Podcasts about sacred spaces

Wendy and Clint explore the concept of 24/7 places of worship, noting that while many traditional churches have regular hours, some Catholic chapels and mosques offer late-night access for specific events. They mention specific examples like Saint Mary's Perpetual Adoration Chapel in Alexandria, Virginia, and Dar us Salaam in Maryland. They also discuss the symbolism in religious practices, such as the mezuzah in Jewish homes and the garments in Mormon traditions.

Finding your sacred space if you're grieving and you feel like you don't belong stick with me because within the next several months, I'll be bringing you a space where you do belong it'll be called sacred space.

On today's episode of the Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt podcast we are joined by a special guest- a friend of mine named Ryan Springer who's studied the esoteric side of LDS Mormonism and he's here to explain how it fits into the film Heretic! We'll discuss his soon-to-be-published article on the subject which goes into topics we'll discuss on the show today: Ryan's journey from LDS to the Occult and back, Heretic themes of Western Esotericism, Gnosticism and Joseph Smith's transformative journey embedded into the LDS Temple Endowment Ceremonies. We'll discuss Sacred Spaces, human power structures, hidden knowledge, Veils, Divine Feminine, Heretic's ANTI-Endowment Ceremony with comparisons to Freemasonry, Rosicrucians, Aleister Crowley's Thelema, Magic Underwear, Hecate and more!I HIGHLY recommend you catch the video version of this episode with Ryan's presentation that I'll throw up on my video free feeds the same day as the rest of the free feeds get the audio!

Your witch friends are bringing this series to a close with a wrap-up of their final morning at the conference, where they participated in a Sekhmet ritual, then it was back to the wilds of New Jersey to do some goth sightseeing and of course, stop at Sonic for tots.  The witches have had a blast recapping this conference for you, so enjoy this last installment while you bask in the delight of what is hopefully not yet a cruel, cruel summer!

Welcome back! In this episode, I'm taking you deeper into what holistic interior design really means to me — and how my personal journey shaped the way I approach space, energy, and design today.I'm sharing my story — from growing up in chaotic, shared spaces, to discovering the magic of theatre, finding sanctuary in my first apartment, and ultimately weaving together spirituality, energy work, and design. You'll hear about the turning points that led me to become a certified Feng Shui practitioner, Reiki Master, and holistic designer — and how I integrate it all into the work I do now.Then I walk you through my Top 10 ways to embrace holistic interior design right now — things you can do today to shift the energy in your space and reconnect with your home as a tool for healing, alignment, and intention.Whether you're a homeowner, creative, or wellness entrepreneur, these tips will help you design a space that holds you, inspires you, and reflects your highest self.In this episode, I share:What holistic interior design is and how I define itHow my lived experience led me to this workWhy space isn't just physical — it's emotional and spiritual, tooMy top 10 (plus a bonus!) energy-shifting practices for your homeHow to connect more deeply with your space through simple, soul-supporting changes✨ Feeling inspired to try one of these?

What if everyday moments—like washing dishes or sitting in traffic—could actually connect you to heaven? In this episode, we're diving into what it really means to live into your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God. We'll chat about the baptismal priesthood—not as some abstract theology, but as a real, lived-out calling to be a bridge between heaven and earth. Whether you're changing a diaper or heading into a meeting, worship isn't just for Sunday mornings—it's for every part of your life. I sit down with Fr. Michael Voithofer, and we talk about how worship shifts our focus, heals our hearts, and draws us into God's presence where we can actually rest. You'll hear how starting your day with a posture of poverty of spirit—just being honest about your need for God—can transform the way you live, love, and lead. So grab your coffee, take a breath, and join us as we explore what it looks like to live from a place of sonship, freedom, and joy—bringing God's presence into every moment. Are you ready to live like you're deeply loved and fully sent?

A sacred space that's what I'm talking about today in our day of loss. I'm letting you know that there will be a space for anybody who needs to feel safe coming soon.

This week, your witch friends are bringing you a veritable plethora of witch info, as they attended a full day of rituals and lectures at Sacred Space 2025 that took place in late March!  We are talking bears, moons, jars, death, AND SO MUCH MORE.  The witches had so much fun recapping each day with each other, and are so happy to share it with you!  Spoiler alert, this episode is good for long commutes and crafting evenings!  

