    Neshamah Project Podcast Episode 99: The Purpose of Descent
    Dec 9 2025
    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.

    Neshamah Project Podcast: Episode 98-Two Camps & The Hidden Face: Wrestling with the Inner Esau
    Dec 2 2025
    This episode explores how our words of Torah, prayer, and intention become “messengers” that protect and guide us when we face our inner Esau, the parts of us that pull us off our path. Drawing on Siach Chayyim, we look at Jacob’s strategy of splitting into “two camps” of awe and love as a model for spiritual resilience, and with Or HaMeir we dive into Peniel as the practice of seeing the Divine “face within the face” in every situation. Together, these teachings frame our daily work as lifting scattered sparks of presence and finding healing not by erasing our limp, but by carrying our wounds with conscious awareness.
