| Before Sinai: Overwhelm, Voice, and the Wisdom of Titration | 03 Feb 2026 | 00:51:39 | |
This week’s Underneath the Underneath sits with a surprising moment that comes before the giving of the Torah. Just before revelation at Sinai, Moshe is told by Yitro: You will surely wear yourself out. You cannot do it alone. Why does the Torah place this very human exchange — about overwhelm, capacity, and support — right before the most climactic spiritual moment in history? In this episode, Yocheved Sidof explores Yitro’s counsel as medicine: an invitation to honor the vessel before asking it to hold more light. We look at burnout, titration, voice, and presence — and how revelation, healing, and growth only become sustainable when we listen to our yes and our no. Drawing on Torah, Hasidic teaching, and lived experience, this class reframes Sinai not as an overwhelming spiritual peak, but as a relational moment — one that asks us to slow down, receive in measure, and remember that we are not meant to carry it all alone. Torah, here, is not a way out of life — but a way more deeply into it.

| B’shalach, Protest and Prayer: What Draws Us to God — and What Has Us Stay | 27 Jan 2026 | 00:54:46 | |
In Parshat B’shalach, the Israelites find themselves caught between liberation and terror — having just left Egypt, only to be pursued, frightened, and unsure whether freedom was a mistake. In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, we explore the fragile space where prayer turns into protest, where faith wavers under pressure, and where crying out to God coexists with anger, doubt, and complaint. Drawing on a teaching from the Ramban and Hasidic insights on consciousness and orientation, this class asks a central spiritual question: What draws us into relationship with God — and what allows us to stay when the answers don’t come quickly? Through the lens of B’shalach, Amalek, and Moshe’s raised arms, we reflect on faith not as certainty, but as an ongoing act of turning — again and again — toward presence, even in fear.

| Becoming a Vessel for Redemption: Five Gateways in Va’era | 13 Jan 2026 | 00:54:33 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, Yocheved Sidof enters Parashat Va’era through a single question: What has to shift inside us to become a vessel for redemption? Drawing on Moshe’s struggle, Pharaoh’s resistance, and the somatic reality of exile as kotzer ruach (short breath), she maps five inner gateways that help move us from constriction toward liberation. This episode explores speaking truth without guarantee, staying with disillusionment when things don’t change quickly, surrendering control when the path hardens, and deepening our relationship with God beyond a transactional faith. At the heart is a quiet engine: the felt knowing that we are remembered, heard, and held in covenant, even before outcomes arrive.

| Blessing in Constriction: Veyechi and the Wisdom of the Not-Yet | 30 Dec 2025 | 00:50:13 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, we enter the quiet, charged space of constriction. Teaching on Parashat Vayechi alongside the fast of Asarah b’Tevet, Yocheved explores what it means to bless before outcome, clarity, or redemption. Drawing on the Torah’s portrayal of Yaakov blessing his sons in Egypt — at the very beginning of exile — we explore five portals of blessing: blessing through outcome, interpretation, attunement, posture, and transmission. Each offers a different orientation for meeting life when we are in the “not yet,” when the walls feel close but nothing has collapsed. This class is an invitation to stay present in constriction without rushing meaning, to sense God not as absent in exile but intimate within it, and to recognize our lives as acts of spiritual transmission — unfinished, faithful, and deeply alive.

| The Courage to Come Close: Yehuda, Presence, and the End of Bypass | 23 Dec 2025 | 00:51:46 | |
This week’s Underneath the Underneath enters the moment of Vayigash — when Yehuda draws near. Through a luminous teaching from the Baal Shem Tov, we explore a radically Hasidic approach to suffering, prayer, and presence: not fixing, not explaining, not bypassing — but approaching. What does it mean to come close without an agenda? To praise not as flattery, but as a state of consciousness? To recognize that even what feels like exile or burden is not separate from the Divine? Drawing on the imagery of the snail, the energy of Tevet, the fading light of Chanukah, and the unfolding story of Yehuda and Yosef, this class offers a living map for staying present with what hurts — and discovering how awareness itself softens the weight we carry. This is a teaching about faith, about being a guarantor for one another, and about the quiet courage of saying: I am here.

