This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation by Rabba Dr. Mira Neshama Weil, of Neshimah in Israel. She notes that just like the experience of childbirth, all new beginnings and liberation often require of us blood, sweat, tears, and brokenness. She asks: What might be born out of the heartbreak so many of us feel these days? What destructive patterns are being shattered right now? What might break open within ourselves that might give birth to new possibilities? In this meditation, Rabba Weil asks us to sit with this powerful question, as we move towards Passover, the season of rebirth and liberation: "If something could break open within me, what would it be?"
