Becoming Israel

by Hector Brito & Destin Scott

Becoming Israel: Learning, believing, and living in the Truth to become more than we ever imagined. Join Hector Brito and Destin Scott on a transformative journey through the timeless wisdom of the Torah, illuminated by the lens of modern psychology. Each week, we dive deep into the current Parashah, the weekly Torah portion, unveiling its hidden layers and profound relevance to our modern lives. Our unique approach integrates esoteric Judeo-Christian insights with Neo-Jungian depth psychology, offering listeners a rich tapestry of wisdom to navigate their personal and collective journeys. Why "Becoming Israel"? Jacob - in order to become Israel, wrestled with the Angel of the LORD and succeeded; but with an injured hip that gave him a limp. Our podcast aims to help you grapple with substantial elements of faith and psychology - so you can earn your limp. We don't brag about the injury, but we are grateful of our continuing transformation no ma

Episodes

  1. 5: "Chayei Sarah" – Legacy and Lineage

    Genesis 23:1–25:18 Sarah’s death marks the transition from promise to inheritance. Abraham secures land and lineage, commissioning his servant to find Isaac’s bride. Rebekah’s willing response continues the covenantal flow. Chayei Sarah reminds us that faith’s true measure is not in vision but in...

  2. 4: "Vayeira" – Fire, Faith, and Friendship

    Genesis 18:1–22:24 God appears to Abraham as both guest and judge. Mercy and justice intertwine as Sodom burns and Isaac is offered. Vayeira is the portion of divine paradox: hospitality meets holiness; promise meets pain. Abraham’s willingness to surrender the very promise itself becomes the...

  3. 3: "Lech-Lecha" – The Call to Become

    Genesis 12:1–17:27 God calls Abram to leave the familiar and walk into promise. This journey from land to legacy births the template of faith: obedience before evidence. Covenantal identity replaces tribal survival. Lech-Lecha reveals that destiny unfolds through separation—out of the known, into...

  4. 2: “Noach” – The Reset of Creation

    Genesis 6:9–11:32 In a world consumed by corruption, one man becomes the vessel of renewal. Noah’s ark prefigures salvation through obedience amid judgment. The flood reboots creation, yet Babel soon rebuilds rebellion—humanity’s unity without holiness. Noach exposes the tension between...

  5. 1: “Bereshit” – The Blueprint of Order

    Bereshit (Genesis 1:1–6:8) Creation is not random—it’s patterned revelation. God orders chaos through separation, forming a world sustained by distinction and meaning. Humanity, the divine image, fractures that order through rebellion, birthing decay. Yet even as creation groans, the hidden seed…

  6. 53: "Ha’Azinu" – The Song of Witness

    Deuteronomy 32:1–52 Moses delivers a poetic song recounting God’s faithfulness, Israel’s unfaithfulness, and the certainty of justice and restoration. This prophetic song serves as a witness to future generations. Ha’Azinu reminds us that history, covenant, and destiny are all bound in God’s...

  7. 52: "Vayelech" – Passing the Torch

    Deuteronomy 31:1–30 Moses, now 120 years old, prepares to hand leadership over to Joshua. He writes the Torah, gives it to the priests, and commands that it be read every seven years at Sukkot. *Vayelech* teaches that leadership is temporary, but God’s Word and presence remain forever. Hosted on...

  8. 51: "Nitzavim" - Standing Together in Covenant

    Deuteronomy 29:9–30:20 (Devarim 29:10–30:20) All of Israel—leaders, children, foreigners—stand before God to renew the covenant. Moses calls heaven and earth as witnesses, setting before them life and death, blessing and curse. *Nitzavim* makes it plain: choosing life means loving God, obeying…

    more

  9. 50: The Land & Gods Earth

    Deuteronomy 26:1–29:8 (Devarim 26:1–29:9) Moses instructs the people on bringing firstfruits, reciting the history of God’s deliverance, and reaffirming the covenant through blessings and curses on Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal. *Ki Tavo* drives home that covenant renewal is not just ritual—it’s a...

