What does it really mean to “get high”? In this episode of Toward a Meaningful Life Podcast, hosts David Cohen and Levi Goldstein unpack Rabbi Simon Jacobson’s powerful class, Getting High the Holy Way. Together, they explore the mystical rhythm of ratzo v’shov — running and returning — the Kabbalistic pulse that keeps your soul alive and balanced.

Discover why our yearning for transcendence is natural, how to channel it without losing touch with reality, and how to live with both fire and focus. From Ezekiel’s prophetic vision to the flame of your own soul, this conversation will inspire you to climb higher — one grounded step at a time.
