Find God By Not-Finding | Jewish Meditation On Yitro

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. Hashkiveinu features additional vocals by Jeannette Ferber and Bon Singer.

Reviews

Rabbi Brian, I cannot thank you enough for this teaching. Since October 7, I have struggled to make sense and understand a world seemingly gone mad. Truth has become arbitrary, right and wrong just a blurry haze, and reality ignored. My brain has been trying so hard to understand it all. After this meditation, I am able to breathe deeply again. The not finding is exactly what I needed to hear and learn about in order to learn how to live again in this new world of ours. HaShem has our backs! Thank you 🙏
