Jewish Meditation for Everyone

Come into the Ark of Protection, Light, and Love

Episode Summary

This special episode for the current crisis in Israel and Gaza features a meditation by Yiscah Smith of the Pardes Institute and Applied Jewish Spirituality: "Come into the Ark of Protection, Light, and Love." She offers a short teaching and meditation based on the story of Noah and the Flood, helping us respond to our current "flood" of pain, grief, and fear by grounding ourselves in an inner "ark" that can hold all those challenging emotions, and instill within us a greater sense of protection, hope, clarity, and love.
