"The Kiss of God is the melting of self
into Other, and both into pure bliss.
This is the awakening that the
soul desires." ~beautiful words from Yishakeni

Kabbalah Kirtan is a pleasant surprise and a worshipful collection of songs that are passionately holy and spiritual in beauty. Your heart can truly feel the light of love and experience a lightening of the load of the world's cares as you fall into a musical embrace of worship.

This is a collection of songs designed to encourage unity with God and YofiYah's voice is like a portal into another dimension where you feel close to God and experience an all-encompassing feeling of love.

Frame drum, wind chimes, tabla, madal, sarangi, finger cymbals, harmonium, electric guitar, oud, bansuri, flute and vocals mingle to produce a liberating ecstasy the soul recognizes as spiritual joy or a sigh of the heart falling into happiness. The liner notes explain the Hebrew chants so you can experience the deeper meanings in the lyrics as your soul opens up into a spacious beauty.

"Within the heart of love
is compassion.
Within the heart of compassion
is peace." ~words from Oseh Shalom

Kabbalah Kirtan is transformative in that it takes you from the mediocre and mundane and lifts you to a higher spiritual plane where you enter into a worship of the divine. YofiYah's voice is delicate and yet powerful in its awakening power. She brings a beautiful feminine energy to her music in a similar way to how Jai Uttal infuses his music with peace. This type of music crosses all religious and cultural boundaries and truly does unify and create a state of peace through contemporary spiritual practice.

This is a very interesting CD. It provides a choice for me and others who are seeking a better spirituality: that is, one rooted in our own judeo-christian tradition. The songs are beautifully written.
