This journey inspires us, individually and as a community, to better ourselves and gain a fuller understanding of our faith.Through Sacred Time, we honour the cycle of the calendar, letting the months themselves act as teachers and shape our discussions. The Kabbalistic symbols associated with each month will the rich and thoughtful discussions we’ll have during each episode.Sacred Time is for listeners at all points in the faith journey — in fact, you don’t even need to be Jewish.
