I sit down with Rabbi Dr. Simcha Raphael and learn about his remarkably wide-ranging spiritual journey. From a traditional Montreal Hebrew education through India, the San Francisco counterculture, and ultimately into the Jewish Renewal Movement as a scholar of death, afterlife, and the inner life of Judaism, his story mirrors what so many of us are navigating in our own religious explorations.
In the Patreon-only second half, we explore what Judaism's rich tradition on death and the afterlife offers to the dying, the grieving, and anyone trying to build a vibrant spiritual life beyond the boundaries of where they started.
Highlights:
Montreal Jewish upbringing
India, gurus, and culture shock
Jewish Renewal and Reb Zalman
Ecstatic vs. contemplative spirituality
Death, grief, and felt presence
Judaism's afterlife teachings
