Hineni is our Jewish Mindfulness spiritual community! We meet online! We’re so glad you’ve arrived here to learn more.
Our community is rooted in the Jewish principles of kindness, mindfulness, and deep connection. Whether you are seeking greater presence, healing, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us.
“Hineni” – Judaism’s powerful expression of full presence- forms the foundation of our community. Together, we cultivate being present through life’s transitions, challenges, and joys. Every soul is welcome. You don’t need to know anything special or be anything or anyone other than who you are.
We are dedicated to Jewish mindfulness practice. We embrace both the ancient wisdom of our tradition and new truths expressed through poetry and music. We meet virtually – and yet it feels like we are sitting in a living room! We’ve been around since 2015 and have members from around the world.
Our Community Vision
We gather in the digital realm to create something profoundly real—a space where Jewish sacred texts become living guides for personal growth. Together, we practice being fully awake and aware, especially when life challenges us most.
We are especially aware that we live in challenging and uncertain times. At the same time, there is beauty in front of our eyes. In Hineni, we talk a lot about how to hold both pain and joy as we journey through life.
While we cannot control what happens to us, there is a precious space of choosing how we respond.. Weaving Jewish wisdom with poetry and music, we transform ancient teachings into living practices that foster connection, compassion, and authentic presence in each moment.
How We Gather
Our Hineni community meets bi-monthly for text study and spiritual practice, and each Friday night to welcome Shabbat via Zoom. Each session creates meaningful connections through interactive engagement—this is not simply “live-streamed” content but a genuine meeting of hearts and minds.
As pioneers in creating meaningful online Jewish spaces, we’ve discovered that virtual gatherings can foster authentic community when approached with intention.
Our sessions are warm, welcoming, and soulful.
We welcome all who wish to explore Judaism’s depths through study and practice. Whether you’re deepening an established connection or just beginning to learn about Jewish tradition, you’ll find a home here.
Introducing Your Private Community Hub
Path With Heart Community has created the first Jewish Mindfulness social engagement platform. Our first of its kind community platform provides a familiar social feed without any annoying ads or intrusive algorithms. Open discussion spaces provide a safe place to connect with others, with easy access to numerous resources.
Hineni members unlock access to private discussion spaces, a members-only live chat, and event spaces with recordings, resources and follow-up discussion with Rabbi Jill for all live sessions.
Your Path With Heart Community Hub is a safe place for connection and engagement.
Members also gain access to archives including handouts, recordings, and resources from more than ten years of live Hineni sessions with Rabbi Jill. Come connect and engage with others to share, love, and learn with spaces dedicated to healing, sharing, and caring.
I enjoy being a part of Hineni. I love the connections with poetry, music, and the scholars from centuries ago, and how you can relate to their ideas today.
