This episode features a meditation led by Rabbi Jenny Solomon. She based this practice in a verse from the first chapter of the Book of Ecclesiastes: "The sun rises, the sun sets, and glides back to where it rises; one generation goes, another comes, but the earth remains the same forever." This verse, and its rabbinic interpretation, reminds us that change is constant: the sun rises and sets; breaths, thoughts, feelings, sensations all come and go -- and, throughout it all, we can experience continuity of Divine Presence, consistency of Divine grace and love, which is woven throughout the changes. The earth remains the same. Join Rabbi Jenny Solomon for a short practice to help us join the flow of perpetual change, and notice within it God's constant love and sustenance.
