This week on Torah Anytime Lessons, Josh Cohen and Avi Greenberg unpack a class that shook them to the core. Rabbi YY Jacobson takes the tragic tale of Elisha Ben Avuya—Acker, the Torah scholar turned heretic—and flips the script on what it means to truly return. What if the gate to Tshuva was never closed… just perceived that way?
From a misheard heavenly voice to 2,000-year-old date seeds sprouting in modern Israel, this episode weaves Kabbalah, history, and personal growth into a message that hits deep. Are we really outsiders—or just convinced we are?
