The Neshamah Project Podcast Episode 92: The Tree, Light, and Death

In this episode of The Neshamah Project, we explore a luminous teaching from the Kedushat Levi on Genesis 2:17. Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev reimagines the story of Eden not as a tale of sin, but as a lesson in spiritual readiness — about what happens when we try to take in more light than we can hold. Through reflection and interpretation, we uncover how this Hasidic insight becomes a tool for human thriving: transforming darkness into light, overreaching into wisdom, and our daily struggles into sparks of awakening.
