Your Father's Chair (Achrei Mot/Kedoshim) | Land of Israel Fellowship

In this episode of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the powerful spiritual journey between Achrei Mot and Kedoshim, two Torah portions that challenge us to confront who we are and who we’re meant to become. Recorded during the days of the Counting of the Omer, this conversation weaves together personal stories, ancient wisdom, and present-day life in Israel. Ari shares a simple yet profound parenting moment that opens the door to a much deeper discussion: how boundaries, reverence, and trust shape not only our families but our relationship with God. Together, we explore: The deeper meaning of the scapegoat (Azazel) and spiritual release Why true growth requires both honesty and letting go What it means to “be holy” in everyday life (Kedoshim Tihyu) How to move from spiritual freedom to spiritual responsibility Letting go of resentment and learning to love others fullyTrusting God’s plan even when life doesn’t make sense Set against the backdrop of modern-day Israel, this episode also reflects on faith during uncertain times, the nearness of redemption, and how to prepare ourselves spiritually for Shavuot, the re-receiving of the Torah. Whether you’re on a spiritual journey, exploring the Bible more deeply, or seeking meaning in today’s complex world, this conversation offers clarity, strength, and inspiration.
