What the Moon Can Teach Us About Faith!

What if the next time you faced a challenge, you tried looking up at the moon for encouragement? That might seem a bit strange. But in today’s episode, host Yael Eckstein tells us about the biblical holiday of Rosh Chodesh, the New Moon, that signals the start of each month, and what it can teach us about having faith. In Jewish tradition, the moon is a symbol of faith because it is literally a light in the darkness. And even though there are times of the month when we can’t see the moon, it is always there! Could there be a better symbol for trusting God and having hope in dark times? In this fascinating episode, Yael turns to the Book of Exodus to explain the origin of this holiday, how the Israelite women were connected to this special holiday, and the inspirational message this has for us today.
