Perfect Body! A Torah Portion Afterthought
Vayechi: Carry My Bones
In this episode of Perfect Body Podcast: A Torah Portion Afterthought, Relationship Coach Shirah Chante reflects on the final Torah portion of Genesis, Vayechi (“And He Lived”), with the powerful subtitle “Carry My Bones.”
Exploring Jacob’s and Joseph’s dying requests to have their bones carried out of Egypt, this teaching uncovers the deep spiritual meaning of bones, covenant, legacy, and belonging. From reversed blessings to God’s promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, this episode reveals how faith, identity, and divine order extend beyond life itself.
Discover how “bones” symbolize covenant, union, and God’s enduring relationship with His people—and why where we belong matters, even after death.
