Sacred Silence (talk)

In this talk from Parashat Shemini (Leviticus 9:1 - 11:47), we explore the profound significance of silence in our spiritual journey. Just as the High Priest Aaron maintained silence in the face of tragedy, we too discover the power of quiet contemplation. In the midst of life's seeming unfairness, we learn to listen to the whispers of the soul and uncover the divine wisdom that resides within the silence. Through moments of sacred silence, we connect with the Divine Presence, transcending words to commune with the essence of holiness. Embracing the hallowed stillness, we find solace, clarity, and renewal. Sometimes the only appropriate response to the world is "Wow."
