About This Podcast

Wisdom gleaned from life’s twists and turns. “May all your detours be destinations.” Rabbi David Ingber received that blessing from a dear friend many years ago and never forgot it. The echo of those words continues to resonate and inspire today. Can we reframe obstacles as opportunities? How do we recognize when a stumbling block truly is a stairway? In this new podcast, Rabbi Ingber sits down with thought leaders, changemakers, and spiritual seekers, for heart-centered conversations about the winding paths we take, and the insights gleaned along the way. These are conversations about resilience, transformation, the beauty and messiness of being human — a touchstone for listeners seeking wisdom in perilous times.
