Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast

In this first Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast episode, we explore the paradoxical practice of "acceptance" as a means toward "empowerment," rather than resignation and dispair – a crucial teaching for our time, based on the Torah reading, Parshat Tetzaveh. Includes guided meditation and Hebrew chanting. The Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks is a guide for developing consciousness and awakening inner freedom. Rooted in Kabbalah and Hasidism with an Integral lens, it features transformative teachings, Hebrew chanting and guided meditation with meditative piano.
