Interesting interview and Eli was amazing as always (sorry for the compliment. you can shake it off later!) In response to her comment about Shabbos compared to a sanctuary; I was surprised that Eli didnt explain the basic Torah concept that the holiness of Shabbos is in fact a manifestation in time of what the Beis HaMikdash was and will be in space. This is where hilchos Shabbos comes from.

Why give voice to someone who doesnt even listen to true media about Gazans who joined Chamas in kidnapping Jews on October 7th? If she was around during WW2, what would she say about all the innocent Germans who were bombed and killed?

Amen.

This episode wasn’t my favorite…guest seems to be contradicting her statements in several occasions during this interview, making me doubt any statement that she refers to as research. I also don’t really understand the point of bringing her personal political opinions into a conversation about trauma and psychedelics.
