Born and raised in Miami, Rav Eliyahu moved to Israel at 17 and eventually made his home in Tzfat. Always proud of being Jewish but not always religious, he shares how his journey led him into Torah, Chassidut, and guiding others toward a deeper connection with Hashem. From there we dive into themes that couldn\u2019t be more timely as we approach Rosh Hashana: \ud83d\udd0d Highlights from this episode Democracy vs. the Kingdom of Hashem \u2014 and what that means for Mashiach and Gog U\u2019Magog Should we ask Hashem for things on Rosh Hashana, or just crown Him as King? Hisbodedut: pouring out your heart until you completely nullify your will before Hashem Talking to Hashem like your best friend \u2014 and guaranteed answers even without words Teshuva: why Hashem loves the effort itself Why Rosh Hashana is in Tishrei and not in Nisan Covenant vs. relationship: keeping our contract with Hashem versus building closeness with Him Along the way, I also share about an inspiring new book: \ud83d\udcd6 The Extraordinary Life of Rabbi Ronnie Greenwald \ud83c\udfa5 Watch the full video on YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@tanachandtea \ud83c\udfa7 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts: https:\/\/linktr.ee\/tanachandtea \ud83d\udc64 Connect with Rav Eliyahu: Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eliyahupereira\/ \ud83d\udcf1 Follow Tanach & Tea on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tanachandtea\/ \ud83d\udce9 Want to sponsor an episode?
