Discover the rich tapestry of Jewish tradition and spirituality as we gather around my Jerusalem dining table with Rav Yakov Avraham Shepherd and my son Ovadiah for a mystical TuB'Shevat Seder. Rabbi Shepherd, steeped in Kabbalistic wisdom, guides us through the holiday's profound significance—heralded as the new year for trees—while intertwining insights into Jewish laws like Shemitah and Orla. Our conversation blossoms with lesser-known traditions, revealing the essential role this celebration plays in personal and communal growth.
Embark on a spiritual journey with us as we savor the symbolism of fruits and wine, delving into the profound metaphors these elements hold within our rich heritage. From the fig's continuous revelation akin to the Torah's depths to the grapes representing Jewish unity, and the transformative colors of wine symbolizing our descent from higher realms, we uncover layers of meaning. The olive, with its oil that once lit the holy Beit HaMikdash, becomes a poignant reminder of divine love and judgment in the lives of the Jewish people.
As we wrap up our Seder, we contemplate the indelible bond between the Jewish people and the sacred soil of Israel, transcending mere geography to touch upon the mystical. Tasting the complexity of special Israeli wines, we link our sensory experience with the journey of redemption and the collective yearning for the Third Temple's return. I close with a heartfelt plea for prayer and support, urging us to keep our soldiers in our hearts and to embrace Israeli wine as a gesture of solidarity. Join us for an episode that promises to elevate the spirit and celebrate the profound connection we have with our heritage.
