Who Are We?
Founded in 1995, Shir Ha-Yam (Song of the Sea) has grown from a small group of friends to a community that has monthly Saturday Shabbat services, Friday night meditation, and chant circle using Rabbi Shefa Gold's chants. We are a member of the international organization ALEPH, the Alliance for Jewish Renewal
Our history is rooted in the teachings of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, of blessed memory.
Taking the best of Jewish tradition, we enliven it with meditation, music, movement, and chanting.
