MIAMI, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Discover how the Institute for Jewish Spirituality (IJS) is bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary practices, offering a path to deeper connection and inner peace in a rapidly changing world.

Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid presents a segment highlighting the Institute for Jewish Spirituality's innovative approach to teaching Jewish spirituality in the 21st century. This feature explores how IJS integrates mindfulness, meditation, and embodied practices with Jewish texts and mysticism, addressing the spiritual needs of contemporary seekers. The segment showcases how these practices cultivate resilience and offer meaningful responses to challenges like rising antisemitism and the stresses of daily life, fostering a community of belonging and peace.

"For young people today, taking a moment to just breathe and be with your body and see what it's like to be you in this moment, is a pretty radical act," says Jes Heppler, a 27-year-old active in IJS's young adult community. Heppler has attended both online programs and in-person retreats with IJS, which have both helped in transforming their relationship with Judaism. "IJS is meeting a spiritual hunger that many young people have today—the desire to figure out what Judaism should look like in our lives today."

The Institute for Jewish Spirituality recognizes that many individuals seek more than intellectual engagement with their faith. They yearn for experiences that connect to their bodies, souls, and spirits as well. By offering retreats, workshops, and online programs, IJS provides accessible pathways to spiritual growth, addressing the anxieties of a turbulent world and fostering continuity for future generations.
