Getting to know Miriam Bursky-Tammam: Miriam is a Hazanit and Mekonenet whose mizrachi family heritage traversed Libya, Turkey and Morocco. She shares sound immersion therapy and chant with singing bowls that are rooted in a blended tradition of European and Middle Eastern liturgies. Our Shabbaton Sh’ma Koleinu שמע קולינו Hear our Voice introduces elements of healing meditation and chant with singing bowls and sound immersion therapy as we seek transformation through the month of Elul towards the renewal of our new beginning ~ Rosh Hashanah.
