Reality does not come to us pre-interpreted. We all use imaginative frameworks to make sense of the world and the people around us. The question is what has shaped our perception? The Torah wants to offer us a new imagination. To help you on your path, we’ve created a nine-week Torah reading plan, that will take you through the highlights of the Torah.

Merry Christmas, friends. In this special episode, we look at how the Torah connects to the incarnation of the son of God. We will see that John’s “Christmas story” plays on Genesis 1, challenging us to embrace embodied life as a part of God’s (already blossoming) new creation. Like the podcast?
