Prophetic Pattern of the Psalms Pt 2 It is very interesting that we are currently in the 3 week time period known by the Jews as ‘between the Straits' which started the evening of July 1st this year and ends the evening of July 22nd this year.  The war in the Strait of Hormuz has certainly intensified this past week after what was supposedly a ceasefire peace deal.  The Strait of Hormuz kept popping up on my news feed until finally this past Shabbat Abba prompted me to look up the word Hormuz in Hebrew to see if it in any form was in scripture. So I looked up the translation for a Hebrew word spelled Hey Resh Mem Zayin which are the consonants for the word Hormuz in Hebrew. That word spelled that way is HaRemez and means the hint, allusion, or symbol. Ha is a prefix meaning the and remez is hint allusion or symbol.  Turns out there is a very interesting connection between HaRemez, the Strait of Hormuz, AND this time of fasting and mourning known to the Jews as the time “Between the Straits” and in this message I will tell you all about it.  Additionally and interestingly our Psalm per day reading that I told you about in the last message seems to be lining up with the current escallation of the war in the Strait of Hormuz and the “Between the Straights” last 9 days known as an intensification in the mourning and fasting.  This Wednesday and Thursday July 22 and 23, 2026 are the end day of the fast and the infamous 9th of Av.  The corresponding Psalms of 109 through 111 are very interesting… could they be prophetic of events that may take place either shortly before, on, or shortly after the end of the time “Between the Strait(s)… or Hormuz?  We only have a few days before we find out.  VISIT US ONLINE FOR MORE MESSAGES LIKE THIS ONE AT www.HisWordHeals.com Calendar Prophetic Pattern of the Psalms_updated_July only Calendar Prophetic Pattern of the Psalms_updated whole calendar

How do you mourn a Beis Hamikdash you never knew, in a generation that's watched Klal Yisrael return to Eretz Yisrael and rebuild a country? Rav Moshe Taragin returns to Shtark Tank to help us hold two truths at once: we are living through open miracles, and we are still so far from the finish line.Rav Taragin unpacks why every question in Jewish life now splits into "before October 7th" and "after," why Tisha B'Av doesn't require manufactured grief but honest yearning, and how looking at Chazal's account of the Churban Bayis Sheni (zealotry, internal division, over-reliance on foreign powers) maps uncomfortably well onto Israeli society today. He also addresses the tension around visiting Har Habayit as a means to an end versus an end in itself, and offers a clear-eyed, non-preachy take on Aliyah, achdut, and what it means to stay grounded when the news cycle wants you anxious and reactive.In this episode:Why October 7th changed the answer to nearly every question in Jewish lifeThe difference between authentic mourning (aveilus balev) and performing grief on cueThe machlokes over changing Nusach HaTefillah to reflect our current realityWhat the internal strife of the Second Beis Hamikdash teaches us about achdut todayThe danger of turning Har Habayit visits into a photo op or political statementWhy Aliyah advocacy can tip into preachiness, and how to hold the ideal without judging the complexity of other people's livesPractical advice for gaining perspective when you're drowning in headlinesRav Taragin's new sefer, Reclaiming Redemption, HaGeula Volume 2: Faith, Identity, Peoplehood, and the Storms of War, is out now.Check out https://www.mtaraginbooks.com/ You can also join Rav Taragin's Whatsapp Chizzuk Chat: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HAER24G31VpJZW5zEXROYH for daily chizuk

"For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of queens." -Shakespeare, if the truth be told. Lindsey Graham is dead.

