Bekhorot 11 - Mind The Gap

Drawing on Michelangelo, Moses, the Ark of the Covenant, and one very short sukkah, Hidary explores the mysterious boundary separating Heaven and Earth. Can we ever reach across the gap and encounter the Divine? Listen and find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
