In this final bonus episode, we close our Nissan series with the tribe of Levi—the one who didn’t bring an offering for themselves, but stepped in to carry the whole.

This year, the energy deepens with a rare alignment: we burn chametz on the same day we say Nasi for Levi.

Together, we explore how Levi models the kind of service that builds a dwelling place for the Divine—not through ego, but through alignment.

Welcome back! In this episode of the Harchava podcast, I discuss the significance of Tu B'Shevat, the New Year of the Trees, and how it connects to our personal work and the Geulah process of elevating global consciousness. 

Let's dive into the lessons of the seven species of Eretz Yisrael—wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates—and discuss how each represents different aspects of spiritual and personal growth. 

We'll also discuss the importance of shifting our consciousness to see the potential and goodness in ourselves, others, and the world, ultimately realizing that Geulah is already unfolding and it's up to us to open our eyes and bring it into reality.

Welcome back to the Harchava podcast! I'm Rucheli Berry, and today I'm sharing a deeply personal experience from this past week. A pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder brought my life to a crashing halt, forcing me to stop everything. The pain was so intense that it made me question my body, my goals, and my ability to achieve anything.

But Hashgacha Pratis (Divine Providence) means everything happens for a reason... for us to grow and evolve into who we're meant to be. This experience turned into a mirror, reflecting areas where I felt squeezed not just physically, but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Taking a week off wasn't a choice but a necessity, and it’s helped me understand the importance of alignment and purpose during challenging times. 

As I dive into the lessons learned from this painful ordeal, I’ll connect them with the spiritual teachings of Chanukah, Rosh Chodesh, and the Gregorian New Year. I discuss finding harmony in family and work, the power of gratitude, and the significance of intentional breathing. 

Let's explore together how we can transform challenging moments into opportunities for growth and realignment.
