#360 - Rebecca Schisler - Judaism, Spirituality & October 7th

5 days ago

Rebecca Schisler joins Something For Everybody this week. Rebecca is a meditation teacher, artist, and Jewish educator. A devoted contemplative practitioner, she is a full-time core faculty member at the Institute for Jewish Spirituality, where she directs young adult programming and founded the Shevet Jewish Mindfulness Community. In addition, she currently teaches mindfulness at Stanford School of Medicine and with Or HaLev as well as a rabbinical student at ALEPH.

In this conversation, Rebecca and I explore the profound themes of mindfulness, suffering, and the intersection of personal and collective experiences, particularly in the context of Jewish tradition and current events. We discuss the importance of direct experience over belief, the role of mindfulness as an anchor in life, and the significance of understanding suffering as a product of attachment.
