There’s a huge difference between dabbling in different practices and actually making a home of your spiritual life in a solid tradition. And while dabbling might seem more freeing, there is a much deeper freedom that comes from giving up the seeking, and coming home to your essence within a committed community and practice. But to do that, you need to awaken that level of your being that longs to come home, that isn’t seduced by superficial freedom, and that is ready to make a commitment.
In this episode of the Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast, we’ll practice connecting on this level through Parshat Mishpatim, followed a guided meditation based on the Hebrew letter Tzaddi, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks. Opening song Hashkiveinu and piano improvisation also by Brian Yosef. Hashkiveinu is from the album Ayn Od by BRIAH, and features the vocals of Jeannette Ferber and Bon Singer, along with Sam “Shmully” Markewich on drums, Joshua Miele on bass, and Lior Tzarfaty on guitar.

If you search yourself, you can look everywhere and never find yourself, because of course, it’s your “self” that’s doing the looking. And, when you do find yourself as the one who is looking, meaning, when you find out that you are the field of awareness within which this moment arises, there is a tremendous relief and unburdening – this is Jewish Meditation.
In this episode of the Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast, you’ll get a taste of this freedom through Parshat Yitro, followed a guided meditation based on the Hebrew letter reish, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks. Opening song Hashkiveinu and piano improvisation also by Brian Yosef.

When God is tells Moses to free the Israelites from Egypt, Moses resists: “I can’t do it - send somebody else!” God responds, Anokhi Ehyeh – “I will be with you.” And a bit earlier, when Moses asks God’s Name, the reply is the same: Ehyeh – “I Will Be.” In other words, God is Being. God is not a being, not even the most supreme being, but Being Itself. M’lo khol ha-aretz k’vodo – “the whole world is filled with Divine Presence” – because God is the inner beingness or isness of everything.
You can know this for yourself by shifting your attention away from thought and into Presence; this is meditation. How do you do it? Find out in this episode of the Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast on Parshat Sh’mot, with a guided meditation based on the Hebrew letter ט TET, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks.
