Kirtan Rabbi: Mystical Hebrew Chant (Rabbi Andrew Hahn Ph.D.) from Kirtan Rabbi on Vimeo.

Hebrew Kirtan is participatory chanting where short, sacred phrases from the Jewish tradition are treated as powerful, universal meditations It is at once contemplative, ecstatic, and mind expanding fun! Just as you don't have to speak Hindi or be Hindu to take part in yoga, you donthave to speak Hebrew or be Jewish to take part in Hebrew Kirtan..
