Jewish women talking about Torah and the lived experience of our Judaism.

Miriam Cohen || I Didn't Know Who I Was

What does it look like to struggle with untempered chessed, to give and give without end, and wind up depleted, totally disconnected from yourself?

And what does it look like to learn how to give from a place of fullness, without resentment, to give to those around us while staying connected to every part of who we are?

Today, Miriam shares how the teachings of the seven emotional sefiros helped her confront her codependency and heal.

text from episode outro:

Chessed, I learn to give without drowning, 
Gevurah, I fashion vessels to hold my love. 

Tiferes, I bring my full self to the table. 
Netzach, I persevere from a place of passion, 
not fear. 

Hod, I trust my passion, 
even when it simmers 

Yesod, I approach the world 
with connection, and love

Malchus, 
I take responsibility for my own story, 
I rise to greet this moment, right now, 

I turn my gaze to the present, 
to my breath, to my vessel.

I am made up of so much that came before me, 
but right now, I choose the life that I have.