Welcome to “Welcome to the Sacred Space,” the inaugural episode of The Sacred Sunflower Podcast with host Sophia Antoine. In this warm and personal introduction, Sophia opens the doors to a supportive sanctuary designed for honest self-expression, respectful conversation, and communal growth. She shares her background as a doula, life coach, and caretaker, reflecting on experiences that have shaped her nurturing approach—such as her husband's kidney transplant journey and her work assisting others through pregnancy and birth.Sophia emphasizes that this podcast is not about perfection; rather, it's about progress, vulnerability, and genuine connection. She invites listeners to lean into meaningful dialogue on topics ranging from trending birth-world news to everyday mental and emotional well-being. Journaling, healthy boundary-setting, and practical self-care tools are cornerstones of her approach, and she promises to provide worksheets and resources to help listeners put these practices into action.Above all, this inaugural episode establishes a kind, loving, and inclusive atmosphere where anyone can find support and understanding. By sharing her story and personal reflections, Sophia hopes to foster a sense of community, inspire open-minded conversations, and remind listeners that we're all on this journey together.

As the world feels increasingly unstable, many of us are seeking ways to stay grounded, to keep our hearts open, and to resist despair. In this timely encore episode, Buddhist teacher and author Lama Rod Owens reminds us that joy is not only possible in times of crisis—it is essential.Lama Rod shares deeply from his lived experience as a Black, queer spiritual teacher in America. We talk about how rage can be holy, how rest is sacred, and how joy can serve as a radical, defiant act in the face of oppression.This conversation is an anchor for anyone navigating stress, overwhelm, or heartbreak right now. May it nourish you deeply.In this episode:How joy functions as a tool for resistanceWhat it means to stay emotionally present without being consumedWhy creative expression is essential for survivalHow to begin cultivating inner spaciousness, even in chaosPractices to help you return to your centre

Witches, they have done it again!  Your besties have gone to Sacred Space 2025, and they are ready to report back on all the awesomeness that transpired.  On this first night, Blackbird and Scarlet talk about a ritual with The Fool, a ritual with CHAOS!!!, and a ritual with Hecate herself (as aspected/channeled by Laura Tempest Zakroff!)  The witches cannot wait to tell you all about it, so pop in those earbuds and get ready for the rundown of Night One!  

This is a very short audio episode discussing the simple fact that throughout the Bible, Yahweh is referred to as a dwelling. His Name is a fortress. He is a strong tower. He is safety and covering.  The Most High is holy. There is none like Him. And a house is a sacred space.

Laylla and Chelle spill the enchanted tea on their magical adventures at the 2025 Sacred Space Conference! From leading their deeply transformative Fool Meditation Ritual to hugging the absolute spell out of some beloved listeners, it was a whirlwind of candles, community, and just the right amount of chaos!The witches share stories from the workshops they attended and the brilliant witches they connected with...yes, we're talking about Mat Auryn, Jhenah Telyndru, Amy Blackthorn, Mhara Starling, Kristoffer Hughes, Christian Brannen, and so many more. There were spellbooks, sacred moments, and possibly a few awkward ones too! Like when Chelle said something very, very cheeky to Kristoffer Hughes, who (thank the gods) found it hilarious. Laylla, on the other hand, may or may not have had an awkward entanglement with Jhenah Telyndru and is now fairly convinced she has to avoid the Avalonian Priestess out of sheer embarrassment.Between the deep spiritual work and the laugh-until-you-snort moments, this episode is part recap, part celebration, and all community. Whether you were there in person or in spirit, come along for the ride as the witches reflect on the joy, power, and absolute magic of sharing sacred space with this incredible pagan community.Fool of the Labyrinth Chant (replace Lady with Fool)Got a question?

