time for yourself," Rabbi
Graboys says.
Meditation has become at-
tractive to many Jews who want
more spirituality in their daily
lives. It's an antidote to a ca-
cophonous society, she says.
Ilene Hummel, 53, a training
consultant who studies with
Rabbi Graboys, says meditation
gives her calmness and a sense
of peace.
"I think meditation is some-
thing I need in my life. I need it
to slow me down. And what it's
also done is help me to learn
about myself," she says.
Another of Rabbi Graboys' 60
or so students, Betsy Lowe, 49,
of Phoenix, began meditating
four years ago and has found
that it helps her overcome
chronic pain. Ms. Lowe, who is
a homemaker, says she really
misses it if she doesn't meditate
daily.
Ms. Lowe says the ritual of
meditation is "very nourishing,
very satisfying."
"You can learn to let go of a
lot of negativity, of anger," Ms.
Lowe says. "Meditation is like
an air purifier for your mind."
The act of meditation begins
simply, by focusing on one's
breath.
In his classic book Jewish
Meditation, the late Rabbi
Aryeh Kaplan draws a parallel
between the Hebrew words for
"soul" and the practice of medi-
tation. The lowest level of the
soul is nefesh, which comes from

"Meditation is like
an air purifier for
your mind."

a root meaning "rest." The next
level is ruach, which means
"wind" or "spirit," and the high-
est level — neshamah — is as-
sociated with breath.
The Book of Genesis (2:7)
states, "God formed man out of
the dust of the earth, and he
blew into his nostrils a soul [ne-
shamah) of life."
In the Verses of Praise, dur-
ing the morning shachrit ser-
vice, wrote Rabbi Kaplan, "a
person becomes aware of the lev-
el of ruach, the divine wind-spir-
it. This is the inner space where
one is totally aware of one's own
spiritual nature and connection
to God."
The difference between ruach
and neshamah, wrote Rabbi Ka-
plan, is the difference between
feeling a wind and a breath. In
the neshamah experience, one
feels an intimacy with God, "as
if God were breathing on him,
