Thoreau, the Baal Shem Tov and Yaakov Avinu

In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long wraps up his trip to Israel before heading back to Arkansas with the story of his trip to Amman, Jordan - but wait for the surprise ending! Our hosts ponder the meaning of the sages' enigmatic expression, reflecting vast theological truths, that 'G-d is the place of the world, but the world is not His place.' What does that mean? Rabbi Richman pulls it all together with an unexpected connection between a story told about the holy Baal Shem Tov, and the celebrated American philosopher and poet, Henry David Thoreau. Lots of surprises in this week's episode!
