Love Genus Podcast Season 2 Episode 6 The Power of “I Am”- Divine Vulnerability

Welcome and Happy Holidays. Today is Christmas Eve and we are exploring the perinatal experience of Mary, mother of Christ and Christ in our discussion power and resistance.  We often don’t consider Mary as “powerful,“ no more than we consider G-d as “vulnerable” or “Fragile,” but for a moment- lets look at what happens when we rethink the power of divine vulnerability.  

Love Genus Podcast Season 2 Episode 5: Identity, Revolution, Reclamation

Happy Holidays!  I was inspired by the Torah portion of Rabbi Hilly’s talk last Friday night who spoke about the Menorah as a symbol of resistance.  Although in popular culture outside of religious instruction we may not see it that way, this week kicks off the first of a three-episode series of looking at the signs of the winter solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa as symbols of resistance in trying times.  
How can your light be a miracle?  What are you resisting?
Let’s discuss.
