Seeing the World Anew Jewish Meditation for Everyone

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.
