The Neshamah Project Episode 110: A Taste of Reenchantment

This week on The Neshamah Project, Rabbi Ben Newman explores a visionary teaching from the Meor Einayim, in which Shabbat becomes far more than a day of rest. The Me’or Einayim teaches that Shabbat is a foretaste of the world to come — a glimpse of a future reality in which divine awareness fills everything, even the “lowest” parts of existence. What if our moments of stopping — Shabbat, silence, meditation, music, stepping away from constant productivity — are not escapes from the world, but rehearsals for the reenchanted world that is slowly emerging? What if rest itself is preparing us to experience reality differently? Blending Hasidic wisdom, mindfulness, and contemporary reflection, this episode explores how Shabbat offers us practice for a future rooted not in endless striving, but in awareness, delight, connection, and the rediscovery of the sacred hidden within ordinary life.
