Coming in in a very weird mood, this episode is a real time process of living in a world of inequality and astronomically different situations. I also share an unplanned Kabbalistic teaching on 4 levels of interpreting the Torah Scroll and reality, which I learned from my teacher Ish-Shalom. It's not about finding a neat answer to inequality and living with differences, but about feeling our way through the complexity and multidimensionality at play in all our circumstances.

In this episode:

- The weirdness of all of us living together, all with different circumstances

- The 4 Layers of the Torah: Words, Letters, Ink, and Parchment

- The heartbreaking gift of Life in all circumstances
