Jewish Meditation for Everyone

Sight and Insight: the 'I' as a Mask and a Window

Episode Summary

This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation based on the Torah portion Re'eh by Dr. David Gottlieb, Professor of Jewish Studies at the Spertus Institute in Chicago and co-host of the podcast series, "Self Control Through Torah." He invites us, through meditation, to explore the nature and the construction of our sense of self -- our "I-ness," as he calls it -- and how that self can be either a mask which separates us from the Divine, or a window which enables us to witness the infinite depth from which our lives arise. Every day, every moment, we can choose blessing rather than curse by witnessing the profound interconnectedness of all Being. Join Dr. David Gottlieb now for this beautiful teaching and practice, "Sight and Insight."
