From the series: The Road Less Traveled – A Healing Journey Toward Eretz Yisrael and Ourselves In the wake of October 7th, something ancient stirred in the collective soul of Am Yisrael—fear, grief, longing, awakening. Galut and Geulah are no longer abstract ideas. They are personal. They are embodied. They live inside our nervous systems and conversations. In this first class, we explore how the physical exile of the Jewish people reflects a deeper spiritual and psychological exile—within ourselves. Drawing on Rav Kook, the Vilna Gaon, Yechezkel’s vision of the dry bones, Viktor Frankl, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we uncover a powerful framework for healing: 🕊 Exile as disconnection from soul, meaning, and purpose 🌱 Return as the act of restoring light to our vessels—nationally and personally 🌍 Eretz Yisrael not just as a place, but as a living soul-bond that reconnects us to who we truly are We ask: What happens to a people—and a person—when cut off from their source? What does healing look like when Torah, identity, and land are reunited? Join us on this journey of spiritual return—back to self, back to soul, back to the land.
