Shais Taub: A Vulnerable Conversation About Shame, Selfhood, and Authenticity [Mysticism III 3/3]

Check out our new series in partnership with SHARE, 18 Questions, 40 Jewish Mystics.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast—created in collaboration with Amudim—we speak with Shais Taub, the rabbi behind the organization SoulWords, about shame, selfhood, and authenticity.

In this episode we discuss:
  • How are we to deal with the pain of embodiment and individuation?
  • How does one uncover their mission in the world and align their life with the transcendent?
  • How can we work to reorient our desires toward the right things?
Tune in to hear a conversation about the interior experience of fragmentation from Ultimate Being.

Interview begins at 10:28.

Rabbi Shais Taub is a well-known figure in Jewish teachings and personal development and delivers Torah lectures and classes worldwide. He is renowned for his ability to make complex ideas accessible. He heads SoulWords.org and serves as scholar-in-residence at Chabad of the Five Towns in Long Island, New York.
