Ep. 237 - Balak with Eliana Light

<p>While we may need to [legally] acknowledge that Parashat Balak is NOT the same as the Shrek trilogy, we are grateful to have Eliana Light, songleader and prayerground phenomenon helping us find the Jewish joy in this week’s episode. Whether talking about the magic behind Mah Tovu or how we might protest against a prayer practice that is a struggle for us, both Eliana Light and Q&amp;A guest Becky Mann bring forward the idea that music in itself is magical and that we have a lot to look forward to when we’re able to draw a line between liturgy and t’filah.</p> <p>References:<br> God is Not One (by Stephen Prothero): <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRZP82U/">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRZP82U/</a><br> Mi Yodea (by Isaac Sonett-Assor &amp; Becky Mann): <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/4517244893672?fs=e&amp;s=cl" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/isaac.sonett.assor/videos/4517244893672</a></p> <p>To continue the conversation:<br> Eliana’s Website: <a href="https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Felianalight.com%2F&amp;h=AT0X9Q_cLT9DMjQG3aLNIl_2Hn77ISTGtGvXk_6v7rUHFBAMCAZ88Lcmv0UPsJpcthqC2LHeG3lxTF0gY1N5ZOafjIv5SL4SYz4WpNV5kxzYs0iFnZJAUyZAnVs7xS6pylc8cJrR3FrkxXs70FnBdXfn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://elianalight.com</a><br> Eliana’s Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/ElianaLight" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Eliana Light</a><br> The Light Lab Podcast: <a href="https://elianalight.com/podcast" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://elianalight.com/podcast</a><br> The Light Lab’s Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thelightlab-100317682611886" target="_blank">thelight.lab</a><br> The Light Lab’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thelight.lab/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@thelight.lab</a><br> Becky’s Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/becky.mann.16" target="_blank">Becky Mann</a><br> Becky’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/torahtheexplorah/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@toraht
