Behar Bechutokai

This piyut, which holds a highly respected place inJewish liturgy, was written by R. Elazar Azkari, a philosopher and ethicist who was a major ﬁgure among the mystics 16th century Tzfat. The poet himself deﬁned his piyut as “a supplication for union and the desire of love” and it is indeed sung by all communities at times of great emotional and spiritual awakenings, such as the dawn hour, the welcoming of the Shabbat or the third meal of Shabbat. The poem is imbued with love, longing and emotion and it reﬂects the sensitive and mystical tendencies of the author.

Yachid Ge'eh יחיד גאה

This melody for Yigdal Elohim Chai is from the Jerusalemite Sephardic tradition. In this Piyut the author, R. Daniyel ben Yehudah the Judge of Rome, who lived in the 13th century, lists the thirteen Principles of Faith as phrased by Maimonides in his commentary to the Mishnah. The piyut gained great popularity, was adapted to many different melodies and was incorporated into most traditions which usually sing it at the end of the prayers.

KAVANA 1: Filling in the Blank Space - ויחי - VAYCHI

This was recorded to demo my new Low D Irish Flute made in Carbon Fiber.  I keep listening to it because it deeply relaxes me and entertains my soul. Thanks to Austrian composer Harald Peterstorfer and the combined work of engineer Rich Ruggles and Erik the flutemaker, we bring another great flute to the market.

Hashmi'ini -- an Extended Meditation

Body Dialogue requires slowing down. It does not require a lot of time, but it does require the decision to stop and say yes to your self care.

In this process, your body may reveal to you secrets that will make your life richer, fuller and more vital.

This session will provide you with an opportunity to drop deeply into the weight of your bones, to slow down and connect more deeply with your breathing patterns and restrictions, and begin to listen  to your inner body dialogue.

Try this practice. I invite you to do this in any way that feels right for you. If you cannot do it all, try a part of it. Invite a friend to do it with you. We all need to drop deeper into our presence so we can bring what is best in us forward.
