Spill the P: 5787 Bereishit
It’s been one year since we started Spill the P, and we’re celebrating by returning to Bereishit. We’re talking about darkness that isn’t explicitly called bad, a day of separation that isn’t called good, two great lights with very different jobs, and a garden full of abundance where somehow the...

Spill The P: 5786 Re'eh

Spill The P: 5786 Eikev
This week on Spill the P, we are diving into Parashat Eikev—and beginning with one word that completely changes how many people understand their relationship with the Creator: reward. The Hebrew does not say that we receive a reward for listening. It says that because we listen, safeguard, and…

What do Moshe’s unanswered prayer, the Aseret HaDibrot, mistranslated Hebrew, spiritual intermediaries, sinat chinam, and performative religion all have in common? Apparently, Parsha Va’etchanan. This week, on Spill the P, we unpack why Moshe begins by saying, “I implored Hashem,” why Bnei…

Spill The P: 5786 Pinchas
This week’s parshah isn’t comfortable. It begins with a killing, moves through thousands of names, rewrites inheritance law because five women ask respectfully, appoints a new leader, and ends with pages of repetitive offerings. It sounds disconnected. It isn’t. This week on Spill the P, we…

Spill The P: 5786 Korach
Korach didn’t just speak—he moved with intention. And that intention? It came from lack. This week on Spill the P, we’re unpacking what it really means to take versus receive, and why that one distinction changes everything. Moshe stays in his lane, stays connected, and lets the Creator handle…

In this episode of Spill the P, we understand that Parsha Behar isn’t just about land—it’s about alignment. We’re shown cycles of rest and reset, but more importantly, we’re shown what happens when we interfere too much. Over-pruning. Overcorrecting. Trying to control growth instead of allowing…

Spill the P: 5786 Acharei
Acharei forces one question: Are you actually living in truth—or just pretending to look like you are? You can wear the clothes. Say the right things. Look spiritual. But what you give—your words, your actions, your energy—is what defines you. We get into misalignment, accountability, lashon…