  10. 49: "Ki Teitzei" – Laws of the Camp

    Deuteronomy 21:10–25:19 Covering a wide range of laws—from family relationships to business ethics to compassion for the vulnerable—this portion shows how holiness applies to every corner of life. *Ki Teitzei* teaches that God’s covenant shapes not only worship, but also daily conduct, community...

  11. 48.1 BONUS the parasitic Warrior

    Destin and Hector reference stories like Marvels' the Black Panther to illustrate the perspective of the inflated Warrior and what other ways there are to become a Tyrant (possessed by the archetype of the Sovereign in a way that's completely out of control). For more on Archetypes, tap here for...

  12. 48: "Shoftim" – Judges, Kings, Priests & Prophets

    Deuteronomy 16:18–21:9 Moses sets laws for judges, kings, priests, and prophets, establishing the structures for justice in the land. This portion calls for impartiality, integrity, and alignment with God’s ways. *Shoftim* reminds us that righteous means merciful and abundant; and that righteous...

  13. 47: "Re’eh" – Do you see what I Sea?

    Deuteronomy 11:26–16:17 “See, I set before you today a blessing and a curse.” Moses lays out the choice between life in God’s blessing or life outside His will. Instructions for worship, clean and unclean foods, tithes, and the pilgrimage festivals emphasize that covenant living is not...

  14. 40 - 202: Meaning of Mem and touching Parashat "Balak"

    BONUS FOR DESTINS 28th BIRTHDAY For episode 40 - we focus on the meaning of Mem and Destin as the host of the "Signature of Mem" energy. We expand on identity, as well as beginning the corresponding Torah portion of Balak (to be continued next week). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for…

    more

  15. 39: "Chukat" - The Mystery of Obedience

    Numbers 19:1–22:1 This portion begins with the red heifer—a ritual that cleanses the impure but renders the clean impure—a paradox that reminds us not all divine instruction is fully understood. Tragedy follows: Miriam dies, Moses strikes the rock in frustration, and Aaron passes away. *Chukat*...

  16. 38: "Korach" - The Danger of False Equality

    Numbers 16:1–18:32 Korach leads a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, claiming that “all the people are holy.” But his desire for power disguises itself as spiritual fairness. God’s dramatic response reaffirms the sacredness of divinely appointed roles. *Korach* is a warning: true leadership isn’t...

  17. 37: "Shelach Lekha" - When Vision Fails

    Numbers 13:1–15:41 Twelve spies are sent to scout the Promised Land—but only two return with faith. The rest spread fear, leading the people to rebel and forfeit their chance to enter. This portion marks a tragic turning point: the generation that left Egypt will now die in the wilderness. Yet…

    more

  18. 36: "Beha-alotkha" - Between Fire and Complaint

    Numbers 8:1–12:16 The menorah is lit, the Levites are purified, and Israel prepares to move. But with movement comes tension. The people complain, Moses burns out, and leadership is tested. Yet even here, God provides order—through the cloud, the trumpets, and wise delegation. This portion…

    more

  19. 35: "Naso" - Lifting Up and Setting Apart

    Numbers 4:21–7:89 This expansive portion continues the duties of the Levites and moves into personal holiness—covering the Nazirite vow, the priestly blessing, and the offerings of each tribal leader. Whether it’s carrying sacred objects, living a life of voluntary separation, or simply blessing...

  20. Organizing the Holy Camp: 5785

    Numbers 1:1 – 4:20 God commands Moses to take a census of all the Israelite men able to go to war—revealing both the military strength and tribal order of the nation. Each tribe is numbered and positioned around the Tabernacle in a precise formation, turning the camp into a mobile reflection of...

  21. Priestly Duties: 5785

    Leviticus 16, 17 & 18 These chapters define the heart (Lev) of priestly responsibility: maintaining holiness through atonement, sacrifice, and moral boundaries. Leviticus 16 outlines the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)—the holiest day in Israel’s calendar. The high priest enters the Most Holy Place...

  22. Handling Contamination: 5785

    Handling Contamination Leviticus 14 & 15 - These chapters detail ancient Israel’s rituals for cleansing skin diseases (like leprosy), mildew in homes, and bodily discharges. - Priests play a key role in diagnosing, cleansing, and declaring individuals or spaces as clean. The process involves...
