The Shema Podcast for the Perplexed

In this episode we explore the life of Avraham Avinu as the embodiment of Chesed (loving-kindness) and the first to crown Hashem as King. Joined by Rabbi Meisel, we discuss how Avraham’s spiritual journey, marked by courage, isolation, and unwavering faith, serves as a model for those navigating their own path back to truth, often feeling alone or disconnected from their past communities. Through his story, we gain insight into the deeper meaning of divine kingship, personal transformation, and the sacred role each individual plays in bringing holiness into the world. This episode is an invitation to recognize the Avraham within, and to embrace the unique purpose Hashem has placed in each of us.