| The Vulnerability of Visibility: Yosef, Chanukah, and the Threshold of Being Seen | 16 Dec 2025 | 00:54:08 | |
This week’s Underneath the Underneath is a quiet, tender holding of a charged moment. As Chanukah begins — a festival devoted to light made public — we sit inside Parashat Miketz, where Yosef emerges from prison into power, visibility, and recognition… while still hidden in plain sight. In the wake of the terror attack at Bondi Beach, this class does not rush toward meaning or resolution. Instead, it asks a deeper question: What does it cost to be visible? Through Yosef’s story, the mitzvah of pirsumei nisa (publicizing the miracle), and the ancient Jewish negotiation between hiding and being seen, we explore the vulnerability of carrying light in a world that sometimes resists it. This episode is an invitation to presence rather than answers — to stay with what is tender, raw, and alive — and to listen for the quiet wisdom that emerges when we allow ourselves to be seen, one flame at a time.

| The Cost of Freedom: Yosef, Yud Tes Kislev, and a Mystical Map for Breaking Invisible Prisons | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:54:28 | |
This class is dedicated to Mushka (Silman) Glanstein, of blessed memory — a bright soul whose light will continue to ripple on for eternity. חי׳ מושקא בת שמעון אברהם This week’s session of Underneath the Underneath unfolds inside a living convergence: Parashat Vayeshev, where Yosef descends into the pit and into prison, and Yud Tes Kislev, the liberation of the Alter Rebbe and the opening of the wellsprings of Chabad Chassidut. Together, they draw us into a deeper inquiry: What is the cost of freedom — spiritually, emotionally, and soulfully? Through Torah, Chassidut, and embodied mysticism, Yocheved explores the inner movements that make liberation possible: seeing our invisible prisons, entering the descent that refines us, learning to receive help without abandoning agency, and awakening to the truth that personal freedom always ripples into the collective. Rather than a history lesson, this is a lived transmission— a journey into how freedom is forged in the body, in longing, in the questions that pursue us, and in the places we would rather not go. Travel with us through five gateways that appear in every soul’s path toward liberation. Let them meet you where you are. If you are navigating pressure, desire, longing, or the stirrings of a new becoming — this class is a companion for the road.

| The Wrestle Is the Womb: When Shadow Midwifes Your Next Name | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:55:58 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, we meet Yaakov alone in the night — the place where every soul eventually finds itself. There, in the dark, he wrestles with the angel of Esav, the unintegrated shadow that has followed him since birth. From that struggle emerges something utterly new: a limp, a blessing, and the name Yisrael — the identity earned not by escaping difficulty, but by staying present to it. Drawing from the Baal Shem Tov’s teaching on chomer (matter) and tzurah (form), we explore how transformation actually happens: not by defeating what opposes us, but by letting pressure, friction, and honest wrestling reorganize us from the inside. We look at how the soul’s deepest questions — the ones that won’t leave us alone — are not obstacles but invitations. How the personal and the collective are linked in a holographic dance. How the shadow we fear may be the midwife of our next name. If you’re in a season of rumbling, reckoning, or re-discovering yourself… if your identity feels like it’s in transition or being refined… this episode offers a map, a mirror, and a blessing: The wrestle isn’t the detour. The wrestle is the womb— of your next name.

| Three Names, One Soul: Yaakov, the Ladder, and the Work of Becoming | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:52:21 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, Yocheved Sidof enters the raw, tender terrain of becoming through the story of Yaakov’s flight from home. Between Be’er Sheva and Haran, between certainty and unraveling, Yaakov dreams of a ladder — and sees angels ascend and descend, yet cannot see himself. Through the Izhbitzer’s teaching of the three names of the soul, the Me’or Einayim’s insight on the ladder, and the lived wisdom of parenting, grief, and individuation, Yocheved reveals a hidden truth: we don’t see ourselves on the ladder until we have become someone who can bear seeing ourselves. This is the messy middle — the second name — where life, relationships, heartbreak, and mystery refine us into who we are becoming. A teaching on thresholds, identity, ancestral patterns, and the healing that allows a new name to emerge. For anyone standing at a crossroads, navigating transition, or wondering how they arrived here — this one is for you.

| The Womb Between Worlds: Rivka’s Cry and the Spiritual Technology of Gam v’Gam | 18 Nov 2025 | 00:53:10 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath on Parshat Toldot, Yocheved Sidof returns from two weeks in Israel carrying a raw wisdom: the world is asking us to hold more than one truth at a time. Through the story of Rivka’s pregnancy—vayitrotzetzu, lama zeh anochi, lidrosh, shnei goyim b’vitnech—she reveals a four-step map of inner work rooted in the body’s own knowing. From Nova to an old-age home, from rupture to faith, this teaching explores Gam v’Gam not as a moral blur but as the womb-capacity to hold complexity without collapse. A journey through nuance, safety, and the possibility of becoming wide enough for the world.

