Episode 34: Gratitude and Spiritual Protection Before Getting Out of Bed
The transition from sleep to wakefulness can be fraught. For some, it is a time to jump out of bed and get the day going. Others just pull the covers over their heads and hide from the morning light. Rabbi Amy Grossblatt Pessah welcomes her soul back to her body and envisions being wrapped in light to set out on her day. We invite you to join her in this practice!
Where can I find the prayer that Rabbi Pessah speaks?
The prayer Modeh Ani is found at the beginning of most Morning Services in most prayer books.
The passage V’Eirastikh Li is from the Prophet Hosea 2:21-22. It also appears in most non-Reform prayer books, early in the weekday morning service, to be recited when wrapping the tefillin on the hand.
And the podcast transcript has Hebrew and English transliteration for any prayer that’s spoken during the episode.
