The Defiant Spirit Podcast

Expand Your Soul: Open Up And Say Ya

If the greatest danger in life is to be reduced, reduced to a body, to our illness, to a number (as we explored in the last podcast) then the true liberation in life is to expand, expand our mind, our heart, our life and our spirit. This is the true meaning of God - to expand and when we live a life of expansion we live a life of divinity.

Defy Your Number

Defy Your Number: Weight, IQ, Salary, Age...
How did the Holocaust happen? It didn't happen all at once. it happened by reduction - reducing people's freedoms, reducing their identity, reducing them to numbers and ultimately to ashes . The same is what happens in our life when we face life's darkness and nothing is darker than when we are reduced to numbers. Whether it's your weight, age, salary, IQ... you are here to defy your numbers and you do this through the defiant power of your spirit.

Live Your Why

In this episode of The Defiant Spirit, Rabbi B explore the power of "why," which Dr. Viktor Frankl attributes to his survival in the Holocaust. In the words of Fredrich Nietzsche, "he who has a why can endure any how." Discover Rabb B's why behind this podcast, why he created the Defiant Spirit and why knowing your why will help you endure any and every how.

What Is The Defiant Spirit

"The Defiant Spirit" is Rabbi Dr. Baruch HaLevi's "Rabbi B's" new podcast synthesizing the foundational ideas of both logotherapy and the life and legacy of Dr. Viktor Frankl,  with Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical blueprint of existence and roadmap for the soul. In this first podcast he will be exploring some of the foundational principles of Dr. Frankl's message of meaning, hope and inspiration and some fundamental, kabbalistic ideas. No matter what you are facing or enduring you have within you the defiant power of your spirit. It's time to awaken it, live it and illuminate a darkened world.
