In this week's episode, Modya and David explore the Double Torah portion of Nitzavim-Vayelech through the lens of the trait of Separation. Questions pondered: How do blessings and curses (and their consequences) help us separate from our baser desires? What does it mean to fully be present to the challenge Moses poses to the Israelites at the very end of his life? And what does it mean for us, at this moment in history, and at this time of year?
