    That Ancient Ritual of Liberation

    That Ancient Ritual of Liberation

    Rabbi Tova Leibovic-Douglas does a solo mini episode on Passover, Liberation, and what our souls must move through in order to potentially shift during this holiday. What is the point of cleaning out Hametz or bread products, if we are not cleaning out the inner-hametz of our personal pantries in our souls? The goal of these rituals are to get us to access that knowingness of freedom with spiritual integrity. Can we do it? This must be the year for us to try.

    Can We Cut An Ancient Ritual?- Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon

    The Ritual House host, Tova Leibovic-Douglas and Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon (The Ritual House sound editor!) discuss the tension of when there is a ritual that no longer works for you- how do you cope? What do you do? The episode focuses on the ancient jewish ritual of Brit-Milah. They differ on their conclusions and discuss these differences at length.
