    Ever wondered how a deep-rooted family tradition from Yemen could inspire a modern winemaking journey in Ma'ale Efrayim? Meet Yaacov Ben-Ami, a passionate winemaker who crafts approximately 3,000 bottles of kosher wine annually in his home winery. Join us as we uncover Yaacov's story, woven through tales of his grandfather Saba Moshe’s influence and his grapes sourced from vineyards across Shiloh, Itamar, and Galil regions of Israel. Discover the unique narratives behind his wines, each reflecting the historical and natural tapestry of their region.

    Explore the nuances of winemaking with Yaacov as he shares insights on the fermentation process, the surprising discovery of Sangiovese grapes from Givat Ada. Through this sensory journey, we contemplate the delicate balance between time-honored techniques and modern practices, revealing the transformative power of patience and creativity in the art of winemaking.

  • Rabbi Yaakov Shepherd: Unveiling the Spiritual Depths of Kosher Wine
    Dec 11 2024

    Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir

    Discover the sacred secrets of kosher wine with esteemed Rabbi Yaakov Shepherd. We'll uncover how wine has become a cornerstone in Jewish rituals, steeped in history and spirituality. Rabbi Shepherd brings a wealth of Kabbalistic wisdom to our discussion, illuminating the profound connection between wine and spiritual elevation. Together, we explore how ancient wine presses in Israel tell a story that still resonates through practices like Kiddush and Havdalah, symbolizing joy, sanctity, and the transformation of everyday moments into sacred experiences.

    Intrigued by the idea of "tikkun" or spiritual repair? Join us as we explore how mindful consumption of wine can guide us toward spiritual growth. With stories that trace back to biblical figures like Adam and Noah, we address the importance of intention and the necessity of correcting the negative influences of wine. This episode is a thoughtful journey into using wine as a means for spiritual connection rather than mere indulgence.

    Our conversation doesn't stop at the ritual. We delve into how mindfulness and intention can elevate all aspects of daily life, making each moment an opportunity to connect with Hashem. Gratitude and awareness can transform even the most mundane activities into profound experiences of spiritual intimacy. As we conclude, I extend a heartfelt request for prayers for our soldiers and hostages, encouraging you to join our community of listeners.
