In this episode, I recount my experience of Havdalah with PJ Library. I enjoyed this restorative evening designed for mothers to explore Jewish embodiment, which would help us to more fully align our actions with our intentions, better understand ourselves and others, and build communities of wholeness and belonging. The movement program was led by the creator of the Mitsui method, who explained to us that Jewish Embodiment is both rooted in and an expression of Jewish wisdom, identity, spirituality, culture, and values. Following the physical exercises, the restorative practice included breathwork, songs, prayers and the actual ritual of Havdalah that includes lighting candles, drinking wine and smelling spices to symbolically uplift our spirits and transition from the sanctity of Shabbat to the workweek.
