What if the holidays are less about remembering—and more about connecting? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Rafael Polisuk explore Parshat Emor and the meaning of sacred time. Focusing on the idea of moed, they suggest that holidays are not only about remembering the past, but about creating moments of connection. The conversation invites us to see these days as opportunities to come together and encounter something deeper.
