"The Equalizer" from the Risk! Podcast episode "Whammy!", January 2020

Yotzer Yechidati - R’bi Moshe Zakut (Italy, 1620-1697)
Morocco | Baqashot Beshalah | Hijaz Mesharqi

Yotzer yechidati lo etenah dodai 
Echeseh be’ziv seter e’lion betzel Shadai

Gamar be’yom shishi et kol asher a’sah
Ra’a vehineh tov, kol machazeh Shadai

Limeyachaleh chasdo ganaz me’or tuvo
Mazhir ke zohar a’l harim veziv shadai

Kidesh behar Sinai et kol kahal ‘amo
Hamu lechibato gam bahamot Shadai

Moshe zechut hirba torah befiv natan
Kolo kekol mayim rabim kekol Shadai

Yom ze ani mekhin nafshi le’hod yeter
‘Al ken teshacher na el el ve’el Shadai

Ochil le’tsur el chay yigmor shanot hachol Lishbot beshabato az yaaloz Shadai.

To the creator of my being, I shall give my love
In the light of a sublime secret, I will hide in the shadow of Shadai 
He finished on Friday everything that he had done 
He saw that it was good, all of Shadai’s creation.
He strengthened the sick with the light of his goodness. 
The splendor of Shadai shines like a beacon on the mountains.
In Sinai, he blessed the whole community of his people
They hummed to his affection,  even the animals of Shadai.
Moshe multiplied the credits and gave Torah from his mouth. His voice was like the voices of water, like the voice of Shadai. 
For that day, I am preparing my soul to deep gratitude
That God may arise, El and El Shadai.
I pray that my rock, the living God,  may end the unsacred years. That He may sit in His Shabat. Then Shadai may exult.

What Ezekiel Saw, by Nomy Lamm


CHORUS: I looked up into the sky
I was lookin at the center of god’s insides
Looking for an angel to be my guide
Chills ran up and down my spine

There was a great big golden ring
And it was twisting and turning…

CHORUS

There was a second ring right there inside
The great big golden ring
And it was twisting and turning…

CHORUS

There were eyeballs on every side
of the second ring right there inside
of the great big golden ring
And it was twisting and turning…

CHORUS

There were wings upon wings
growing out the eyeballs on every side
of the second ring right there inside
of the great big golden ring
And it was twisting and turning…


CHORUS

Face of a lion an eagle a human a cow
on wings upon wings
growing out the eyeballs on every side
of the second ring right there inside
of the great big golden ring
And it was twisting and turning…

CHORUS

It was young and old and in between
a lion an eagle a human a cow
on wings upon wings
growing out the eyeballs on every side
of the second ring right there inside
of the great big golden ring
And it was twisting and turning…

CHORUS


Trumpets were blasting!
young and old and in between
a lion an eagle a human a cow
on wings upon wings
growing out the eyeballs on every side
of the second ring right there inside
of the great big golden ring
And it was twisting and turning…

What Ezekiel Saw: The Ophanim Song - Nomy Lamm

It's snowing silently
Over your memory
The sad snow is settling
Over the world that has brought you to me

I feel myself losing you
Running among frozen stars
Among whispers petrified by the cold
Over shadows erased by the night
And I reach for your shadow
Arched in the heavenly light
Your presence surrounds me


(Partial translation I made of Paula Seling's beautiful lyrics)

Dr. Kamilah Majied is a mental health therapist, professor, and internationally engaged consultant on social justice and inclusive contemplative pedagogy. The practice of Buddhism spurred a curiosity for Dr. Majied about the causes of unhappiness, particularly unhappiness as created by social oppression. A professor of social work, she is skilled in using Buddhist and contemplative practices to help people heal from racism, sexism, homophobia, and other types of oppression to reclaim joy in their lives. Together we spoke about privilege and some of the limitations it imposes, the various blind spots built into the human potential movement, some of the impediments to apprehending privilege, and how not to get stuck in guilt and shame while grappling with the challenge of confronting racism.

I Just Wanna Dance

I just wanna dance, no more talking now
I just wanna dance, no more standing around
I just wanna dance
Don’t try to stop me now
Don't try to stop me now
Don't try to stop

Where the music leads, I will follow
With my funky heart
And my funky soul

I just wanna dance with freedom and passion
I just wanna dance with beautiful abandon
I just wanna dance
Don’t try to stop me now
Don't try to stop me now
Don't try to stop

Where the music leads I will follow 
With my funky heart 
And my funky soul

I wanna dance with life
I wanna dance with love
I wanna rise below
I wanna sink above
I’ve got everything to win
I’ve got everything to lose
Watch me now
I just wanna move

I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with all of you
I just wanna dance
Don't try to stop us now
Don't try to stop us now
Don't try to stop

Where the music leads we will follow 
With our funky hearts 
And our funky souls

Move it
