About this listen

This week we look at two Hasidic readings of Vayeshev that together map the inner life: Siach Chayyim teaches that the soul’s descent into this world is purposeful, an apprenticeship in humility, growth, and learning to say “Here I am” even when we’re afraid. The Meir of Premyshlan adds that holiness isn’t only found in elevated moments but in the “lower waters” of daily life, where every ordinary act holds a spark waiting to be lifted. Taken together, the texts insist that our wandering, our struggle, and even our most mundane days are part of the soul’s path back to clarity and connection.