| Lech Lecha - The Art of Sacred Uncertainty | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:50:29 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, Yocheved walks with Avraham into the tender mystery of Lech Lecha — the call to leave what we know and step toward what we cannot yet see. What happens when the familiar stories fall away — when the ground of certainty dissolves beneath our feet, and all that’s left is the quiet pulse of trust? Through personal reflection, ancestral memory, and living Torah, Yocheved reveals uncertainty not as emptiness but as initiation — an invitation to meet the Divine in the raw, uncharted spaces of our becoming.

| Between Regret and Compassion: The Flood, the Mission, and the Movement of God’s Heart | 21 Oct 2025 | 00:54:12 | |
Between Bereishit and Noach, the Torah pauses for a breath —a verse of divine heartbreak: “And God regretted that He had made man on the earth.” In this week’s session of Underneath the Ubderneath, Yocheved teaches from the seam between creation and re-creation — between the flood of loss and the rainbow of return. In the shadow of October 7th, as the world still trembles with grief and release, she asks: what does it mean to be a redeemed hostage of light? To carry within us the spark that survived the flood? Through vayinachem — the shared root of regret and comfort — she traces the movement of God’s heart, when love chooses to begin again. What if divine disappointment is not destruction, but the softening that leads to mercy? What if the flood is not punishment, but purification — the world learning to breathe again? A teaching from the threshold — between heartbreak and covenant, between regret and compassion, between Bereishit and Noach.

| Elul’s Heart of Knowing — Ki Tavo and the Nuance of Return | 09 Sep 2025 | 00:55:28 | |
In this session, we entered Elul through the lens of Parshat Ki Tavo and Moshe’s words: “God did not give you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear until this day.” Together, we explored the shift from Sinai’s black-and-white revelation to the subtle, nuanced knowledge that lives in the heart — Lev La’daat. Drawing on the Sfat Emet, we traced how true knowing is not a peak moment of clarity, but the slow integration that allows us to discern gradations, paradox, and presence in everyday life. We reflected on Elul as feminine time — discerning, subtle, womb-like in its capacity to hold shades of experience — and considered what it means to return with compassion rather than critique. The class invited us to notice what has landed in our hearts this year, what still feels blocked, and how God meets us even in the defended, imperfect places.

| When You Go Out to War: Elul, Struggle, and the Work of Return | 02 Sep 2025 | 00:53:33 | |
In this session of Underneath the Underneath, we open Parshat Ki Teitzei with its raw beginning: “When you go out to war…” War here is not only a battlefield but a mindset — the inevitable rumble with our struggles, shadows, and longings. Together we explore how the Torah guides us to meet desire (the captive woman), loss (returning what was lost), and hardness of heart (Amalek) with compassion and discernment. Elul calls us not to erase our shadow, but to wrestle with it, return what was never truly lost, and refuse the cynicism that closes our hearts. In the field of Elul, even war becomes a pathway home.

| Judges at the Gates and Elul: Compassion as a Path of Return | 26 Aug 2025 | 00:51:46 | |
In this session of Underneath the Underneath, we step into Elul through the parsha of Shoftim. What does it mean to place judges at our gates at the very moment we’re invited to return? Together we trace the arc from shattered gates and grief, through Tu B’Av’s love, into the gates of Elul—where the narrow places can soften into fields of compassion. Drawing on a teaching from Kedushat Levi, we explore how the way we judge ourselves and others awakens Heaven’s gaze in return, and how every threshold can open into Presence.

| Scattered Altars, Chosen House: The Fire We Share | 19 Aug 2025 | 00:52:21 | |
In this session of Underneath the Underneath, our 101st gathering, we explore the movement from scattered personal altars to the collective house of presence. What does it mean to serve ‘in every place you see,’ and what shifts when we are called to bring our flame only to ‘the place that God will choose’? Along the way, we touch the holy rub between autonomy and belonging, and uncover the blessing hidden in surrender. Beneath it all, we rest in the deeper Makom — the presence that is here and there, always.

| God Is Your Shadow — Reciprocity, Power, and the First Movement | 12 Aug 2025 | 00:55:08 | |
In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, mystical currents and sacred texts converge around Parshat Eikev to ask: What is the nature of our relationship with the Divine? Drawing on a teaching from the Baal Shem Tov and the verse from Psalms — Hashem Tzilcha, “God is your shadow” — we explore the mirroring between human and Heaven, and how every movement below awakens a movement above. Through text study, reflection, and somatic practice, we attune to the spiritual anatomy of openness: the open hand, the satiated belly, the rooted spine. Together we inquire into power, presence, and where the first movement begins — cultivating a relationship with the Divine that is both deeply feminine in its receptivity and grounded in the clarity of the masculine.

