Reflect and Release (Rosh Hashanah meditation) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the Jewish new year of Rosh Hashanah approaches, take a quiet journey through the year’s changing seasons. Begin in autumn, when the world turns inward and the leaves let go. Remember what you began, what you carried, and what you were ready to release. Move through winter’s stillness, spring’s awakening, and summer’s fullness. Along the way, reflect on the people, places, choices, and moments that shaped you. What brought you joy? What asked more of you than you expected? What remains unfini
Tuesday Morning Spirituality (conversation with Cindy Anderson) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the guidance you’re looking for is already available to you? In this episode of Sidesteps, Rabbi Alon Ferency talks with Cindy Anderson of Soul Epiphany about spirit guides, intuition, creativity, and the surprising wisdom that can emerge when we quiet the noise around us.

We don’t
When Life Feels Fragile (meditation for joy in the face of worry) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A meditation Deuteronomy 28, inspired by the Scripture’s warning that we can lose our way when we fail to serve life with joy and gladness. We begin by acknowledging the precariousness of being alive: our mortality, our incompleteness, the fragility of health, safety, love, and everything we cannot control. Rather than turning away from melancholy or grief, we breathe into the mystery and vastness of existence, cultivating a sense of awe. From that awe comes a surprising shift: the recognition t
Bedtime Ritual 83 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A gentle nighttime meditation inspired by the ancient Jewish practice of preparing the soul for sleep. This ritual invites you to close the day with softness, honesty, and gratitude — releasing tension, reviewing the moments that shaped you, and returning to yourself with compassion. Through calming breath, reflection, and quiet awareness, you’ll create space to let go of unfinished thoughts and settle the nervous system before rest. Rather than striving to “sleep perfectly,” this practice treat
