Holy Fire, Real Life: Bringing Kedusha Home After Yom Tov
Coming back from Yom Tov can feel like a crash landing—how do we go from spiritual highs to everyday life? This week in Parshas Shemini, we learn from the story of Nadav and Avihu that holiness isn’t about escaping the world—it’s about transforming it. In this episode, Rivkah Phillips explores the tension between fire and form, passion and presence, and what it really means to bring Hashem into our lives—especially in the days after Pesach. Plus: the quiet power of Shlissel Challah and why your home is your Mishkan.

Small Alef Moments | Parshas Vayikra
This week’s parsha begins not with grandeur, but with a small alef — a symbol of humility, quiet strength, and sacred presence. In this episode, Rivkah explores what it means to show up in the stillness, in the ordinary, and to partner with Hashem in the small moments that matter most—especially as we approach Pesach. Because sometimes, your quietest steps are your greatest offerings.

You are Enough | Parshas Vayakhel
We spend so much of our week doing—working, building, proving. But in Parshas Vayakhel, Hashem tells us something radical: Before you build, you stop. Shabbos comes first.Because our worth isn’t in what we do—it’s in who we are.Join me as we explore how Shabbos teaches us to step back, trust, and truly be. Because sometimes, stopping isn’t the opposite of building—it’s the foundation of everything.
