Episode notes
Life Changed By One Class
- Eliyahu Pereira described a transformative moment hearing Gedale Fenster teach Rabbi Nachman, which led him to change his life and move to Israel.
- That single class prompted him to start a yeshiva and teach Hasidut daily.
Daily Jewish Breathwork
- Do daily short breathwork practices as a Jew to connect intention to Hashem, not just physical benefits.
- Start with seven minutes a day so moments of stress require only two breaths to recalibrate.
Breath As Spiritual Renewal
- Breath is both physical and spiritual; learning Torah and connecting to tzaddikim brings 'new air' or Mashiach energy.
- Being around tzaddikim or their books renews and revives your spiritual 'breath.'
