Face to Face with the Infinite: A Live Kabbalah Dialogue with Ani Lipitz
Jun 20, 2025
This week on Live Kabbalah, I had the honor of sitting down with my dear friend and soul-colleague Ani Lipitz. Ani is a healer, teacher, and visionary behind Geulah Vision.
The conversation/Fabrengen was in a car because our office space is closed due to the Israel-Iran war. Since our whole family was home, inside wasn't an option.
I hope you enjoy!

Here is a summary of our convobrengen:
We opened with a sense of urgency, like the 1980s bootleg tapes of live Grateful Dead shows. There is something raw and real that needs to be shared, and we just want to press "record" and get it out. These are not ordinary times. We are in the midst of an evolutionary leap, and the energy is loud, intense, and alive. It is vibrating through every part of our being—and the question becomes: How do we stay present, connected, and rooted through it all?
The shift from outer prayer to inner tools
Ani brought through a vital message: We are being escorted—not gently invited, but powerfully ushered—into a new reality. One that requires new tools. It is not that tefillah and Tehillim are no longer holy, G-d forbid. But the way we relate to them must evolve. We are no longer helpless children crying out for rescue. We are being called to mature into co-creators with the Divine, to reclaim our spiritual technology as empowered participants in the unfolding of redemption.
“This is about stepping into our true identity,” Ani shared, “as cosmic beings who can hold and transmute intensity.”
The Yud of Yehoshua and the light of now
We touched on Parshat Shelach, the mission of the spies, and the mysterious addition of the letter Yud to Hoshea’s name, transforming him into Yehoshua. I shared a teaching from the Shem Mishmuel: that the Yud—representing Chochmah, Divine wisdom—was added by Moshe Rabbeinu to help Yehoshua stand firm in his own truth, unswayed by the influence of others. Because we are all social beings. We doubt our light. We doubt our intuition. We need that inner Yud to connect us to the infinite.
Ani brought the Kabbalistic depth, reminding us that the Yud is the spark of Chochmah, the intuitive channel of the Or Ein Sof—the infinite light. It is not something we earn. It is already inside of us. The challenge is to stop projecting and to start observing. To enter into bitul—not erasure, but surrender. Not helplessness, but clear seeing.
Nervous system, presence, and the sacred now
This entire energetic shift is not just spiritual—it is somatic. Our nervous systems are rewiring. The body is learning how to hold the light of Geulah without short-circuiting. As Ani beautifully said, “We are now integrating the lights of chaos—Oros deTohu—into the vessels of repair—Keilim deTikun.”
This is not just a mystical metaphor. It is embodied. It is breath by breath. It is the ability to be by the stream, in nature, in the forest, and say: “This is real. Hashem is here.” The spiritual download becomes integrated in the most grounded way—by being with what is.
Feminine and masculine: a return to wholeness
We explored the evolution of the feminine and masculine within us all. Ani vulnerably shared her own journey—how she spent much of her life functioning in a masculine modality, suppressing her feminine receptivity and relational intelligence. Now, she is welcoming her inner woman back online.
This healing is not just personal—it is global. We are entering a more feminine era, not in gender, but in qualities: processing, presence, speech, movement, receptivity, relationality. And this shift requires the masculine to evolve as well—to become more embodied, more emotionally present, more rooted like Yaakov Avinu, who marries both Rachel and Leah, integrating both worlds.
We are healing distorted masculine archetypes—the dissociated, achievement-driven provider—and rediscovering the sacred masculine: the anchor, the observer, the one who holds presence with strength and tenderness.
Staying present in crisis
As sirens sounded in the background of our conversation—real alarms here in Israel—we spoke about what it means to be present in the face of crisis. Ani suggested a radical spiritual practice: to use the moment of terror as a portal to intimacy with the Divine. “Say it out loud,” she urged. “This is You, G-d. I am face to face with you now.”
Not to deny fear. Not to bypass panic. But to anchor consciousness even in the chaos. This is how we transmute. This is how we rewire.
Connecting to soul guides and spiritual nervous systems
We spoke about the power of being connected to teachers, mentors, and tzaddikim. Their attuned nervous system helps recalibrate our own. As the Rebbe taught, when we connect to the tzaddik, we access a higher stream of clarity, confidence, and truth.
Ani reminded us: the goal is not dependency, but empowerment. When we align with a tzaddik, we tap into the part of our soul that is already aligned. We are rerouted back to our authentic, highest self.
Shabbat Shalom!