Send us Fan MailDeath can be one of the clearest teachers we have—but only if we stop treating it like a distant problem.In this episode, I'm joined by ritualist and death educator Shaina Garfield, founder of Leaves With You and one of the co-facilitators of the Beyond the Veil Retreat, to talk about green burial, grief, and the surprisingly life-giving practice of planning a sacred return to Earth.We begin with Shaina's nonlinear path into this work: being diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in college, discovering holistic healing, and following a design question that led her to create her first macrame coffin. Shaina shares why handweaving a biodegradable coffin can become so much more than an environmentally conscious funeral option—it can be a communal ritual in which every knot holds prayers, beauty, love, and memory.From there, we explore Shaina's deeply personal essay, The Return to My Earth, and the moment she realized that healing was not about transcending or escaping her body. It was about coming home to it.We talk about letting go of the lives we thought we would have, learning to hold gratitude and longing at the same time, and recognizing when the search for healing becomes another way of searching for something wrong with us.Shaina shares how plant medicine ceremony has served as a form of threshold training, why the real ceremony begins after the ceremony, and why integration and physical action matter more than continually chasing the next cure, treatment, or spiritual breakthrough. She also offers guidance for anyone curious about connecting with guides, ritual, and the unseen—even if plant medicine is not part of their path.And because this is the Ode to Joy podcast, we make space for the joy woven through it all: dance breaks, trees, water, gardens, laughter, daily acts of offering, and the practices that help us stay openhearted while living with pain and uncertainty.If you are curious about death-positive living, end-of-life planning, ritual, chronic illness, green burial, or what it means to return fully to your body and the Earth, this conversation offers both grounding and permission.Subscribe to the podcast, share this episode with someone who may need it, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Three Shaina Truths1. The equation of becoming requires both giving away and receiving.Whenever we cross a threshold and become a new version of ourselves, something must be released. Letting go creates the space into which the next chapter can arrive.2. Medicine is not necessarily a cure—it can be a key.No teacher, ceremony, treatment, or spiritual practice can walk the path for us. The key may open something, but we are still responsible for building the door, walking through it, and integrating what we have learned into our everyday lives.3. Our death can become our final offering to the Earth.Preparing for our sacred return is not only about deciding what happens after we die. It asks us to consider what we are cultivating within our bodies, our relationships, and our lives right now.Standout Quotes from Shaina“It's important to witness what is witnessing you, because what we're seeking is also seeking us.”“The equation of becoming means having to give away in order to receive.”“The ceremony is great, but it's really the integration and the action that make it real.”“Plant medicine is not a cure—it's a key. I'm the one who has to build the door and walk through it.”“Death is a key to experiencing more joy.”“We're looking at our death only to inform our life here today.”“We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.” —Friedrich NietzscheJournaling PromptsWhat am I being invited to give away so that I can receive what is trying to enter my life?Where has my desire to heal, grow, or improve quietly become a search for something wrong with me?What would it mean for me to return to my Earth—to my body, my needs, my limits, and the physical reality of my life?If I knew I were going to die tomorrow, what would feel complete—and what would I wish I had tended to more lovingly?How might I treat one ordinary act today—washing the dishes, preparing food, walking outside, or caring for my body—as an offering?What expectations about my life, my body, or the person I thought I would become am I ready to grieve and release?What would my own sacred return to Earth look and feel like? What does imagining it teach me about how I want to live now?Where is life already inviting me into the dance—and what keeps me from joining it?Resources MentionedShaina Garfield and Leaves With You⁠Read Shaina's essay, ⁠The Return to My Earth⁠Follow Leaves With You on InstagramLearn more about the Beyond the Veil RetreatExplore green burial and environmentally conscious end-of-life options in your local areaIn This EpisodeChronic illness as an initiation into healing, death work, and the EarthShaina's journey from industrial designer to ritualist and death educatorCreating biodegradable macrame coffinsWeaving prayers, memories, and love into a burial vesselReturning to the body after years of spiritual explorationWhen the healing journey becomes another form of self-rejectionHolding gratitude for the present while maintaining a vision for the futureThe equation of becomingLife as a series of thresholdsPlant medicine, responsibility, lineage, and discernmentWhy integration matters more than chasing spiritual experiencesConnecting with guides and the unseenLearning to live with death rather than treating it as a distant problemDance as prayer, embodiment, and connection to creationGreen burial as a physical and spiritual offeringUsing death to inform how we live todayShaina's offering at Beyond the VeilConnect with ShainaShaina Garfield is a ritualist, death educator, designer, and founder of Leaves With You.

What if heartbreak isn't something to avoid—but proof that you've truly loved something? After Egypt's unforgettable World Cup run, I found myself experiencing every emotion imaginable: pride, hope, joy... and ultimately, heartbreak. As an Egyptian living thousands of miles from where I was born, watching my country unite reminded me that some connections never fade. Home has a way of living inside you, no matter where life takes you. In this episode, I'm sharing why sports are never just sports, why millions of Egyptians—and immigrants around the world—felt every kick, save, and goal so deeply, and what this experience taught me about identity, community, resilience, and the courage to care. Because the opposite of heartbreak isn't happiness. It's indifference. And if your heart breaks, it means you showed up. You hoped. You believed. You loved something bigger than yourself. Whether you've ever cheered for your country, left home in search of another life, or simply cared enough to risk disappointment, this conversation is for you. In this episode you'll discover: Why sports can unite people across generations and continents The unique experience of loving two places at once as an immigrant What Egypt's World Cup journey taught me about resilience and hope Why heartbreak is often evidence of a life fully lived How choosing to care—even when it hurts—is one of the bravest things we can do Because a heart that's never broken... is probably a heart that's never been fully alive. ​______ You can get 15% off with my code THEREALDISH at checkout.

