This meditation focuses on the word hazeh, “this,” in hachodesh hazeh, “this month” (Exodus 12:2), considering how redemption and connection to God always happen in “this” moment, right now, in the present, and looking at all the ways we struggle with being present, constantly moving away from our experience. We practice being present just with this moment, this breath, this feeling, this sensation in our bodies.
