When the Shadow Meets Grace: Advaita and Kabbalah in Dialogue
Episode 9
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
In this episode, Vedic wisdom meets the depths of Jewish mysticism as host Acharya Shunya sit sin dialogue with Rabbi Matthew Ponak. Together, they explore how the shadow is not something to be conquered but met with divine intelligence, how ancient traditions guide us when the self feels fragmented, and how grace arrives when effort alone falls short. Drawing from Advaita and embodied Kabbalah, this conversation moves beyond theory into lived experience, revealing how sacred lineages across cultures point toward the same inner rescue: remembrance, humility, and the quiet help that comes when we stop pretending we can do it alone. Rabbi Matthew Ponak is a teacher of Jewish mysticism and spiritual counselor, ordained with honors from Hebrew College's neo-Hasidic rabbinical school and author of Embodied Kabbalah.
