True spiritual strength is not the force of an ego defending itself, but rather, the capacity to rest in the silence and be aware of reactive feelings without needing to become them. Followed by a guided meditation on the Hebrew letter ס samech, which represents the foundational support of this inner silence to set you free from emotional reactivity. Teaching and guided meditation with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks. Opening song Hashkiveinu and piano improvisation also by Brian. Hashkiveinu is from the album Ayn Od by BRIAH, and features the vocals of Jeannette Ferber and Bon Singer, along with Sam “Shmully” Markewich on drums, Joshua Miele on bass, and Lior Tzarfaty on guitar.
