  • Summary

  • In this week’s episode we look at text from Midrash Tanchuma on Exodus 19:16, which describes all the fiery wonders that accompanied the giving of the Torah. The midrash goes on to also recount many watery wonders done by G-d to show divine power, including inundating a third of the surrounding lands by the Mediterranean sea. We discuss the paradox that we do not have control over the weather, but also that climate change is caused by human action. We also discuss how having faith can keep us going in scary and complex times. Follow along with the source sheet here: https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/452572
