Episode 5: The Kylie Is in the Field

The Jewish month of Elul is about getting your soul right. After spending a week with prayer, Kylie started this week learning about hitbodedut, where you seclude yourself, usually outdoors, and talk to God directly.

Rather than working with a guest, she’s taking the premise that “the King is in the field” to heart, and she’s going out to meet him.

Will she find herself, her soul, and a new practice?

In this 10-part podcast, Kylie Unell, a doctoral student in Jewish thought, a thinking Jew, and a perpetually wondering person, will try anything, from doubling down on prayer to the Hasidic practice of hitbodedut, to try and fix her soul, and help you fix yours. Join her and a crew of unexpected and wise guides on this journey, a one-month journey to figuring out the hardest bits about being human.
