Achrei Mot-Kedoshim: The Grief, the Goat, and the Paradox of Holiness

In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, Yocheved enters the double parsha of Achrei Mot-Kedoshim with two words that stop everything: after the death.We are all living in some version of achrei mot right now. And the Torah, rather than rushing past the grief, drops us right into it — and then asks a surprising question: what does holiness actually require of us?Drawing on the Yom Kippur service, a strange and ancient ritual involving two goats, and the deceptively mundane commandments of Kedoshim, this episode traces a path through grief, bitul, and the paradox of what it means to be holy in a world that keeps asking you to show up.Some work only you can do. And some you were never meant to carry alone.Ohmek Session dated April 21, 2026__________More on Yocheved Sidof:Yocheved Sidof is a mystic, teacher, trauma-informed spiritual guide and leader of Ohmek, a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of Being.__________Deepen with Ohmek:Ohmek is a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of being.It is the space that holds all, yet remains empty, the void that allows healing and transformation to take place, take shape, belong, integrate and disperse.It is an invitation inward, into a space and community, as well as one’s own inner world. A place to be stretched and to come together, to feel at home in exploration, with room to be and to breathe.At our upstate retreat center and Brooklyn locations, in our sacred gatherings, healing containers and embodied mysticism classes, we invite you into spiritual experiences and sacred spaces that allow us — collectively and individually — to explore our own depths, underneath the underneath.Website: www.ohmekliving.comInstagram: @ohmek.livingTo support these sessions and our offerings, strengthen our community, and enhance your engagement we welcome you to join MAAGAL, our founding membership circlehttps://www.patreon.com/ohmek/membership