This week: Starmerism's moral vacuum ‘Governments need a mission, or they descend into reactive incoherence' writes Michael Gove in this week's cover piece. A Labour government, he argues, ‘cannot survive' without a sense of purpose. The ‘failure of this government to make social justice its mission' has led to a Spring Statement ‘that was at once hurried, incoherent and cruel – a fiscal drive-by shooting'.  Michael writes that Starmer wishes to emulate his hero – the post-war Prime Minister Clement Atlee, who founded the NHS and supported a fledgling NATO alliance. Yet, with policy driven by Treasury mandarins, the Labour project is in danger of drifting, as John Major's premiership did. Starmerism's policy vacuum is being filled so rapidly by HMT that we are embarking on an era of ‘cruel Labour'.  Michael joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside John McTernan, former private secretary to Tony Blair. (1:37) Next: have the Church's sacred spaces become community clubs? From yoga classes to drag shows, and even a helter-skelter, the Revd Dr Jamie Franklin, host of the podcast Irreverentand author of The Great Return, writes in the magazine this week about what he argues is the ‘tragic misuse of its sacred spaces' by the Church of England. This new reality may be symptomatic of a wider issue with the leadership of the Church, currently pondering its future. The journalist Quentin Letts provides his own manifesto for the next Archbishop of Canterbury in this week's diary.  So do diverse uses of space broaden the Church's appeal or does it run the risk of diluting its holiness? Quentin, whose new book NUNC! Is out now, joined the podcast alongside Jamie to discuss. (20:52) And finally: is Clandon Park a visionary restoration or a catastrophic precedent? Calvin Po addresses the ‘conundrum of conservation' in the Arts lead for the magazine this week: how much of a building can be restored before it becomes a different building entirely?  Plans have moved forward for the 18th century Palladian mansion Clandon Park, managed by the National Trust, to be preserved in a half-charred form, following its gutting by fire in 2015. The Trust says this ‘approach combines careful conservation, scholarly restoration and sensitive contemporary design'. And The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), founded by William Morris, has hailed the plans, arguing that a full restoration would amount to a ‘feeble and lifeless forgery' and the ‘Clandon of the future will offer a markedly different visitor experience to that of the past, but one that will have its own interest'. Calvin, however, worries that this sets a ‘catastrophic precedent' for restorations of the future, and The Georgian Group actively opposed the Trust's proposal, arguing that the building's merit comes in its original design ‘not in burnt bricks'.  To discuss further we were joined by The Georgian Group's director Dr Anya Lucas, and the architectural historian – and former Chair of SPAB – Gillian Darley. (35:17) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

Calvin Po addresses the ‘conundrum of conservation' in the Arts lead for the magazine this week: how much of a building can be restored before it becomes a different building entirely?  Plans have moved forward for the 18th century Palladian mansion Clandon Park, managed by the National Trust, to be preserved in a half-charred form, following its gutting by fire in 2015. The Trust says this ‘approach combines careful conservation, scholarly restoration and sensitive contemporary design'. And The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), founded by William Morris, has hailed the plans, arguing that a full restoration would amount to a ‘feeble and lifeless forgery' and the ‘Clandon of the future will offer a markedly different visitor experience to that of the past, but one that will have its own interest'. Calvin, however, worries that this sets a ‘catastrophic precedent' for restorations of the future, and The Georgian Group actively opposed the Trust's proposal, arguing that the building's merit comes in its original design ‘not in burnt bricks'.  To discuss further we were joined by The Georgian Group's director Dr Anya Lucas, and the architectural historian – and former Chair of SPAB – Gillian Darley. (35:17) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

