The Shape of Comfort: On Suffering, Space, and What Widens the Soul
Manage episode 498538134 series 3579122
In this week’s episode of Underneath the Underneath on Parshat Vaetchanan, we step into the space after Tisha B’Av—the aftermath of grief—and ask: What is comfort, really?
We meet Moshe on the mountain, retelling his impassioned prayer and God’s response: Rav lach—“enough.” Through this sacred moment, we explore three layers of prayer, Rav Kook’s radical view of suffering, and how real comfort doesn’t come from fixing pain but from having enough space to hold it. We explore the difference between collapse and widening, between resisting life and bowing before mystery.
This episode weaves together Kabbalah, trauma healing, and the tender terrain of mature prayer—where even a Divine “No” becomes a sacred space for co-creation. For anyone navigating longing, disappointment, or the ache for more, this class offers a map for sacred spaciousness.

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.
