This special episode of our podcast features a previously recorded meditation by Rabbi Sheila Peltz Weinberg, beloved teacher and spiritual mentor for many years with the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. It’s a meditation based on Shabbat, the timeless Jewish spiritual practice of simply being, rather than doing, of being fully present, of allowing awareness to bear witness to what is, exactly as it is. Rabbi Weinberg teaches here that “the stillness and peace of Shabbat are actually present in every moment of stopping and just breathing. Our awareness is awake, allowing us to pay attention to what is already here, without trying to change anything, without struggling with the way things are.” We hope you find this practice helpful and meaningful.
The meditation featured in this episode was previously recorded by Rabbi Sheila Peltz Weinberg for the Institute for Jewish Spirituality.
