Rabbi Yael begins each Sit with a teaching drawn from Jewish text or inspired by the cycle of Jewish time, and it lasts for a half-hour. The Sit ends with a closing teaching or prayer. Meditating in silent companionship supports regular practice and helps participants to direct their hearts and the work of their hands.

If you find these teachings useful, please donate to A Way In Jewish Mindfulness to keep them free and available for everyone.
