IIn this book, Rabbi Yael Levy gathers wisdom from Psalms and the Jewish mystical tradition into a unique Mindfulness approach to the ancient Jewish practice of Counting the Omer during the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot. In addition to the Omer blessings in both Hebrew and Rabbi Levy's English translation, this guide includes readings and teachings for each day, as well as evocative photographs to inspire meditation. Daily suggestions for action deepen the experience of counting each day and making each day count. Using insights gained from more than a decade of her own spiritual exploration, Rabbi Levy has created a guide for spiritual growth for beginners and for those who have more experience with Jewish Mindfulness practice. * Rabbi Yael Levy's approach to Mindfulness is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition. Her teachings grow out of her deep personal commitment to spiritual practice and a passionate belief in its potential to change not only individuals but also the world. Named as one of “America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis” by The Jewish Daily Forward, Rabbi Levy is the founder of A Way In, a Jewish Mindfulness program based in Philadelphia. A Way In offers a range of activities, from contemplative Shabbat and holiday services to meditation sits, classes and retreats, as well as a vibrant online community. Rabbi Levy is a spiritual director for rabbinical students in both the Reconstructionist and Reform movements as well as in private practice.
