Shabbat Shalom. You might like Shefa Gold, she has a big chanting community - ha, a big community who chant, who learn to chant, who go to retreats with her to chant. The bursting into tears thing is a thing, for sure. It happened to me as I sat in the back of a morning prayer service at a Jewish Institute for Spirituality retreat. I was in the back because prayer wasn't interesting to me. Then, the music slayed me. And then, to top it off, I had to send one of the staff out for sanitary products, which was a shock because I thought menopause was waaaay in the rear view mirror. Tears and blood, with a little bit of sweat to make it complete.
Shabbat Shalom! There are amazing Kabbalistic chants you might also enjoy. If you have the app Insight Timer, check out Yehuda Ashkenazi or on your music platform, the Yehuda Ashkenazi Project. He started as a musician before he turned to Kabbalah. 🫂 I’m with you. Sounds and music are a great path to peace and spirituality.
