Kabbalist teaches when two friends come together for the purpose of sharing, the purpose of spiritual

connection, then the light, what we call the light of the Creator, comes and rests upon

them in a way that they can never achieve on their own.

Welcome to spiritually hungry.

Today we're going to speak about something that is, I think, on the top of all of our minds,

especially this weekend, and that is the topic of nurturing the soul.

My mother-in-law and mentor, Karen Berg, was asked this question a lot.

People would come to her and say, I'm so busy with life and I have a good life, it's good enough,

I'm pretty successful.

Why do I need to carve out time for spiritual practice or spirituality?

And her answer was, it's a good question to which I could pose another.

How can we be too busy for spirituality when without the spirit we would have nothing to be busy with?

Feeding the body is how we survive, but feeding our soul allows us to thrive.

When the soul is fed, the body shines bright.

So I love this first starting point because I think most people, even if they're curious about spirituality,

or even if they find a place for it, they think it's important, it's not on the top of the list.

Because the way the mind works is I need to first make

sure that I'm successful, that I have a business, I have a career, a family, a home,

all the things that society tells us that we should pursue, right?

When we grow up, no one is really teaching us.

I mean, we're trying to change that here, but teaching children, you know, spirit is

more important than any other pursuit of the mind
