In the first episode of a series on daily rituals, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the significance of daily rituals, starting with the act of waking up. Drawing from a memorable scene in Groundhog Day, Rabbi Feigelson connects the film's themes to the Jewish practice of beginning the day with gratitude. Rabbi Feigelson offers a mindful morning practice, encouraging listeners to savor the moment between sleep and wakefulness, appreciate the gifts of life, and embrace each new day as an opportunity. Through these small, intentional moments, we connect to the essence of Jewish life and the importance of gratitude. Listeners are invited to explore this practice and reflect on how beginning the day with appreciation can positively shape their lives.
