bless this belly laugh digest may we do good work and get good rest
bless these lungs expand contract may we breath life in exhale god back
bless this heart open wide strong hold and as we love may we be bold
bless this voice may we vibrate free seed transformative community
bless these lips may we kiss the sky and as we come together may we fly
bless this tongue may we taste so sweet abounding bliss each time we meet
bless this nose may each scent unfurl rememberings in all the worlds
bless these eyes may our gaze be clear perceive release and heal our fear
bless this brain beyond left and right spark possibility initiate insight
bless this body miracle yes may we live as one divine caress

Siddur HaKohanot: A Hebrew Priestess Prayerbook Companion Album
by Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute
supported by 7 fans who also own “Torah Tantrika”
I am an invested cantor through the Jewish Theological Seminary. I find this music, like Siddur haKohanot itself, to be nothing less than ground-breaking (no pun intended, given Earth-centered worship)...and powerfully inspired. A must-have for any lover of Jewish music or seeker of spiritual inspiration.

I’m a cantor with a Master of Sacred Music degree from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. (Just giving some street cred... ; ) Like Taya Ma, Shoshana Jedwab and others that I have yet to discover, Shir Yaakov has heralded the growing Jewish pantheon of those lifting up Shechinah - the Divine Feminine - from Her long repressed state. Kol Hakavod, R’ Shir - THIS is the future of Jewish music! It had me in tears... Toddah Rabbah - thank you! Mike Zoosman
