My name is Yaakov and and the one who will write the posts on this blog site. I am a practicing Jew which means that I am active in a Jewish community by attending services and activities at the synagogue, taking part in Jewish sponsored programs and activities in my community

I am a Reform Jew which means that I am liberal. Reform Judaism, from how I understand it, offers the individual the freedom to

figure out how they will best live Jewishly in their community.

Most of what I write here will in some way pertain to meditation and mindfulness. I lead meditation and mindfulness classes and I

work with people to find the practice that will assist them in lessening their stress.
