Sowing Tears and Reaping Joy

In this week's episode of the Jewish Geography podcast I discuss some of the difficulties I had around Yom Kippur this year, talk about what purpose sacrificing comfort can serve in our relationship with God and, ultimately, how we can take those lessons and serve God with joy during Sukkot. The title is a reference to a line in Psalms (126:5), "They who sow in tears shall reap with songs of joy." If you’re interested in supporting the show please follow this link to Patreon and donate.
