The invitation of Judaism has always been to uncover the sacred in the mundane moments of life by paying attention

This is Jewish Mindfulness Practice.
At Or HaLev, we believe that Judaism is a precious resource for crafting a meaningful life. Every day, we teach Jewish mindfulness practice because as humans, we are hungry for connection, joy and inspiration. 
Let us show you what we mean on a life-changing Silent Jewish Meditation Retreat

Rabbi James Jacobson Maisels leads Or HaLev's 2018 Awakening to Freedom silent Jewish Meditation Retreat in chanting Ozi v'zimrat ya, vay'hi li li'shuah, The song of the Divine is my strength and my salvation.

" (Exodus 15:2)

Rav James teaches Torah from his Rebbe, the Piezzezner, suggesting that we consider Judaism not as a religion of commandments, but rather as a collection ofadvice or suggestions for methods to cultivate a meaningful life.
