Welcome back to The Chai on Life Podcast! Today, ’m speaking with Rebbetzin Sara Yoheved Rigler. For those who do not know Rebbetzin Rigler, she is a best-selling author, speaker and teacher and this is actually her second time on The Chai on Life Podcast. She is our first second-time guest and I am so grateful for her for returning.
The reason she is back is to discuss her brand new book, 8 Seconds to Connect with Hashem: Mitzvah Mindfulness for Women. The whole idea of the book is about turning everyday actions into moments of connection. With clear guidance and short intention statements, even routine tasks―like drinking water or doing laundry―can become meaningful mitzvos.
I was blessed to hear about this concept from Rebbetzin Rigler on one of her classes through Jewish Workshops and after reading an early copy of the book, tried practicing it on my own. As you’ll hear more about in our interview, it’s truly a transformational idea. In a really small way, you can change your whole relationship with Hashem for the better.
In our conversation, we speak about:
-Why she wanted to write this book
-Why this action creates so much more love for and with Hashem
-How to do this when things feel tough and you’re going through challenges in life
-The importance of doing a mitzvah with simcha
-The two things that might get in the way of doing this practice effectively — and how to both watch out for and overcome those
-Why you can apply this concept to literally anything you’re doing throughout the day — even serving Hashem with your yetzer hara
…and so much more!
For the most up to date information, you can go to the book’s website, 8secconnect.com.