After child loss by suicide, many grieving mothers do not only miss their child — they also stop trusting themselves.In this episode of Down the Rabbit Hole, Melissa explores one of the most under-talked-about parts of long-term grief after the loss of a child by suicide: the collapse of self-trust.This is not only about early grief guilt. This episode looks at what can happen later, when guilt becomes woven into identity, motherhood, self-worth, and the way a grieving mother sees herself.In this episode, Melissa talks about:why suicide loss can make mothers question everything they thought they knewhow guilt can quietly become part of long-term griefwhy “guilt is not the same thing as truth”how suicide loss can filter a lifetime of love through the worst daythe difference between responsibility and controlwhy not being able to save your child does not mean you were not a good motherhow self-trust, self-worth, and motherhood become tangled after child losswhy the nervous system has to learn safety againwhat it can look like to begin trusting yourself in small, honest wayswhy rebuilding self-trust does not mean forgetting what happenedThis episode is part of the larger Down the Rabbit Hole conversation about what happens after survival — when grief changes shape, identity feels unfamiliar, and grieving mothers begin asking deeper “now what?” questions.Free Support Spaces MentionedYou Are Not Alone — free monthly support space for grieving mothers navigating child loss and suicide loss: REGISTER HEREThe Bridge Sessions: Inside The Rebuilding Room — free monthly guided rebuilding space for mothers asking deeper questions about identity, self-trust, and living forward after loss: REGISTER HEREIf this episode resonates with you, please follow the show, share it with another grieving mother who may need it, and consider leaving a rating or review. It helps The Leftover Pieces reach more grieving people who are learning how to live after loss.Click to Send a Text or Voicemail to MelissaSupport the show__________________________________________________________________________The Leftover Pieces is Support for Life After Suicide Loss.

July is National Bereaved Parents Awareness Month. Twice a week, we are re-releasing past podcast episodes honoring a variety of families and circumstances in their grief. Trigger warning: this episode centers on infant loss and grief. In this episode, we visit with grief counselor Becca Van Tassel about the challenging work of navigating grief after the loss of a baby. We explore why grief can be so painful, how it differs from depression, and practical ways families can support one another through mourning, including coping with guilt, honoring a child's memory, and helping siblings process loss. Grounded in Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning, this conversation offers compassionate guidance and hope for bereaved NICU families seeking to understand and move through their grief.

How do we belong to a story we did not experience?In this shiur, delivered at The Space, Rav Burg explores one of the deepest challenges of the Three Weeks: how can we mourn a Beis HaMikdash we never saw?We may know the facts of the Churban, but information is not experience. Knowledge is not mourning. Mourning begins when the loss becomes personal enough that we feel the emptiness.Drawing on the Torah's understanding of aveilus, the psychology of healthy mourning, this shiur shows that mourning is not merely sadness. It is creating an enduring relationship. It is the refusal to move on from what still matters.The Three Weeks are not about acting sad. They are about interrupting our numbness, recovering an enduring connection to the Beis HaMikdash, and asking what it means to rebuild a place for the Shechinah in our lives, our homes, and our world.

Mourning the loss of walking in the Spirit by grace

Mourning the loss and death that comes from sin

Send us Fan MailSomething wild happens when your life hits a season you can't “power through.” I'm sharing a personal update I've been living inside of lately: pregnancy, the humbling first trimester, and what it forces me to release when my usual productivity stories stop working. If you're a mom, a caregiver, a go-getter, or anyone moving through change, this is for the days when success looks like making it to bedtime and calling that sacred.We talk about tiny rituals as spiritual practice and realistic self-care. Not the fantasy of two uninterrupted hours, but the two-minute practices that bring you home: lighting a candle, making tea, watering a plant, stepping outside barefoot, taking five deep belly breaths, or putting your legs up the wall. I share how these micro-rituals build steadiness, protect your peace, and help you reorient when your nervous system is loud and your mind is spinning.Then we go deeper into community as medicine. I reflect on the kind of relationships that don't just validate you, but actually help you remember who you are. That also means grieving false belonging, noticing where familiarity isn't alignment, and trusting your nervous system before your thoughts catch up. We unpack expansion vs contraction, boundaries around gossip, and why nature is such a powerful teacher when you're tempted to hurry.If you're craving depth and ceremony, I also share details on the Beyond the Veil retreat (July 25 to 26 at Woodmont Day Camp in upstate New York) and what we're creating together with shamanic journeying, grief wisdom, and sacred space. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.✨ Three Elena TruthsYour nervous system often recognizes what belongs long before your mind catches up.Tiny daily rituals have the power to keep you connected to yourself when life won't make space for long spiritual practices.Every meaningful life requires grieving the relationships, expectations, and identities that no longer align with who you're becoming.

