It’s finally time to understand yourself–and everyone around you. Sod Ha’adam begins next week! Register here.
A couple of years ago, I stood at the bus stop every single morning, listening to my neighbors discuss Sod Ha’adam. Even though I couldn’t follow along, it was enough to intrigue me and seriously consider whether I should take the course when sign-up time came the following year.
It’s not like I didn’t know about Sod Ha’adam before. We’ve advertised it before here on Between Carpools–and I’ve even written about it, interviewing women who had taken the course and who deemed it life-changing.
But I had never been motivated to jump in.
Last year, I felt it was the time.
But still–it was so not my type. I like practical things. Great tips, tools, hacks, information and knowledge that’s clear and easy to explain. This sounded so different. More conceptual, emotional, deep. I knew I was missing out on something big–like there was this big gap in my knowledge that I wouldn’t be able to fill elsewhere–but I couldn’t yet get a grasp on what it actually was.
I called one friend. She explained how it changed her life. How it was ground-breaking for her in so many ways. How it made her understand her family members–and even herself–in a different way. Other friends expressed themselves similarly.
But I was still skeptical. I still didn’t grasp what it was about. So I called a different friend, the type who I knew to be pragmatic.
And she was the one who ultimately made me decide on “Yes.”
“You should take it now because you’re going to have FOMO until you do. So if this is the year where it works for you time-wise, take advantage,” she said.
She was right. I was going to eventually do it, because I would not be able to stand being in the dark about Sod Ha’adam for the rest of my life. So I may as well now.
And, as she said, it was the year that worked well for me because I had plenty of carpools (and there’s plenty of car time before anyone is in the car).
Over the year, I got used to having Rebbetzin Tukachinsky’s voice for company with me in the car. Every time I would drive, I would call in and press # and 0 to go to my bookmark. Whether or not a particular lesson was relevant to my life, I found it fascinating and enjoyed listening to her. There were plenty of moments when I felt the content zoomed right into my life. And even when it wasn’t, each lesson and story still had my attention.
I even loved the Q&A. I don’t usually like other people’s questions. That’s usually the part of the shiur when I leave. But the way Rebbetzin Tukachinsky responds always made it relevant for everyone.
I have an understanding now that I probably would not have come to anywhere else. I personally implemented small tweaks in my life as a result of the lessons- and know that the things that seem small now are huge in the long run.
Each person will take out something different. There’s so much in there.
This winter, I’m going to be continuing Sod Ha’adam by taking the Expansion Course. I’m looking forward.
Begin with the Foundation Course. You can listen to either the live or the recorded class, so it works with every schedule! Learn more and register here!
