A gratitude practice is simpler than you might think. In the third episode in the series on gratitude, Rabbi Josh Feigelson draws on his mother’s extraordinary daily thankfulness to explore the ancient Jewish teaching of making a hundred blessings a day. Inspired by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s call to live with “radical amazement,” he invites listeners to start small: one intentional moment of thanks before your next meal.

On Yom Kippur, we’re invited to slow down, turn inward, and open our hearts. Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores an ancient teaching about directing our hearts toward the Holy of Holies and offers a simple mindfulness practice called The Gentle Knock, a way to pause, reconnect, and come home to ourselves with compassion rather than judgment.

In the final episode of Soulful Jewish Living's ten-part series on feeling at home, Rabbi Josh Feigelson turns to an end of summer teacher: baseball. Using Kirby Puckett's famous walk-off home run and the mishnaic teaching on Sukkot, Josh explores why "home" is less a place than a state of mind, and closes the series with a guided meditation on teshuva as the practice of always finding our way back home.

Home isn't a place with walls, it's the whole earth, and teshuva means returning to that sense of belonging. In the latest episode of his series on home, Rabbi Josh Feigelson opens with Project Hail Mary's longing for home, then draws on Thich Nhat Hanh and Rabbi Alan Lew to reframe Rosh Hashanah, creation's birthday, as an invitation to feel at home in the world itself. Josh also includes a short breath and gravity mindfulness practice to embody the idea.

When the bottom falls out, a diagnosis, a loss, the end of a relationship, the home we counted on can crumble.

Drawing on Heschel's image of Shabbat as a sanctuary in time, he offers a gentle breathing practice you can carry anywhere.
