Get StartedHealing from the Trauma of Slavery (Part 4 of 9)
Refa'einu: Prayer, Sefirah And Healing From Trauma
Join Rabbi Fohrman and Immanuel Shalev, as they dive deep into Refa’einu, our prayer for healing, and its unexpected connections to Sefirat HaOmer. Could understanding this strange connection somehow uncover the key to praying to God as our healer? Could it provide the spiritual guidance a world battling COVID-19 deeply needs?
In episode three, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu journeyed back to Egypt, for an in-depth account of the trauma the Israelites experienced there. In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu return to the story of Marah, to see if it reads any differently with this backstory in mind. What they discover is an incredible new meaning to God’s promise to be our Healer--a meaning that extends beyond individual healing to touch on the very essence of our national identity as caregivers to the world. Could it be that God’s promise to heal us is intimately bound up with our willingness to heal others? Listen to find out.
