Hope

Hope can be defined as a belief that Goodness will ultimately triumph no matter what setbacks evil has created. It is a faith that love and compassion are more powerful than fear and hatred.

Hope is predicated on the power of the Kingdom of Heaven. Omnipotence and goodness are the essential qualities of this kingdom. When we turn towards God in aspiration, we link up with the forces of light that live on the higher planes. This inner connection permits their strength and will to enter into our world. Once this door is opened, everything is possible.

About the Podcast

Daat Elyon
Spiritual insights and inspiration from the Kabbalah and other mystical traditions
Join me, Rav Yoel Glick, as we explore crucial themes of the spiritual life. Together we will attempt to find answers to the great questions of existence using the Jewish mystical teachings of the Kabbalah and Hasidism, as well as insights and inspiration gleaned from the other great Western and Eastern traditions. The emphasis in these podcasts will be on wisdom that comes from inner experience and intense practice, rather than abstract intellectual concepts and philosophy. My podcast goal is to stimulate your mind, expand your consciousness, and open up new worlds of thought and experience for both you and me.

Theme music by Shachar Halevi.
