Bringing Meaning To Our Lives - A Mindful Jewish Moment

Tzvi Yisrael teaches,

Our days are limited and our years move on and pass away,

But those who are righteous in spiritual qualities and deeds bring a sense of eternity to their days,

That the days they live are made everlasting.

This is the sense of Sarah's lifetime came to 127 years.

Those limited and bounded years were transformed into the span of Sarah's life.

If those same bounded days are filled with exceptional qualities,

Then their inheritance will be forever.

Rest your eyes,

Relaxing body and breath.

Notice the passing of time with each breath.

Pay close attention to physical boundaries.

Where does your body meet the sitting place or the cushion?

Bring to mind someone you know who lives Sarah's quality of bringing meaning into each moment.

Draw strength from Sarah,

Your ancestor and the person you recalled,

Knowing that you can bring meaning to your own life through paying attention as each moment builds up to the span of your own life.
