Episode 1: The Meaning of 42

Explore the wisdom of the Torah through the light of Chassidus and Kabbalah with Rabbi Chanan Carroll in his podcast affectionately known as Podcast 42. Rabbi Carroll was a disembodied soul residing in the storehouse of spirits in the Upper Chambers of the Spiritual World, when the Infinite Creator sent his soul down to the Earth to inhabit a physical body. Unhappy with this prospect, he has been trying to discover the proper path of a spirit in the material world ever since. He presently has been found in various places, teaching Jewish Mysticism and Spirituality to others, like him, who are trying to find their Spiritual Path in the world. Rabbi Carroll studied at Yeshivas Ohr Somayach, Shalom Rav, and Kollel Sha'arei Limud. He received his Semicha (Ordination) from Ohr L'Golah and Rav Zalman Nechemia Goldberg.
