A High Holidays Meditation
Written by Behrman House Staff, 28 of August, 2017Summer is quickly coming to a close and it’s time to begin preparing for the High Holidays. Make this a time of quiet contemplation and peace as you gather with family and loved ones for Rosh Hashanah to reflect upon our role in the Jewish faith.
If you’re looking to add new rituals to your already beloved traditions, try introducing this mindful practice from The Tapestry of Jewish Time to your family meals. Meditate on each food and each symbol the food represents. Invite guests to bring foods that represent not only the beginning of a new year but also their cultural heritage. Together, reflect on the blessings and the struggles of the past year as you welcome the New Year and all of its potential.
