Episode notes
Personal Journey To Rav Ashlag
- Rabbi Adam first encountered Rav Ashlag's teachings as a child and reconnected deeply after a formative Birthright moment with Avraham Lowenthal.
- He then traveled to Israel, joined a kehila, and found a rebbe who shaped his study and practice.
Light, Vessel, Receiving, Giving
- Rabbi Adam frames all spiritual work as the dynamic between light and vessel, receiving and giving.
- He says shifting from receiving to giving expands the vessel and allows more light into your life.
Practice Giving When It’s Hard
- Do the hard mitzvot when it's difficult to practice becoming a giver rather than a receiver.
- Push against your nature by serving when exhausted or judged to expand your vessel and attract more light.
