The Music

Shirat HaLev weaves a unique blend of Middle-Eastern, Asian, European, and American musical textures into a rich tapestry of passion and spiritual power. These recordings breathe new life into several traditional spirituals, and also features several fresh original songs that draw on diverse roots and reach into new territory.

The Artists

Chochmat HaLev Ensemble is a merry band of avant-kabbalists that enjoys making music for ecstatic and contemplative ritual. The group formed in early 2000 in Berkeley around the growing musical needs of a Jewish meditation community and has expanded to embrace all kinds of mystical and musical wanderings.

The Charities

25% of the profits from the sale of this CD benefit the charitable altruistic arts programs of CreatioNation, and the other 75% benefits Chochmat HaLev, a non-affiliated Jewish meditation center in Berkeley, California.
