This week’s Underneath the Underneath is a quiet, tender holding of a charged moment.
As Chanukah begins — a festival devoted to light made public — we sit inside Parashat Miketz, where Yosef emerges from prison into power, visibility, and recognition… while still hidden in plain sight.
In the wake of the terror attack at Bondi Beach, this class does not rush toward meaning or resolution. Instead, it asks a deeper question:
What does it cost to be visible?
Through Yosef’s story, the mitzvah of pirsumei nisa (publicizing the miracle), and the ancient Jewish negotiation between hiding and being seen, we explore the vulnerability of carrying light in a world that sometimes resists it.
This episode is an invitation to presence rather than answers — to stay with what is tender, raw, and alive — and to listen for the quiet wisdom that emerges when we allow ourselves to be seen, one flame at a time.

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.
