Welcome to a brand new month! In this special Rosh Chodesh series Podcast, host Aura Rosenblatt sits down with the profound Chana Kalmenson: poet, teacher of Jewish mysticism, and shlucha of Chabad of Belgravia in London. Together, they explore the deep emotional and kabbalistic energies of Rosh Chodesh Av.

As we step into the Hebrew month of Av, a time historically associated with collective mourning, destruction, and the breaking of vessels, Chana guides us through the spiritual work of holding paradox. How do we find ultimate comfort (Menachem Av) amidst the darkness? How do we practice self-compassion as the antidote to shame when we feel broken?

If you are seeking grounded inspiration, soulful conversation, and a practical map of your inner life, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
