Aleph Kallah for a four day afternoon immersive class

West Chester University, PA

PM206: Kirtan Chant as Connective Prayer

Rabbi Andrew Hahn, Ph.D. (Kirtan Rabbi) and Shoshana Jedwab

Four sessions—Tuesday through Friday—each lasting 2.5 hours

In this four-day class, we will explore through chanting, breath exercises, voice work, rhythm and bodily movement avenues of (re-)connection in the post-Zoom era. The goal will be, together, to create a leaderless sound bath of prayer and easy vibrational meditation, utilizing kirtan and other chant modalities. Kirtan Rabbi and Shoshana Jedwab will be joined by vocal expert and prayer leader Renee Finkelstein. No knowledge of Hebrew is required to benefit fully from this class—just an eagerness to experiment and join. All are welcome to join a community-wide evening kirtan concert.