The fifth Sunday of Lent, the veneration of St Mary of Egypt, is the subject of this season finale episode.Saint Mary did not leave us with insightful writings. Saint Mary left us with an exemplary life we can strive to emulate. Yet, we have almost no details about how she lived her day to day life & we couldn't emulate it anyway because we don't live alone in a desert. But she clearly spent her life cultivating a deep sense of her sinfulness, a deep repentance of her sins, a profound awareness of God's love & a profound joy at God's forgiveness & these are what we can strive, with God's help, to emulate.This is the answer to the question asked of the apostles in the second chapter of Acts after the first preaching of the evangelion of Jesus, The Christ: "what then shall we do?"Reference materials for this episode: Previous episodes - Saint Mary of Egypt: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1443073/episodes/8220564 - Sacred Space part 1: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1443073/episodes/16010821Complete account of St Mary's life - https://stmaryofegypt.org/files/library/life.htmScripture citations for this episode:Readings for The Fifth Sunday of Lent - Hebrews 9:11-14 - Mark 10:32-45Luke 9:46-48 - parallel to Mark 10 aboveLuke 9:51-56 - shall we call down lightning & thunder?1 Corinthians 9:24-27 - Run the race to complete it & winThe Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion with oversight from Fr Symeon KeesParadosis Pavilion - https://youtube.com/@paradosispavilion9555https://www.instagram.com/christiansaintspodcasthttps://twitter.com/podcast_saintshttps://www.facebook.com/christiansaintspodcasthttps://www.threads.net/@christiansaintspodcastIconographic images used by kind permission of Nicholas Papas, who controls distribution rights of these imagesPrints of all of Nick's work can be found at Saint Demetrius Press - http://www.saintdemetriuspress.comAll music in these episodes is a production of Generative Soundshttps://generativesoundsjjm.bandcamp.comDistribution rights of this episode & all music contained in it are controlled by Generative SoundsCopyright 2021 - 2023

In this episode, host Claire Bown talks with Tonia Dhaese and Armand Storck about the church-based Slow Art Day movement in Antwerp. We explore why churches provide ideal settings for slow looking and how the architecture, lighting, and atmosphere naturally encourage contemplation.For Slow Art Day 2025 (April 5), listeners will learn about events across four Antwerp churches, including St. Paul's exhibition featuring masterpieces by Rubens and Van Dyck displayed at eye level - a rare opportunity to get up close with artworks normally hung four metres high. Tonia and Armand share practical advice for churches interested in joining the movement, emphasising the importance of training guides to facilitate rather than lecture, maintaining flexibility in approaches, and creating inclusive experiences where no prior knowledge is required. Whether you're interested in slow looking techniques or considering how your own church might participate in Slow Art Day, this conversation offers lots of new insights into creating meaningful art experiences in sacred spaces.The Art Engager is written and presented by Claire Bown.

Popping in for a moment with the DIVINE on this timely occasion So happy Saturday, beloved. A partial solar eclipse is happening today (March 29) where the moon partially cover the sun.We are entering the eclipse Hara Line… a portal between worlds where the veils thin, and the frequencies of Earth and Cosmos speak in clear song.Can you feel the pulse? The breath between breaths? The primal contraction before birth?

In this episode of the Creative Genius podcast, I interview Rebe Huntman about her debut memoir, "My Mother in Havana, a memoir of magic and miracle." Rebe shares her personal story of losing her mother at a young age and the subsequent decades of feeling disconnected from her memory. Driven by a deep longing and intuition, Rebe embarked on a 30-day DIY pilgrimage to Cuba to seek a different perspective on grief and connection. The conversation delves into how Rebe's background as a Latin dancer led her to discover the spiritual roots of Cuban dances and the traditions of honoring the deceased.  Rebe recounts her experiences immersing herself in rituals dedicated to the goddess Oshun, visiting the sanctuary of Cuba's patron saint, and meeting with a spiritist who she hoped would connect her with her mother.Rebe and I discuss the importance of intuition and following one's unique path, even when it doesn't seem logical. We also explore the disconnect in Western culture from ancestral connections, magic, and meaningful rituals, contrasting it with the Cuban traditions of keeping the dead close.The conversation touches on the challenges of staying creative and connected to one's inner voice in the face of overwhelming global issues and personal fears. Rebe shares her belief in creativity as a portal and emphasizes the importance of honouring inner longings and choosing to champion humanity. She also shares her personal rituals for grounding and connecting with her intuition and ancestors, offering practical advice for listeners seeking to do the same. Ultimately, Rebe's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the wisdom of intuition, and the potential for magic and miracle in our lives, even in the darkest of times.  

