Perfect Body! A Torah Portion Afterthought
Perfect Body podcast is an afterthought on the weekly Torah portions. The Torah is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Take time this year to read the Torah and be refreshed in your body, mind, and spirit. I tell the story of a portion of the portion breaking it down into bite size pieces that you can swallow so that you can eat and be full but not too full. Save room for your personal self-discovery as you engage in Torah study. Subscribe to this show to receive a new show every week. Visit http://www.shirahchante.com/podcast for more inspiration.

Torah Portion Terumah: God’s Patterns & Plans (Exodus 25–27) | Perfect Body Podcast
Shirah Chante introduces the Perfect Body Podcast Torah portion “Terumah” (Exodus 25–27:19), describing Moses’ mountaintop experience and God’s detailed instructions for building the Ark of the Covenant, the tabernacle, and its furnishings. Reading key verses, she emphasizes God’s repeated command to build “exactly” according to the pattern and plan shown on the mountain, and applies this theme to personal purpose—seeking God in prayer and Scripture to receive direction, timing, and next steps. She shares her own calling to sing for God and notes that development can take years, using Moses’ long preparation before leading Israel as encouragement not to be discouraged by waiting. She closes with a prayer for listeners to recognize God’s pattern and plan for their lives.
