Rabbi shefa gold biography of christopher
Rabbi gold
This website focuses on the rabbinate of Rabbi Shefa Gold. She does this work through writing, developing and leading chants, presenting workshops, leading SOULIFT , meditation retreats, pilgrimages to sacred sites, and serving as scholar-residence for communities and conferences world-wide. See the Schedule page for her current public commitments.
A big part of her work is the deepening and ongoing advanced training of Kol Zimra alumni through retreats, personal coaching, on-line classes, and group healing work. Chant is the bridge between the inner life and the outer expression; between the solitary practice and the shared beauty of fellowship. When we chant we are using the whole body as the instrument with which to feel the meaning of the sacred phrase.
You can read her biography and many of her writings on this site. Some of her creative talent manifests as published books. You can buy them online on the Books store page. Additionally, this site is a repository for the chants that she has developed for many years. These chants are available in written form, as audio files to listen to, and, in some cases, as videos.
To do the work, Rabbi Gold relies on a network of Kol Zimra alumni, other people, and other Jewish organizations.
