Shaykh Issa Nessim Baba has been playing at Chochmat HaLev since he was a teenager.  Now a leader of his own services, he brings his own gentle wisdom and deep teaching.  A native of California, Issa spent ten years between there and Turkey as a young adult focusing on studying the rich tradition of Turkish Classical music, as well as learning Sufi music in the centuries-old Sufi lodges of Istanbul. 

Chochmat members receive FREE High Holy Day tickets as part of their membership (a $380 value).

If Chochmat has nourished you spiritually and you believe in our mission, this is a perfect time to give back!