| The Shape of Comfort: On Suffering, Space, and What Widens the Soul | 05 Aug 2025 | 00:43:09 | |
In this week’s episode of Underneath the Underneath on Parshat Vaetchanan, we step into the space after Tisha B’Av—the aftermath of grief—and ask: What is comfort, really? We meet Moshe on the mountain, retelling his impassioned prayer and God’s response: Rav lach—“enough.” Through this sacred moment, we explore three layers of prayer, Rav Kook’s radical view of suffering, and how real comfort doesn’t come from fixing pain but from having enough space to hold it. We explore the difference between collapse and widening, between resisting life and bowing before mystery. This episode weaves together Kabbalah, trauma healing, and the tender terrain of mature prayer—where even a Divine “No” becomes a sacred space for co-creation. For anyone navigating longing, disappointment, or the ache for more, this class offers a map for sacred spaciousness.

| Av, Grief, and Cosmic Permission: The Torah of Alchemizing Loss | 29 Jul 2025 | 00:53:08 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, we enter the month of Av — a time when the Torah invites us into the depth of loss, not to avoid it, but to be transformed by it. Drawing from classical and contemporary sources — the Talmud, Psalms, the Piaseczner Rebbe, Francis Weller — we explore grief not as weakness, but as gateway. What if the tears themselves are a kind of prayer? What if the ruins are not a failure, but an initiation? From the Five Gates of Grief to the gates of tears that remain open even when all else closes, we ask: how do we meet our sorrow with presence? How do we make space for the losses of our lives — personal, ancestral, collective — and emerge not diminished, but more whole? This episode offers Torah for anyone who is ready to feel, to release, and to walk the sacred ground of grief with integrity and courage.

| Let it Loosen: On Vows, Grief, and Sacred Destruction | 22 Jul 2025 | 00:52:01 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, we enter the territory of vows — the inner narratives, soul contracts, and unconscious promises that shape our lives. We explore the Torah’s invitation to practice hatarat nedarim — the loosening of vows — and how, through awareness and presence, old bindings can begin to soften. Rooted in the word matir (to untie), this is the spiritual art of becoming unbound, of allowing ourselves to change. But not all structures dissolve gently. Some must burn. Together, we reflect on the altars we’ve built to false gods — the rigid scaffolding of identity and belief that no longer serve — and the sacred courage it takes to let them fall. This episode is a meditation on grief, inner loosening, and the holy fire that clears space for becoming.

| The Threshold Is the Teaching | 15 Jul 2025 | 00:52:02 | |
In this week’s session of Underneath the Underneath, we enter the quiet ache of Parshat Pinchas — a portion filled with transition, legacy, and the tender moment where Moshe sees the Land he cannot enter, calls for new leadership, and blesses Yehoshua. Drawing on a mystical teaching from the Sfat Emet, we explore Moshe as the masculine Sun, Yehoshua as feminine Moon what it means to pass the torch — to love deeply enough to let go, and to meet the vulnerability of endings with sacred presence. We touch the Bnot Tzlafchad, the movement toward embodied feminine Torah, and allow the transmission to arise — not from certainty, but from the threshold. This is a session of softened edges and soul listening. Of presence in the places we don’t get to stay. Of leadership as blessing, not arrival.

| What the Donkey Sees: The Embodied Wisdom of Pause, Pain & the Sacred Halt | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:50:58 | |
In this live transmission of Underneath the Underneath, we meet an unexpected guide: Bilam’s female donkey. Through her mysterious three stops along the way and Bilam’s reaction to her, we uncover a profound map for attuning to embodied wisdom, nervous system healing, and the sacred art of halting before collapse. This class explores how the donkey’s three stops mirror the stages of nervous system defense, and how feminine wisdom teaches us to pause, to sense, and to refuse the familiar impulse to override what we know. Together, we reflect on how often we strike down or bypass our own knowing, both personally and collectively, and what it takes to listen instead. Rooted in the energy of Tammuz, we explore the connection between internal heat, compression, and the sacred medicine of slowing down. This is a deeply embodied mystical class, weaving Torah, trauma wisdom, and personal healing into a transmission on the sacred halt that can save us—if we listen.

