A Guided Meditative Yizkor Service
Yizkor is a holy moment, when we connect with the souls of our loved ones through memory and prayer. By mentioning their names, we honour their presence in our lives and perpetuate their impact on the world. Here is a guide for a spiritually moving Yizkor that can be said alone. With some soulful reflection we can make this year’s Yizkor more powerful than ever, even if we are saying it at home.

Yom Kippur Guide
Yom Kippyr Guide. Fasting on Yom Kippur can give you a powerful spiritual experience. Or it can just make you feel hungry. We don’t fast to punish ourselves. We fast to elevate ourselves above our body, and align with our soul. If we do Yom Kippur right, we can attain a moment of true transcendence. We can feel our soul. Here is a meditation that turns the fasting into a catalyst for introspection. Combined with selected prayers and reflections, this meditation can help you reach a place where you feel energised from not eating.
