This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation led by Rabbi Marc Margolius of the IJS Core Faculty, a simple guided meditation for moving into Shabbat by fully inhabiting our physical being; by growing in awareness of our essential spiritual nature (in Jewish religious terms, the neshamah yeteirah, the "additional soul with which we are endowed on Shabbat); by drawing the sacred light of the Shabbat candles into our very being; and by filling our kiddush cup with gratitude for our blessings, no matter how challenging the current circumstances of our lives.
The meditation featured in this episode originally took place during the IJS Daily Online Meditation Sit on July 12, 2024. To join these FREE daily meditations live, sign up here.