This episode is all about understanding the sacred space of the heart where our humanity shines in its most authentic form.Here are the reflective questions to process:What roles do you play in your life that allows for genuine connection with others? How can you bring more vulnerability and unity into your everyday relationships?Three things you'll learn today: 1. The Healing Power of Vulnerability:Pope Francis poignantly points out that hospitals often reveal the truest essence of who you are. When faced with illness or injury, you shed your facades and recognize your shared humanity. You learn that vulnerability can lead to healing—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.2. Unity in DiversityIn the reflective words, you witness the beauty of diversity coming together in seemingly impossible scenarios. Imagine a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor—a poignant reminder that love and care transcend our labels and biases. This inspires you to break down barriers in your own lives and advocate for unity across different backgrounds.3. The Impermanence of LifeYou are encouraged to focus on what truly matters in your limited time on this planet. You should embrace love over judgment, time spent with loved ones over unnecessary material pursuits, and moments of genuine connection over societal expectations.

"Upon hearing Paul Virostek's recording from the villages and communities living in the Angkor War temple complex I was immediately transported to my experiences of field recording in Indonesia. The bustling life around the sacred spaces is very similar and this inspired me to combine my recordings in Indonesia with Paul's recordings from Cambodia, a place I long to visit.  "Indonesia is a strong supporter of peace and stability in Cambodia and the two countries have close diplomatic relationships. Both countries value their cultural heritage through religion, dance and music and particularly their sacred spaces. Cambodia has Angkor Wat, while Indonesia treasures the Borobudur Temple and the Prambanan Temple Compounds. My composition aims to demonstrate the closeness of these two nearby countries. I used field recordings from Indonesia, and at home I recorded bells and a bird scarer automaton used in rice fields." Angkor Wat reimagined by Claire Pannell aka Furchick. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

Rabbi Dunner explores Thomas Jefferson's passion for architecture and how his iconic home, Monticello, reflects the ideals of design and purpose. Drawing a parallel to the Mishkan in Parshat Vayakhel, he shows how built spaces — whether Monticello, the Mishkan, or the Temple in Jerusalem — were crafted to elevate the human spirit and create a lasting connection to the divine.

In many cultures across the globe, food is closely intertwined with spirituality and religion. The Passover seder celebrates the exodus of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. The Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr marks the end of a month-long fast, with families gathering for a large celebratory meal. And the Christian gospels contain stories of Jesus breaking bread, multiplying loaves and fishes, and turning water into wine. On this week's show, we meditate on the elemental link between food and faith. We begin with Jody Eddy. The peripatetic author spent two years visiting monasteries, temples, and other spiritual communities – from Minnesota to Morocco, Ireland to Japan – discovering the rich culinary rituals of each group. She compiled her experiences in Elysian Kitchens: Recipes Inspired by the Traditions and Tastes of the World's Sacred Spaces, a fascinating cookbook full of traditional recipes and the stories of their spiritual roots. Then, the monks of the Drepung Gomang Monastery are back in New Orleans as part of their Sacred Arts Tour. The last time the Buddhist monks were in town, Louisiana Eats joined them in the kitchen as they prepared a traditional Tibetan meal. We give you a taste of that extraordinary evening. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

We are blessed to be a blessing. Pastor Jeremy Treat preaches a sermon from Genesis 12:1-3 on God's vision fro the connection between sacred space and his redeemed people.

