Yah Echsof Meditation and Exploration Group

Yah Echsof is the name of a well known Hasidic Shabbat Table Song that means “God I long for you, for your Shabbat.”

While classical Jewish teaching suggests “Naaseh V’Nishmah” (“first we do, then we understand”), Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, founder of Jewish Renewal, advocated for an alternative approach. He believed that profound connection comes from first understanding one’s inner Jewish self through study, practice, and meditation.

This monthly gathering adopts Reb Zalman’s path. We will use meditation, chant, and study to delve into our spiritual tradition and cultivate a deeper, more meaningful connection to our Jewish identity.
