In this episode, Rabbi Dorothy Richman delves into the meaning of "Zeh Eli v’Anveihu" — "This is my God, and I will make a place" — from the Song at the Sea. Through Midrash and commentary, she explores how even the most vulnerable, from maidservants to infants, personally experienced the Divine at the Red Sea, and how their experience offers us a model for spiritual awareness. Through breath, song, and meditation, Rabbi Dorothy Richman guides us to explore the practice of creating space for the sacred in moments of upheaval – just as our ancestors did in their journey to freedom.
