Kabbalistic Meditation for Shaking the Lulav
I hope you enjoy this week’s podcast in which I share a meditation for shaking the Lulav with kavanot (intentions). The meditation is based on this Breslav teaching [http://www.breslov.com/center/article_lulav.html], with modifications to make it more accessible.

Creation Care 84 Next Thursday
Hi Friends,
Did you know that the Old Norse pagan tradition, Ásatrú, is Iceland’s fastest growing religion?
Join us next Thursday, October 5th, to find out why as we discuss this fascinating article: Swedish Ecologist Revives Old Norse Myths And Rituals To Tackle Environmental Crises [https://religionunplugged.com/news/2023/4/18/andreas-kornevall-ceremony-in-the-ancient-future]
🌳 Andreas Kornevall, a Swedish-British ecologist, is dedicated to preserving Old Norse myths and rituals, using them to address contemporary environmental issues and foster a connection to nature.🌳
[Kornevall] emphasizes that it’s not the type of ritual, but ritual itself, that matters. He envisions what he calls an “ancient future,” one in which we turn once again to ceremonies and rituals — however old or new, however authentic or invented — to give shape and meaning to our presence on Earth and to help us contend with the inevitable, ongoing loss and change that our disconnect from the planet has wrought. “In the ancient future,” he hopes, “ceremonies will not be redundant, but indeed stronger.”
