Asked if there was a blessing for a sewing machine, the Rabbi in Fiddler On The Roof answered that in Judaism: “There is a blessing for everything.” This renowned humoristic quote, however memorable, is a testimony to the breadth of mindfulness practices available in the Jewish tradition in general, and in Jewish mysticism in particular.  Rabbi Olivier is inviting us to explore this millennia-old Jewish path of mindfulness practice through the prism of Kabbalah and the teachings of the Chasidic mystics. Inspired by this rich offering, Rabbi Olivier will support us in carving for ourselves a series of personal daily practices to not only enrich our everyday living but also deepen our own spiritual journey.
