Perfect Body! A Torah Portion Afterthought
Perfect Body podcast is an afterthought on the weekly Torah portions. The Torah is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Take time this year to read the Torah and be refreshed in your body, mind, and spirit. I tell the story of a portion of the portion breaking it down into bite size pieces that you can swallow so that you can eat and be full but not too full. Save room for your personal self-discovery as you engage in Torah study. Subscribe to this show to receive a new show every week. Visit http://www.shirahchante.com/podcast for more inspiration.

Pekudei: Blessing for Obedience
Perfect Body and the Spirit of Obedience
In this episode of the Perfect Body Podcast, we explore the concept of having a perfect body as a metaphor for being united in Christ. We dive into the Torah portion Pekudei, which marks the completion of the Tabernacle and discusses the essential blessings that follow obedience to God. Shirah Chante shares personal experiences and reflections on adding new worship routines, the significance of the priestly garments in Exodus, and the constant presence of God among the Israelites. Highlighting the crucial importance of obedience, we also delve into the story of King Saul and the loss of his kingdom due to disobedience. Join Shirah Chante as she prays for a spirit of obedience and discusses the immeasurable blessings that come from following God's commands.
