2 Paleys on a Pod

In this week's parsha, God tells Abram (later Avraham) to leave his homeland for an unrevealed land. God will make him a great nation and bless him as well as give the land to his descendants. Michael and Briyah talk about her recent medicine journey with acacia and what it means to be a blessing.
We also discuss clutter and how it affects our lives.
Sorry you only get my dad on video this time :)
Have a great week and shabbat shalom!

Michael and Briyah discuss the first parsha of the Torah from Budapest and Montreal, respectively. Wow. There’s a lot to unpack here. Adam and Eve getting banished from the Garden of Eden. Sibling murder. Noah’s ark. It seems the world has been corrupt ever since. Speaking of, we remember the horrors of October 7, three years later.
And what does any of this have to do with The Four Agreements?
Let’s start the Torah for another year!

Did you miss us? After a very long hiatus, we have returned and are ready to go! It's been quite a season (or a few) and we wish to use this space to continue to learn and grow together, with love. Please spread the word that the pod is back on!

We are back with an exciting new episode about the mishkan, or tabernacle that the Jews were instructed to prepare so they could have a place to dwell with Hashem.
A few questions…
Do you show vulnerability? Is it hard for you? Do you think you’re doing people a favor by trying to make their lives “easier” even when it affects you negatively?
While I may sound mean or harsh towards my father, it is not your place to judge. We all have soul contacts here on this planet and some of them might be confusing to you. That’s ok!
If you suspect you’re an emotionally immature parent, please get yourself some help. Contact me for specific ideas. You think you’re only hurting yourself but you’re hurting everyone around you and it’s not OK.

This episode sees the continuation of Joseph being scapegoated by his family. A story as old as time itself. But Joseph takes the high road, as many scapegoats do and shows mercy on his lying siblings. He would still do anything for them because that's the mensch he is. Bless his heart.
This episode had some technical difficulties and I'm honestly not sure if it will continue. Not feeling the love after nearly 4 years.
If you listened, thanks! Happy 2026. I hope it's a good one for you.
