Join Rabbi Ben Newman in this evocative episode of The Neshamah Project as he delves into the profound theme of impermanence, symbolized by the fragile walls of the sukkah. Drawing inspiration from the Mei HaShiloach's tale of Rabbi Yehoshua's encounter with the Athenian sages, Rabbi Newman weaves together the teachings of Kohelet, the ephemeral nature of the sukkah, and the grounding practices of mindfulness. Listen deeply and let this episode guide you to embrace the delicate balance of existence, reminding us that to truly live, we must breathe in the 'air upon air' of our transient lives. An episode not to be missed as Sukkot approaches, offering spiritual tools for human thriving amidst life's ever-changing currents.
