Rebbetzin Sara Yocheved Rigler spent 15 years living in an ashram. She meditated three times a day, taught Vedanta & Hindu philosophy, and served as personal secretary to the guru. She went east searching for God.

Then one conversation with an Orthodox rabbi turned her whole world upside down. 8 months later, she was studying Torah in Jerusalem.

Today she is one of the most widely read Jewish authors alive and a world class Torah teacher. We spoke about those 15 years in the ashram, a life altering (and reincarnation) experience around her fear of having children, and what she found in Judaism that 15 years of Eastern spirituality never gave her.

Lchaim.

This summer, Rabbi Yehoshua & Hadassa Zweig faced an unimaginable tragedy. After a terrible accident on Lake Michigan, their daughter Chana Malka and son Yosef both fought for their lives, but tragically, neither survived. R’ Yehoshua shares their story and somehow finds the strength to speak about grief, faith, who his children were, and the lessons they left behind.
