This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation by Rabbi Dr. Jenny Solomon of Beth Meyer Synagogue in Raleigh, North Carolina. Rabbi Solomon offers a simple but deep practice based on a teaching from the Jewish mystical tradition that one of the names for the Divine is simply "zot," the Hebrew word which means "this." We can connect with the sacred simply by bringing our attention to what is present for us in each moment — in this place, this sensation, this person, this breath. In other words, through mindfulness practice we can notice that God is present in each moment, just as it is; the Divine is always hiding in plain sight. God is — this. Please join this beautiful teaching and practice.
The meditation featured in this episode originally took place during the IJS Daily Online Meditation Sit on April 1, 2024. To join these FREE daily meditations live, sign up here.
