Episode 88 - Tisha B'av Postscript
In this week’s episode of Streetfarbrengen we dive into a thought-provoking question sparked by a morning shul conversation: Do we live our spirituality symbolically, practically, or dynamically? Using the famous Talmudic scenes of Rabbi Akiva at the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, we explore how two different moments — seeing the Temple’s ruins from afar and witnessing a fox emerge from the Holy of Holies — reveal distinct ways of experiencing reality. Is spirituality just an abstract picture, or an unfolding event we actively connect to? And how can that shift change the way we approach our faith, memory, and lived experience today?
