SUMMARY:RAZA Mystical Song Circle with Chana Raskin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of soul-deep, devotional communal song led by Chana Raskin in her first Bay Area event since the release of her path-breaking album KAPELYA, which features an all-women ensemble singing Chabad nigunim traditionally sung only by men.\nThis RAZA_circle will be a deep dive into the world of nigun (mystical wordless melodies), and a voice-driven improvisational listening project, where we’ll drop in to touch our inner voices and the healing power of collective song. Come as you are, and be embraced by the power of heart-opening melody and prayer.\nThis RAZA_circle is open to all. Please bring your heart and voice — this is an evening of collective song, not a concert or performance.\nFree for members, $18 donation for non-members.\n6pm – Potluck dinner and Q&A with Chana Raskin (outdoors)730pm – RAZA Mystical Song Circle led by Chana Raskin9pm – Tea lounge for integration and connection in community (indoors and outdoors)\nThis event is now sold out!

These nigunim have carried her at every point on her journey. Her debut album KAPELYA ( https://www.instagram.com/razacircle/?img_index=1 ) was released by Rising Song Records in February 2023, followed by sold-out concerts in NYC and Jerusalem. \n															\n		Leading the tea lounge, Laura Rubin is a certified Clinical Herbalist and Holistic Gut Health Coach, local to the Bay Area. Her passion is to promote holistic wellness for the mind-gut connection: focusing on digestion, stress, sleep, energy and hormonal health.  This is the second time Laura has brought her healing and nourishing tea to Chochmat and we are so lucky to have her!    She hosts many workshops including ancestral Jewish herbalism.
