Description

Rivka and Samuel were two of the Israelites who left Egypt after being freed from bondage, and because they grew up as slaves, they only knew how to look down. Many of the slaves who left Egypt looked up in wonder during their journey, but not Rivka and Samuel. Do they ever learn to look up, or do they continue on, missing miracles? Cantor Rosalie Boxt retells the classic story. You can find a written version of the story in [italics: Capturing the Moon - Classic and Modern Jewish Tales] retold by Rabbi Edward M. Feinstein.

Whether you listen while driving to work, preparing Shabbat dinner, or taking your kids to school, each episode will give you a new story to reflect on and discuss with the people in your life.
