Keyword: לִבְּךָ (Libcha – "your heart")
Libcha, the heart, in Jewish thought is the seat of both feeling and intention. This verse is an invitation to be mindful of what you allow into your inner world, just as you would safeguard a wellspring. Your heart shapes your view of yourself, others, and life. Consider today what ideas, music, or company nurture your heart, and which diminish its light.
Is there a daily practice—a song, blessing, or pause—you can add to ‘guard your heart’?
If you need support in fostering protectiveness toward your inner life, Rabbi Ari welcomes your questions.
