In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, Yocheved enters the Three Weeks — the 21 days of bein hametzarim — through a surprising teaching from Rebbe Nachman that changes how you see this season entirely.
An egg gestates in 21 days. The luz bone — the indestructible bone at the base of the neck — shares this same time signature. And the Baal Shem Tov teaches that the 42 journeys of the desert correspond to the full arc of a human soul, from birth to eternal life. 42 is double 21. Which means grief, as real and sacred as it is, is only half the story.
Drawing on Parshat Matot-Masei and weaving in personal threads from her own process, Yocheved explores the vows we make — spoken and unspoken — during the in-between spaces of our lives. The stories we tell about our own formation. The ones that sustain us. And the ones that quietly constrain what’s trying to be born.
Something is forming in the dark right now. The question is: what story are you telling about it?

Deepen with Ohmek:
Ohmek is a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of being.
It is the space that holds all, yet remains empty, the void that allows healing and transformation to take place, take shape, belong, integrate and disperse.
It is an invitation inward, into a space and community, as well as one’s own inner world. A place to be stretched and to come together, to feel at home in exploration, with room to be and to breathe.
At our upstate retreat center and Brooklyn locations, in our sacred gatherings, healing containers and embodied mysticism classes, we invite you into spiritual experiences and sacred spaces that allow us — collectively and individually — to explore our own depths, underneath the underneath.
