"Through my Jewish meditation courses, I have come to remember what is deeply important in my life. What is more Jewish than that?"
- Trustee, Boston Area Synagogue

Nishmat Hayyim: Breath of Life Jewish Meditation Collaborative of New England began two years ago fulfilling the need for a contemplative practice rooted in Jewish teachings and texts. From the 75 people at our first program in 2005 to the 250 congregants this year who participated in programs co-sponsored through out the community, Nishmat Hayyim has become a significant resource. Nishmat Hayyim's programs reach across the spectrum of background, belief, and religious observance, creating a community for Jewish practice and learning that is applicable to the challenges of our modern lives.

We need your support.

Nishmat Hayyim operates with only part-time staffing, a cadre of committed volunteers and a nominal budget. Currently we can only meet about half the requests for programs, collaborations, and resources we receive each week. Our budget is wholly dependent on the generosity of individuals like yourself. Your contribution will help us to keep our programs affordable, never turning anyone away for lack of funds and meeting our year-end fundraising goal of $75,000.

With your donation we can expand our programming calendar to include:
  • 5-week courses at four different synagogues.
  • Weekly meditation groups in Brookline, Wellesley, and Cambridge.
  • Contemplative Shabbats.
  • Programs for families, kids and teens.
  • Day-long retreats.
  • Courses, Shabbats, and special events at multiple Hillels
  • Programs for CJP - Pathways, Hebrew Senior Life, and other organizations
  • Numerous special events with well-respected teachers and Rabbis from Israel and the US.

Your generous financial support will make a significant impact on the future of Nishmat Hayyim - and the organizations that look to us for programs.

"This is one of the ways I have been able to connect to Judaism in a meaningful way. Through meditation in the sanctuary I have been discovering my own Jewish identity and finding my own concept of G-d."
- Young adult, Metro Boston
