Dive into a captivating exploration of the profound interplay between fear and wonder in the realm of faith in this episode. Drawing from personal stories and biblical narratives, we unpack the meaning of Yirah, a Hebrew word that translates to a unique blend of awe and fear in respect to the divine. As we share experiences of standing at the edge of mountains and experiencing the unrivaled vastness of the ocean, we awaken to the idea that encountering God invites both reverence and thrill.
