Chanting and Meditation
with Zahavi
The monthly chanting session is a meditative, focused spiritual practice that supports personal deepening with kavanot and mindfulness guidance. It is not a class or choir and is offered in “noble silence.” The chants used are mostly Rabbi Shefa Gold’s arrangements from phrases in the liturgy.
Newcomers welcome!
