Neshamah Project Podcast Episode 122: Riffin' with the Rabbis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of The Neshamah Project, Rabbi Ben Newman revives Riffing with the Rabbi with longtime friend Marcia Salter, joined along the way by Rabbi Shoshana Leis, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it means to truly listen—to one another, to uncertainty, and to the “still, small voice.” Together they explore truth and perspective, conflict and communication, Hillel and Shammai, Elijah, Kabbalah, and the difficult discernment between compassion, boundaries, and action. It’s an unsc
Neshamah Project Episode 121: 52 Gates/September Both/And (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The Neshamah Project Episode 118: One Stone at a Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Rabbi Ben explores two teachings from the Degel Machaneh Ephraim about how spiritual transformation unfolds. Every action becomes a stone: one act leads to another until, almost without noticing, we have built a mountain. Teshuvah, prayer, and generosity offer ways to change direction by laying down different stones. The episode also considers what happens when Torah becomes more than information—when study becomes relationship, and wisdom begins to flow like a living well from
