Tzav: Keeping the Fire Alive in a Numb World

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin

About

In this episode, I reflect on Parshas Tzav, Shabbos Hagadol, and the days leading into Pesach. I speak about the fire on the alter that could never go out, what it means in our own lives to stay alive and connected, and why numbness is often more dangerous than struggle.

I explore the idea of the ashes we carry from what we’ve been through, and how even what feels burned or lost still holds something holy. I also speak about Egypt as an inner state: the beliefs and patterns that tell us we are stuck, that things cannot change, and that this is just how it is.

This week is not only about waiting for miracles. It is about becoming someone who can hold them. I reflect on the role of women in redemption, and what it means to live with enough faith, presence, and openness to allow something new to be born.

If there is a place in your life that feels shut down, this episode is an invitation to return to your fire.