After child loss by suicide, legacy can become a bridge from survival into connection, meaning, and carrying love forward.In this episode of Down the Rabbit Hole, Melissa reads her chapter from Because They Lived: Memories & Stories of Amazing Kids Lost to Suicide - As Told by the Moms They Left Behind --Volume 7, The chapter is titled “The Seventh Thread: What Alex Taught Me About Legacy.”This episode is part reflection, part chapter reading, and part invitation to think differently about legacy after loss. What began as a project to help mothers preserve their children's stories slowly became something deeper: a way to continue relationship, carry love forward, and begin rebuilding after survival.In this episode, Melissa reflects on:why the number 7 became meaningful after Alex's deathhow The Legacy Project began as a way to remember childrenwhy legacy is about more than preserving memorieshow story, writing, and connection can become a bridge after child losswhat seven volumes and twenty-one children have taught her about lovewhy legacy does not have to look public, polished, or like anyone else's pathhow each grieving mother may discover her own bridge forwardMelissa also shares why Volume 7 feels like the natural completion of this version of The Legacy Project, while still leaving room for future story, legacy, and publishing support in other forms.Because They Lived: Volume 7   is not only Alex's story. It is also the story of the mothers and children who walked through this final Legacy Project volume with me — Suzanne for Skyler, Roe for Molly, Lou for Liam and Kim for Carson— each one honored with tenderness, courage, and love. In fact, across all 7 volumes, twenty-one children and twenty-one mothers have now been represented in these pages, creating a collective legacy of lives remembered fully, names spoken with love, and stories carried forward.

What do Psalms 25–30 teach us about how to actually live out our faith when guilt, fear, and doubt feel overwhelming?The psalms in our last episode answered the question what has God done. This episode answers the harder question...so now what do I do? In Psalm 25-30, David walks us through six raw, honest psalms that cover the full range of the human experience. The journey starts with guilt and ends with joy. And everything in between feels remarkably familiar.This Psalms 25-30 Bible study covers:[5:17] Psalm 25: Forgiveness and Direction – How to pray boldly for forgiveness and ask God to show you a better path forward even when the weight of your past feels too heavy to move.[11:08] Psalm 26: Accusation and Innocence – Whether you're guilty and need grace or innocent and need vindication, God is the right place to take both.[15:25] Psalm 27: Fear and the "One Thing" – Why David, who was surrounded by enemies and outnumbered, asked for just one thing, and why his answer might reframe everything you're afraid of right now.[19:30] Psalm 28: Unanswered Prayers – What happens when your deepest fear isn't your circumstances but that God isn't listening and how the act of praying itself becomes the turning point.[22:15] Psalm 29: Storms and Peace – Why the storms in your life aren't chaos and what it means that God's powerful voice is for you, not against you.[25:58] Psalm 30: Mourning and Dancing – How David's "weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning" is less about outcomes and more about the attitude of the heart.Psalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Prayer ListPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPhil Wickham - Psalm 8 (Hallé) [Official Music Video]ACTS Prayer GuideGroup Discussion Questions for Psalm 25–30:[7:10] In Psalm 25, we get four practices we can use to find God's way: studying God's word, praying to God, worshiping God, and seeking fellowship in church or a small group. Which of these four sounds the most intriguing, and which is the most difficult for you? [19:50] Psalm 28 shows that the act of praying itself is the pivot that moves David from pleading to praise, even without new information. Has there been a time when the simple act of saying the hard thing out loud to God has shifted something in you?[26:36] Psalm 30 invites us to celebrate “the mornings,” those moments after a long night of suffering.

More than forty years after his twenty-five-year-old son Eric died in a climbing accident, philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff joins Miroslav Volf to revisit the grief behind his classic Lament for a Son and his recent Living with Grief. “If he was worth loving when alive, he was worth grieving when dead.” In this episode they reflect together on mourning loss, refusing both the consolations of theodicy and the pressure to move on. Together they discuss owning grief rather than disowning it, lament as a cry that transcends analysis, and the limits of explaining suffering through theodicy. They explore Augustine and Calvin on grief, Karl Barth's “nothingness,” universality hidden in particular sorrow, and the prison classroom where incarcerated men claimed their own grief redemptively. Episode Highlights "I could not, and would not, allow it simply to heal." "If he was worth loving when alive, he was worth grieving when dead." "In my story I always say: I am one who lost a son. That's part of who I am." "Children should not die at twenty-five years of age. Nobody should die at twenty-five years of age." "It was good that I loved Eric. It was worth it. So my grief is worthwhile. And, in this world, love and suffering come together." About Nicholas Wolterstorff Nicholas Wolterstorff is the Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology at Yale University and a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. Born in 1932, he earned his PhD at Harvard and taught philosophy for thirty years at Calvin College before joining Yale in 1989. A leading Christian philosopher, he helped develop Reformed epistemology and co-founded the Society of Christian Philosophers. His books span aesthetics, epistemology, justice, and liturgy, including Lament for a Son (1987) and the memoir In This World of Wonders (2019). His son Eric died in a climbing accident in 1983.

You have given us the words." Universality in particularity The pallet of finished books: "What have I done?"
