ters most, you might be interested in Rest to Return: A High Holiday Deceleration Retreat, which I'll be co-hosting this September. Nestled amidst New England beauty, 25 Jewish leaders - some Jewish professionals, some people who are Jewish and leaders - will gather for a retreat centered around rest as a form of teshuvah, returning to ourselves. Through creativity, reflection, and connection, we'll immerse in slowness and spaciousness as a way to prepare ourselves for 5787. If you're a Jewish leader and you've been longing for something like this, check out www.keshirahalev.com/sacredpause to learn more and express interest before July 10. I would love for you to join us!

Rest to Return, hosted by Keshira haLev Fife, explores the balance between ancient Shabbat practices and what is needed for us to feel well and whole in this time, making the case for the transformative power of rest, rooted in Jewish wisdom while expansive enough to meet the modern moment. By bridging traditional Sabbath wisdom with awareness of what each of us needs to thrive, we invite listeners to cultivate personal rest practices through contemporary application of Jewish thought interwoven with reflection, song, and embodied practice. This podcast offers Jewish spiritual guidance - from without and within - for navigating a turbulent world from a centered, rested place.
