Know Thyself: This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation by Rabbi Sam Feinsmith of the IJS Core Faculty. It's the first in a series of four meditations on the theme of "From Constriction to Expanse," a series intended to help us prepare inwardly for Passover. The Jewish mystical tradition teaches that beyond the tyranny and constriction of the ego lies our true nature: a spiritual core or essence that is innately compassionate, wise, connected, and spacious. In Hasidic teachings in particular, the journey of discovering or recognizing this inner essence is understood as a kind of internal Exodus that transports us from servitude to freedom. In this meditation, Rabbi Feinsmith draws on Hasidic wisdom to remind us that we can experience freedom in any moment, simply by noticing that we are not synonymous with or bound by our thoughts and feelings. We can taste freedom simply by remembering our essence as human beings created in the Divine Image. by Jewish Meditation for Everyone

Seeing the World Anew: This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation by Rabbi Daniel Raphael Silverstein of Applied Jewish Spirituality. It's a teaching he offered just as Rosh Hodesh Nisan, the new month of Nisan, was arriving in Israel. The appearance of the first sliver of the New Moon of Nisan — the first month of the year for the Jewish people — is an especially auspicious moment of renewal. Rabbi Silverstein invites each of us to grow in awareness of the freshness, the newness of each breath, of each moment of our lives, and to see them as brimming with possibility. In these fraught times, it is a practice that can help us nurture our capacity for hope, and our ability to chart a new course in the days, weeks, and months ahead. We hope you find it meaningful and helpful. by Jewish Meditation for Everyone
