Hey there, and welcome back to Take One, the podcast that brings you just one precise page of Tomlin each day. And I say precise because in today's

Daf Menachot, 66, the rabbis discuss how precisely should we count the Omer the 50 days from

Pesach until Shavuot? Listen, guys, this is not a drill. This count is upon us. It is going to

begin very, very soon. So it's a great opportunity to take a cue from today's page of Tomwood

and start getting ready. How should we do this? Well, we have a good idea. A couple years ago,

we asked our friend and colleague, Kylie Unel, who recorded a

really, really great podcast, by the way, on how to fix her soul during the Jewish month of Elul,

the 30 days that sort of lead up to the high holidays to Rosh Hashanah and Niam Kippur.

We asked her to take another stab at soul searching, soul stretching, soul preparation,

and really, really give us a podcast of counting the omert,

kind of hoping that you will bring new reflections and new insights to this very ancient tradition.

And boy, did she not disappoint.

We hope you would listen to the whole thing.

But today it is our pleasure to share with you that first episode all the way back from

the time machine in 2022 of Kylie Unel's 49 days to stretch my soul.

Here goes.

Hi, I'm Kylie Unel and eight months ago, I'm Kylie Unel, and eight months ago I set out on a journey to find and fix my soul, at least that's what I thought I was doing. It was Ellul, the month before the new Jewish year, and in following the Jewish tradition of soul searching during that month,

I tried a bunch of different things to connect to my soul.

I wanted to try and be a better version of myself in the new year.

Hi, Mom.

Is sweetheart?

Can I ask you a question?
