Rabbi Holtzblatt has a wonderful perspective—fully human, flawed as we all are, willing to acknowledge when she’s not having a great day or not being her best self—and yet finding inspiration, whether from our tradition or from just stepping back and taking in what is happening with Big Mind. To Rabbi Lauren: I imagine you have gotten super busy as we all have, now that the Covid shutdown is over; but if you have it in you to record more episodes, I will be grateful, as I am for what you have shared us with so far. Blessings and deepest thanks for this gift.

So lovely! Thoughtful meditations on spiritual ideas. Rabbi Lauren has great energy.

While I have been quarantined in Brooklyn for many months now, not setting into a shul since March, I have really enjoyed listening to your podcast. If there’s anything positive from the pandemic, it is now realizing there’s a whole new world of Jewish online teachings. I read some of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ essays (covenant and conversation) on the parsha of the week and now will add your podcast. Thank you!

A wonderful escape from all of the daily noises and distractions. A nice few minutes with some big picture perspective is really useful right now.

Rabbi Holtzblatt is a source of deep wisdom insight and connectedness. She offers the seeker, and the learner the chance to grow and find points of holiness in everyday life.

Just loved this week”s awake. In less activity our minds become overactive, looping back on themselves and keeping us from feeling or seeing possibility. Thank you Ranbi Lauren for naming it and for the teaching to open us to so much more in ourselves.

Excellent series. just wish it notified me whenever there was a new episode.

Rabbi Lauren communicates from her heart there is never any question of Sincerety honesty and compassion you touch my heart every time you open your mouth Loving you

So good. Best way to spend a few minutes a week.

Thank you for this! It’s a deep breath that fills and energizes me.

My children Jeffrey Rakitt and Susan Bayles and their children Eliana and Jonah are members of Adas. Generally, I am fortunate enough to visit them monthly and to attend services. Now when I’m feeling a need for a little of Rabbi Lauren’s wisdom and kindness, I listen to Awake. Yashar Koach. It is A beautiful, accessible and meaningful podcast! Bubbie Sandy Mahoney

I just started listening to this podcast during the Coronavirus quarantine. I find Rabbi Holtzblatt’s words to be just what I need to hear - to remember to see the holiness all around me.

Awake is a dream!

Classic Rabbi Holtzblatt. Now, available anytime!

Love these short meaningful snippets of Torah. Great way to start the day

This is the podcast that I need in my life. Small bits of Jewish learning that relate to daily life in a thoughtful and encouraging manner.

Just listened to the first podcast from Rabbi Holtzblatt and it was great.

Rabbi Lauren is the best and this is a terrific new podcast, full of interesting insights and thought-provoking stories.
