S.5 #16 | Learning and Doing

In Judaism, learning and doing are deeply interconnected. The tradition emphasizes that study should lead to meaningful action, making "learning" a dynamic process that involves both intellectual exploration and practical application. This is why I jump at every learning opportunity and accept every invitation from our rabbi and rebbetzin. In this episode, I share my family's experience of Moshiach Seudah - a celebration to conclude Passover, which took place at our rabbi's home. And then I introduce the counting of the Omer tradition, which occurs between Passover and Shavuot, and is one of the most meaningful and inspiring commandments I have learned about.
