This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation led by Rabbi Marcelo Bronstein, a therapist, coach, and spiritual teacher based in Costa Rica, and formerly a rabbi at Congregation B'nai Jeshurun in NYC. In this simple and beautiful practice, he describes the essential elements of mindfulness practice, framed in traditional Jewish terms: pausing to create space in which we can observe, without judgment, the stream of thoughts and feelings which lead us to react from our ego, rather than respond from our innate, sacred wisdom. Rabbi Bronstein offers a meditation which supports us in responding to the stimuli of our lives and the world by cultivating the freedom to choose life -- to respond from compassion for ourselves and others. Join us now to learn and practice with Rabbi Marcelo Bronstein.