| Desert Medicine: A Mystical Framework for Inner Healing | 01 Jul 2025 | 00:56:57 | |
In this week’s episode of Underneath the Underneath, we explore Parshat Chukat as a mystical map of healing. Drawing from the figures of Moshe, Miriam, the Waters, the Snake, and the Staff, we uncover four archetypes of the healing journey: the guide, the midwife, the shadow, and the witness. We ask what it means to feel another without getting enmeshed. We touch the grief that arises when the well dries up. We ask what it means to hold space beside the rock without forcing it open. We examine Moshe’s seeming bypass, the danger of urgency, and the sacred pause that invites water to flow. We look at the snake — not as threat, but as mirror. And we consider how power can be wielded not to strike, but to invite. This class unfolded as a live mystical transmission — part teaching, part field-based listening — drawing from embodied presence, Torah, and the unseen.

| The Arc of Becoming: When Collapse is Not the End | 25 Jun 2025 | 00:58:48 | |
In this week’s Underneath the Underneath, we meet the mystery of Korach—not just as rebellion, but as collapse. What does it mean to be swallowed by the earth and not die, but disappear? What if becoming means letting old identities fall away in the dark, trusting that something in us is still ripening? We journey from the belly of the void to the blossoming of the staff—a sacred pause between ambition and emergence. This is a teaching on the mercy of hiddenness, the holiness of not-yet, and the quiet authority that flowers when the soul stops striving to prove itself.

| A Blessing I Wasn't Ready For: A Teaching From The Spies | 18 Jun 2025 | 00:56:05 | |
What if the very thing you long for is also the thing you fear? In this week’s session of Underneath the Underneath, we journey into the Torah portion of Sh’lach, exploring the mystical dimensions of longing, readiness, and the ache of the fruit—the vision that overwhelms the vessel. Through Hasidic and Kabbalistic sources, we ask: What happens when the promise appears too early, too bright, too close? Can wandering be a form of sacred preparation? And is the “no” we sometimes receive not punishment—but a pause that ripens us to receive? We meet the spies, the fruit, the land, and our own trembling hearts—stretching toward the mystery of Divine timing, inner expansion, and the slow becoming of the soul.

| The Second Time Around: When Longing Becomes the Offering | 11 Jun 2025 | 00:54:58 | |
Not all distance is exile. Sometimes it is the voice of the soul, aching its way back in. In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, we enter this weeks Torah portion and the field of Pesach Sheni, the “Second Passover”—a sacred doorway opened not by perfect timing, but by honest yearning. We explore the mystical function of restoration, the difference between complaint and desire, and the profound offering that emerges when we presence what was missed. What if what you couldn’t do the first time… still has a place? What if your ache is not failure, but prayer?

| The Voice Still Speaks: Attuning to the Frequency of Sinai | 28 May 2025 | 00:55:25 | |
In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, we explore the inner preparation and energetic alignment that makes revelation possible. As we enter the month of Sivan and approach Shavuot, we turn to the Baal Shem Tov’s teaching that the voice of Sinai never stopped — it’s still speaking, waiting for us to become still enough to hear. We dive into themes of readiness, emptiness, and the sacred unknown. The Torah was not given in a city, nor on a mountaintop of clarity — but in the wilderness. The desert becomes a holy container precisely because it is empty, uncertain, and wild. It’s there — in the place without maps — that we encounter the Divine. What does it mean to prepare ourselves to hear what’s already being spoken? How do the spiritual frequencies of this month invite us into alignment, humility, and holy listening? And how might these teachings reveal the subtle invitation of Sinai — not just as a historical moment, but as a present-moment possibility?

We reflect on the dreams that guide us and the steps that we walk along the way, expanding our awareness to hold the fullness of our journeys. We consider the power of collective gathering, witnessing, and consciousness. Drawing from a teaching in Kedushat HaLevi, we delve into the nature of prayer, the transformative force of gratitude, and the path to sanctity.

We delve into themes of the gathering of the Jewish people, the sanctity of Shabbat, and the healing power of collective spaces. We examine the role of Betzalel and our relationship to Shadow, as well as Moshe’s resistance to accepting the women’s mirrors.

We explore what the Divine truly seeks from us, balancing precision and expansion in our spiritual practice. Topics include personal and collective worship, the role of a transportable temple, and working with our “animal” nature. We journey through the inner and outer chambers of the heart, focusing on how to intensify our bond with the Creator.

| Standing at Sinai: Seeing or Believing? | 12 Feb 2025 | 00:54:01 | |
