jMeditate takes Rabbi Yaakov Shepherd's own guided meditations, teachings, and books — taught in his yeshiva for over 15 years — and turns them into a practice you can use every day. A way back to devekut: real connection to Hashem.
Jewish meditation is real and it is old — Sefer Yetzirah, the Arizal, the Baal Shem Tov. But it has never been organized for a learner. It lives in scattered recordings, out-of-print books, and shiurim you'd have to already know how to find.
jMeditate brings these teachings together — and lets you learn them step by step.
Most meditation apps start from nothing and manufacture "content." jMeditate starts from a lifetime of teaching that already exists:
One Rav's complete body of teaching — 1,537 shiurim in English, 1,013 in Hebrew — organized into a single place you can actually use.
Each capability builds on the last. You're not scrolling a library; you're walking a path, one step at a time.
A short lesson introduces one real teaching — grounded in a genuine Kabbalistic source, in plain language.
A guided meditation in the Rav's own voice turns that lesson into something you actually sit with and do.
When you're ready, the next capability opens. The path grows with you, at your own pace.
Reflection journaling and guided coaching are on the roadmap — the beta ships the core Learn → Practice path first.
The first path teaches the foundation every deeper practice rests on: the simple, trainable skill of noticing where your mind has gone — and gently returning. Start here.

His teaching on healing through Kabbalistic understanding, reworked into short guided sessions for the moments you need them most.

Explore in the app →These aren't excerpts bolted on for flavor. The app is how you'll finally sit with this material and practice it — not read it once and put it down.
The beta's first users are shaping this app as it's built. Their words will live here — real testimonials only, once they've actually practiced with it. Nothing invented in the meantime.
The Rav's shiurim, his books, his own voice — becoming a practice you can carry. It isn't finished. It's real, it's extensive, and it's ready for its first users to help shape it.
