The Sacred Pause as Applied to Mezuzah (Aurelius – Meditations 5:23)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Synopsis: Today’s episode is about a two-week experiment I’m in the midst of conducting: What will happen if I utilize Tara Brach’s “sacred pause” technique in order to more fully attend to the mezuzah and its ideational content? To my mind this is a good example of how there are things to learn from non-Jewish sources and practices which can allow us to better access the good of the Torah without corrupting or distorting it – which, let’s face it, is the premise of this entire podcast.Related Episodes:- “The Sacred Pause” in Light of Stoicism and Judaism (Epictetus – Discourses 2:18)Sources: - Aurelius, Meditations 5:23- Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance- Rambam: Mishneh Torah, Hakdamah- Rambam: Mishneh Torah, Sefer Ahavah, Hilchos Tefilin, u’Mezuzah, v’Sefer Torah 6:13----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
