Elul’s Heart of Knowing — Ki Tavo and the Nuance of Return
Manage episode 505427002 series 3579122
In this session, we entered Elul through the lens of Parshat Ki Tavo and Moshe’s words: “God did not give you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear until this day.” Together, we explored the shift from Sinai’s black-and-white revelation to the subtle, nuanced knowledge that lives in the heart — Lev La’daat. Drawing on the Sfat Emet, we traced how true knowing is not a peak moment of clarity, but the slow integration that allows us to discern gradations, paradox, and presence in everyday life.
We reflected on Elul as feminine time — discerning, subtle, womb-like in its capacity to hold shades of experience — and considered what it means to return with compassion rather than critique. The class invited us to notice what has landed in our hearts this year, what still feels blocked, and how God meets us even in the defended, imperfect places.

Deepen with Ohmek:
Ohmek is a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of being.
It is the space that holds all, yet remains empty, the void that allows healing and transformation to take place, take shape, belong, integrate and disperse.
It is an invitation inward, into a space and community, as well as one’s own inner world. A place to be stretched and to come together, to feel at home in exploration, with room to be and to breathe.
At our upstate retreat center and Brooklyn locations, in our sacred gatherings, healing containers and embodied mysticism classes, we invite you into spiritual experiences and sacred spaces that allow us — collectively and individually — to explore our own depths, underneath the underneath.
