Rabbi Yael’s book:

Directing the Heart: Weekly Mindfulness Teachings and Practices from the Torah

has just been published. Please join us in celebrating!

With short teachings and mindfulness practices for every Torah portion, Rabbi Yael guides us through the year, exploring how Jewish tradition, rituals and practices can help us navigate the blessings and challenges of life.

How do we live fully with the awareness that life will end?

How do we love, even as we experience loss?

How do we embrace joy, gratitude and beauty?

How do we live with disappointments, sadness and pain?

How do we live with impermanence while deepening and caring for our relationships?

These are some of the questions Rabbi Yael addresses while exploring each portion.
