Pekudei Means Taking Inventory
from 2 Paleys on a Pod Hosted by Rabbi Michael and Briyah Paley
I'll be honest, I really wasn't feeling it this week. I nearly skipped it. But this Podcast is a practice for me in showing up and doing the thing even when you don't want to. This episode gets raw and emotional at times, which I know listeners have come to expect. I've read reviews that mention how narcissistic I am, how mean I am to my father, and how my siblings are right to stay away from me. Thanks! Seriously, thank you. It's refreshing to know that people are listening to me and having a reaction. I have never been a people pleaser. I am true to myself and I, like all of us, am flawed. I do answer to Hashem and I feel held in that connection, regardless of what others say about me. This episode is called Pekudei, which means accounting. No, not like tax season exactly, but more of an inventory. This is the end of Exodus. So, how did we do? What did we learn? Where do we go from here? Did we try our best? Did things get messy? Did we play it safe? Did we hurt others with our actions and words? If we did, we can acknowledge it and move forward. That is what I am doing here. Sharing my process with all of you. It is real and honest and unfiltered and at times I expect it to make you CRINGE. Life is a bit cringe, isn't it? Do we always get what we want? No. But...holy crap, we are ALIVE. Thanks for spending time with me on here. Whether you love me, hate me, or love to hate me, I am grateful for the opportunity to share. If you feel moved, please leave a review. Any kind of review you'd like! --Briyah
