There's something _ about _ this phenomenon _ of [A#] embodiment, [N] _
_ _ _ of being in a body, _ of coming
from the earth, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and of having our heads in the heavens. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Serving God and taking care of our physical being and being a part of the natural world
are all part of one fabric.
We've been eating this all winter long.
It's so abundant through the winter.
It's better
than buying spinach in the store or kale, all those things.
A lot of Israelis know this.
During the siege of Jerusalem in 1948, they gathered this to
eat. _
But we can eat it every day, in good times. _ _ _
_ This Jewish life that we're living and that we're trying to [F#] embrace more and more, it's
right there in the siddur.

_ _ The exile of the Jewish spirit was not just the exile of the Jewish people from our homeland.
It was the exile of the Jewish _ body _ from _ the Jewish soul.
_ And for me, that's part of our return to this land.
It's not just a return to the land.
It's a return to physicality.
It's a return to embodiment as really the deepest mode of
_ _ spiritual connection.
To me, that's very much a part of what this _ _ adventure of living in Israel is about. _ _ _ _ _
My first experience of Bada'in, the cab dropped us off and I went to Daven Ma'arif.
_ And I just felt the _ _ depth of the tfilot here.
It was so [G] special.
Everyone was singing and [G#] dancing around the circle.
_ _ I'd never seen this before. _
And I said, wow, this feels like home to me. _
_ This feels like home.
And then over the course of the week that we spent here, we just made lots of friends
[N] _
_ and decided this was it.
So we got back to Chicago and put our house on the market.
We just said we're committed.
We're doing it.
Here we go. _
Ready or not.
Let's do it. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Most special things about Bada'in.
One element is the prayer element here.
The depth of prayer that you experience here.
It's not a seriousness that's like a heavy
seriousness.
It's like an awareness of just the impact that prayers has.
And then the second element is the depth of Torah learning here.
You know, there's a Jew. _
Learning Torah is meant to be a part and parcel of our daily
life and part of our _ lifeblood. _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
But then there's something going on beyond that. _ _
_ _ There's [G] a very special [E] Jewish narrative that's unfolding that I'm living.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ There's a bigger purpose to it.
_ And I may not get the whole picture of this and why
I'm having to go through what I'm going through right now, but there is a [F#] bigger context to it.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ What I'm doing here is I'm bringing the [D#] world to life. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm dedicated to that. _
[G#] Not because I'm just having a good time [C#] doing this, but I'm [N] dedicated to this because I
feel like _ I'm doing this not just on behalf of myself and my family.
I'm doing this on
behalf of all the Jewish people and all the people in the world. _ _ _ _
