In this episode, Rabbi Ariel Hendelman explores how Jewish mysticism can translate high spiritual concepts into practical, everyday mindful living. Drawing from the ancient Sefer Yetzirah and the Book of Proverbs, she reframes Chochmah (wisdom) as an empty vessel—a hollowed channel free from the ego's default "me mode" so it can be filled with Divine Presence. Join her for a chant and guided meditation to soften mental chatter and rest in a state of Presence.
