At the Interface Between Poetry and Prayer

All Breathing Life Adores Your Name is a book of Jewish prayers composed as poems, exploring contemporary spirituality in English. Prayer is central to spiritual life, and Rabbi Zalman leads the reader to new understandings and feelings as prayer.

These recordings were made over Skype using a Skype recorder and edited using a simple audio editor.  The intention is not to take away the centrality of the written word but rather to add the voice of the Master for the sake of posterity and inspiration.   Two of them (Niggun of the Ba’al Shem Tov and Words of Reb Yosef Yitzhak to the Melody of Reb Mikheleh) were copied from a pre-existing disk – At the Rebbe’s Table Vol 2 .   Two more were taken from Your Glory Shines , a collection of traditional and original songs designed to help in the process of T’shuva – encountering God in the mood of the High Holidays.  These two are: Ana B’Khoach sung to the arousing melody of the Rhizhiner Rebbe; and We are as Clay which includes a short introduction on how to face the Gates of Turning.
