2 – The Imagination That Connects Us
May 18, 2025
Episode Description
What gives tefilah its power—especially when we can't see or feel Hashem directly?
In this episode, we explore dimyon, the holy imagination that allows us to connect with Hashem through uncertainty. Drawing from the dramatic moment at the Red Sea, we examine the first national tefilah, the cry born of fear and transformation. We contrast Adam’s breath of divine speech with the snake’s silence and uncover how crisis opens the door to relationship.
Tefilah isn’t just a ritual. It’s how we return to the voice Hashem breathed into us.