Welcome to Day 2569 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2569– Old Testament Orientation – The Historical Books - Lessons from Israel's Journey – Joshua 24:22-24 Putnam Church Message – 02/16/2025 Sermon Series: Old Testament Orientation Message 6: The Historical Books – Lessons from Israel's Journey Last week, we continued our Old Testament Orientation series, exploring the Covenant, Law, Sacred Space, and Sacrifice from an ancient Israelite perspective. This week, we will focus on The Books of Historical Narrative and how the ancient Israelites experienced and would have understood them. Opening Prayer Heavenly Father, as we explore the historical books of Your Word, open our eyes to the lessons You have woven into these narratives. Help us see Your faithfulness, the consequences of disobedience, and the call to trust in You wholeheartedly. Let these ancient stories shape our present lives and lead us into a deeper relationship with You. In Jesus' name, Amen. Introduction Imagine standing on the plains of Moab, looking across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. The anticipation is palpable. The journey has been long and arduous, filled with moments of doubt and divine intervention. The generation before had faltered in faith, wandering for forty years. Now, a new generation is poised to claim the inheritance. The tension is thick with anticipation and uncertainty. What will the future hold? This is the reality for Israel as they step into the Promised Land. As the Israelites prepare to enter, they carry with them stories of faith, rebellion, conquest, and covenant. These narratives, captured in the Historical Books of the Old Testament, serve not only as a record of Israel's past but as a mirror reflecting the spiritual journey of every believer. The Historical Books—Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther—chronicle the journey of God's people from the conquest of Canaan to the return from exile and restoration of Jerusalem. Through their stories, we glean insights into God's character, human nature, and the principles that guide a life of faith. Main Points (Bulletin) God as Faithful Guide and Deliverer (Joshua) Introduction: Picture the scene as if you were an ancient Israelite: Imagine standing on the threshold of a new beginning. Their leader, Moses, had passed away, and now Joshua must lead. They have seen God's power before, but will He be faithful again? After wandering for 40 years, the Israelites stand at the brink of the Jordan River. The Promised Land lies ahead, a land flowing with milk and honey, yet occupied by formidable foes. Fear and uncertainty grip the hearts of many. It is in this moment that Joshua, their appointed leader, steps forward with a message of assurance. Joshua 1:13: “Remember what Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you: ‘The Lord your God is giving you a place of rest. He has given you this land.'” Narrative: The Book of Joshua recounts the Israelites' entry into Canaan under Joshua's leadership. God's faithfulness is evident as He delivers Jericho into their hands through miraculous means. Joshua leads the...

Welcome to Day 2564 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2564– Old Testament Orientation – Covenant, Law, Sacred Space, Sacrifice – Genesis 26:4-5 Putnam Church Message – 02/09/2025 Sermon Series: Old Testament Orientation Message 5: Covenant, Law, Sacred Space, Sacrifice Last week, we continued our Old Testament Orientation series with ‘The Books of the Pentateuch.' This week, we will expand on The Books of the Pentateuch and explore the Covenant, Law, Sacred Space, and Sacrifice from an ancient Israelite perspective and insights into the Divine Council Worldview. Opening Prayer Heavenly Father, we stand before You, seeking to understand Your Word as Your people did in ancient times. We desire to know You as the Israelites knew You—to understand the depth of Your covenant, the wisdom of Your law, the holiness of Your presence, and the meaning of sacrifice. Open our hearts to receive these truths and guide us in faithfulness, reverence, and worship. May our hearts be transformed as we journey through Your Word today. In Jesus' name, Amen. Introduction Imagine yourself as an Israelite living in the time of Moses. Your entire worldview is shaped by a relationship with Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God who brought your people out of Egypt with mighty signs and wonders. You are part of a chosen nation, set apart from the peoples around you. But what does that mean in daily life? It means you live by the covenant Yahweh made with your ancestors. It means you follow His laws, recognizing them as wisdom and guidance. It means you approach His sacred presence with reverence. And it means you worship through sacrifice, not because God needs it, but because it expresses your loyalty and gratitude. These four concepts—Covenant, Law, Sacred Space, and Sacrifice—defined life for an Israelite. Understanding them through their perspective will illuminate how they point forward to Christ and apply to us today. (Bulletin Insert) Covenant was the binding agreement (contract) between Yahweh and His people, requiring faithfulness and loyalty. Law provided the structure of Israelite society, shaping their ethics and worship. Sacred Space defined where Yahweh's presence>was>encountered/and how to approach Him. Sacrifice was the means by which purification and worship were carried out. Understanding these concepts through the eyes of an ancient Israelite will deepen our appreciation for God's redemptive plan, which ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.     Main Points Covenant: A Relationship of Loyalty Imagine you are sitting at the fire outside of your tent, listening to your grandfather tell the story of Abraham. His voice is filled with reverence as he recounts the moment when Yahweh spoke to our ancestor and made a covenant with him. “My children,” he says, “Yahweh took Abraham outside and said, ‘Look up at the stars. So shall your descendants be.'” He pauses and points to the night sky. “That is why we are here. That is why we
