Cantor Levine,
I often wondered where you landed after leaving Kansas City, especially since I left shortly before you did.

Your music was always a great inspiration to me and one could not help but look forward to attending Shabbat!

Thank you for so many wonderful memories, I can only hope to experience your music again...

Cantor Lisa, Thank you so much for your beautiful music at Shabbat services last night. Your program notes about the songs we sing are so informative. The one above your rendition of MiSheberach reminded me that I met Cantor Stuart Pittle when he was a song leader at the 1996 Kallah at Santa Cruz, CA, along with Jeff Klepper and Debbie Friedman. Joining them in song was an amazing experience. I understand that it was Cantor Pittle's first and, sadly, his last Kallah. Your MiSheberach dedicated to his memory has become a lasting memorial. I know it is sung at my former temple in Pittsburgh, PA, Temple Sinai. (Sinai's guitar-playing rabbi, Jamie Gibson, is a URJ 60's camper, one of many who were inspired by that camp movement and, especially, Debbie Friedman).

Hi Lisa-
Was thinking about you and wondered if you are on facebook? Our whole family is on there now and would be great to keep in touch. Mom is doing well - she is in Cazenovia NY for the summer. Hope you and your family are doing great!

Thank you Cantor Lisa for an amazing year. Getting to sing with you in the Youth Choir made me work hard. But I learned so much! The last day of school we had a talent show for our grade and I sang one of the songs you taught me. People couldn't stop clapping.
Love Dana

DeJuana and I are so proud of you. We constantly hear your name from friends who meet you in the airport or other churches; your witness and love for God is evident everywhere you go -- not just in the temple. Peace and blessings.

Yoga Shalom (Book, DVD, and CD)

Yoga Shalom (Book, DVD, and CD)

Purchase!

Yoga Shalom is Book/DVD/CD which presents a unique worship experience that brings together body, mind, and spirit for an extraordinary prayer service. Combining the two powerful spiritual disciplines of Jewish worship and yoga practice, Yoga Shalom leads to deeper understandings of both, or as author Lisa Levine writes of her initial forays into yoga as a cantorial student, “I learned to be more present in my prayers and meditations so I could better pray with and on behalf of my congregation.”

Yoga Shalom can be adapted and the postures customized for your congregation, studio, or private practice, and can be done in the community of a class or in the privacy of your own home. As an alternative to the traditional prayer service, Yoga Shalom can engage and unite your professional staff, lay leadership, and community. Whether you have no yoga experience or have been practicing for years, and regardless of your age or abilities, Yoga Shalom will help you relax your body, calm your mind, and nurture your spirit.

Yoga Shalom brings Jewish worship into sharp focus by clearly explaining each of the prayers, their connections to yoga and context of the service as well as kavannot, interpretive writings which add depth and creativity to each chapter.

Features:
• Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions
• Dozens of photographs
• Advanced, gentle, and chair modifications for each posture sequence
• 17-track CD to accompany your practice, featuring the music of well-known Jewish artists Craig Taubman, Jeff Klepper, Lisa Levine, and many more
• Full-length DVD of the complete practice

Worship Service for Body and Soul
Yoga Shalom is a worship service for body and soul that combines the ancient practice of yoga with the ancient prayers of Judaism. In Yoga Shalom, traditional yoga poses are matched to the traditional Sabbath and morning blessings and incantations. The program, dubbed an embodiment of prayer, was developed several years ago by Lisa Levine, an American cantor, and debuted at the Crescentwood synagogue last winter.

Yoga Program Gives Spiritual Connection to Judaism
Yoga instructor and cantor Lisa Levine of Temple Shalom in Chevy Chase, Maryland, led the group through Yoga Shalom, which she said is a "journey of healing and a journey of revival," and told them they will be "looking at prayer and worship a different way." They will unlock feelings, memories and emotions, she said. "We're going to feel the prayer inside."
