Teacher and chant composer Rabbi Andrew Hahn (the “Kirtan Rabbi”) joins Shoshana Jedwab on percussion and other friends for an evening of sacred call-and-response singing and meditative learning. Hebrew kirtan is participatory chanting where short, sacred phrases from the Jewish tradition are treated as powerful, universal meditations. Bring your voice, open heart, and dancing socks!
Admission: Free for in-house guests; $10 for general public.

With Jay Michaelson, author of Everything is God
Awakening is not just an Eastern concept. We live in a time when it is crucial to retreat and discover what is truly significant. Yet how do we emerge from personal exploration and apply what we have learned? Are there models of awakening and tools of spiritual practice that work within the messiness of daily life?

Join us for a special, intimate “unplugged” evening with the Kirtan Rabbi. Reb Drew will offer a teaching on the various forms of ancient Jewish mysticism with a special focus on ‘Ecstatic Kabbalah’ – the medieval practice of permutating divine names in order to clear away the trappings of this world and get closer to God. Comparisons with yogic philosophy, taoism and Buddhism where appropriate. And of course we will chant!
Featuring HonathJi, who has just arrived from Nepal, on tabla!
