Rachel recounts her path into Orthodox Jewish life starting in eighth grade at an Orthodox day school, describes how tefillah and Torah have sustained her, and shares how Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning—relayed to her through released hostage Or Levy—became a tool for enduring suffering by finding purpose. She discusses Modeh Ani, trust in Hashem amid uncertainty, grief as an expression of love, “toxic positivity” versus “tragic optimism,” and verses and teachings that frame this world as a hallway to the next.

She unpacks “Omer” (manna measure, barley offering, forgotten sheaf for the needy) as receiving from God, returning to God, and giving to others, and defines “Sefirah” as counting, story, and shining, framing the Sefirot as divine vessels and soul powers. Using building a business, she maps Keter through Malchut and applies the framework to relationships, procrastination, balancing effort with surrender, and the 49-day count leading to an uncountable 50th, emphasizing that simply counting fulfills the mitzvah and that God meets us in our humanity.

#131: The Sefirot Are Everywhere: A Divine Framework for Building Anything with Rivkah Mazal Tauber

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/804464/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>Dr. Edith Eger: Holocaust Survivor on Choice, Freedom, and Healing From the Inside Out In this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah Krinsky &amp; Eda Schottenstein, we&apos;re re-releasing an early, cherished interview after Dr. Edith Eger’s death, honoring the Auschwitz survivor, psychoanalyst, and author of The Choice, who taught that while we can’t control circumstances, we can choose our response. Eger recounts liberation after being left for dead, the loss of her parents and first love, guilt about her mother’s death, and how returning to Auschwitz helped her forgive herself. She discusses Viktor Frankl’s influence, finding purpose, sharing rather than hoarding, and distinguishing distress from stress. Eger offers guidance on self-love as self-care, expression as an antidote to depression, revisiting trauma, responding instead of reacting, compassionate listening with children, and building relationships through responsibility, growth, and hope, insisting hate keeps us imprisoned and that love is shown through actions. 00:00 Tribute to Edith 02:11 Meeting Edith Again 02:30 Liberation and Legacy 03:53 Frankl and Purpose 05:19 Dancing to Survive 05:54 First Love Lost 07:27 Rescued from Death 08:10 Joy and Growth Mindset 11:35 Guilt and Forgiveness 12:17 Faith and Sharing Bread 14:57 Have Tos and Hope 17:30 New Books and Recipes 19:24 Wisdom and Self Love 21:02 Secrets and Expression 21:46 Kind Words Only 22:48 Choices After Trauma 23:40 Speak Your Truth 24:55 Evolving Beyond Fear 27:08 Mind Freedom in Auschwitz 29:57 Forgiveness and Freedom 31:06 Validate Feelings at Home 34:45 Marriage Lessons Twice 37:41 Respond Don’t React 39:45 Legacy and Final YesesCOMMUNITY Join the Community!

Eger recounts liberation after being left for dead, the loss of her parents and first love, guilt about her mother’s death, and how returning to Auschwitz helped her forgive herself. She discusses Viktor Frankl’s influence, finding purpose, sharing rather than hoarding, and distinguishing distress from stress. Eger offers guidance on self-love as self-care, expression as an antidote to depression, revisiting trauma, responding instead of reacting, compassionate listening with children, and building relationships through responsibility, growth, and hope, insisting hate keeps us imprisoned and that love is shown through actions.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;00:00 Tribute to Edith&lt;br/&gt;02:11 Meeting Edith Again&lt;br/&gt;02:30 Liberation and Legacy&lt;br/&gt;03:53 Frankl and Purpose&lt;br/&gt;05:19 Dancing to Survive&lt;br/&gt;05:54 First Love Lost&lt;br/&gt;07:27 Rescued from Death&lt;br/&gt;08:10 Joy and Growth Mindset&lt;br/&gt;11:35 Guilt and Forgiveness&lt;br/&gt;12:17 Faith and Sharing Bread&lt;br/&gt;14:57 Have Tos and Hope&lt;br/&gt;17:30 New Books and Recipes&lt;br/&gt;19:24 Wisdom and Self Love&lt;br/&gt;21:02 Secrets and Expression&lt;br/&gt;21:46 Kind Words Only&lt;br/&gt;22:48 Choices After Trauma&lt;br/&gt;23:40 Speak Your Truth&lt;br/&gt;24:55 Evolving Beyond Fear&lt;br/&gt;27:08 Mind Freedom in Auschwitz&lt;br/&gt;29:57 Forgiveness and Freedom&lt;br/&gt;31:06 Validate Feelings at Home&lt;br/&gt;34:45 Marriage Lessons Twice&lt;br/&gt;37:41 Respond Don’t React&lt;br/&gt;39:45 Legacy and Final Yeses&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;COMMUNITY&lt;br/&gt;Join the Community!

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/804464/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a>Finding Inner Freedom on Pesach: Rabbi YY Jacobson on Shame, Surrender &amp; Redemptive Consciousness This episode is dedicated in memory of Rivkah’s grandfather Mr. Max New, OB&quot;M. In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we welcome Rabbi YY Jacobson to discuss why many people lack inner freedom even in good external conditions, emphasizing that freedom requires disciplined inner work: noticing one’s “Egypt,” pausing before reacting, cultivating curiosity, prayer, support systems, and being truly seen. Jacobson explores destructive vs. holy shame, Tanya’s model of distinguishing animal and divine consciousness, surrendering control to God without surrendering to abuse, and experiencing embodied oneness as redemptive consciousness. He also contrasts revealed and hidden miracles (Pesach vs. Purim), reflects on current events and collective resilience, and highlights softening the heart, authenticity, and non-transactional relationships.
