Yoga Shalom
Yoga Shalom is the spiritual and physical embodiment of daily prayer. The unique prayerbook/cd/dvd is due to be published by URJ Books and Music in November. Written by Lisa with Carol Krucoff, the entire one hour and fifteen minute worship practice is accompanied by specially composed and selected music recorded and compiled by Cantor Lisa. Participants move through the worship service experiencing the healing and renewing practice of yoga, narration, powerful music, breathing, chanting, meditation, relaxation and healing. Yoga Shalom is for everyone and can be done sitting in a chair. Whether it is your first experience with Yoga or you are a regular practitioner, you will leave Yoga Shalom revived, renewed and refreshed, ready to take on the day!

Soulful Shabbat Ruach
Soulful Shabbat Ruach
Soulful Shabbat Ruach is an entire original Shabbat Evening Service written by Cantor Lisa Levine for her choirs, bands and congregation. It was created to appeal to young and old alike, people of different faith backgrounds and inclusiveness. Most of the prayers are set in both Hebrew and English and meld a variety of styles including gospel, country, folk, Chassidic, Klezmer and Ladino.
All of the choral arrangements for the songs on Soulful Shabbat Ruach are available at www.Oysongs.com. The accompanying band book is available from www.urjbooksandmusic.com digitally or in book form. When you bring Lisa to your congregation, she will be sharing her music with you as well as her inspiration and insights about her writing. She will work with you, your staff and your bands and choirs to create a truly unique worship experience.
The service easy to learn, play and sing and your congregation and Lisa brings her heartfelt celebration of Shabbat to new levels of joy and truly puts the “Jew” in jubilation!
My Songs For The Jews of Cuba
This one hour concert takes audiences around the world through Jewish music. In 2006 Lisa performed a concert in Havana, Cuba, where she adapted a concert of Jewish folksongs that she thought the Jewish community there would like. The reaction was so great, that when she returned to the states, she recorded a CD especially for the Jews of Cuba. The concert begins with Ladino songs, moves to Yiddish folk songs, Cantorial gems and ends with favorite Hebrew melodies. Paired with her narration about her trips as the first woman cantor to perform in Cuba, audiences have been riveted by her story and stylistic renderings of the favorite songs of the Jewish people.
Jospel: The Jewish Gospel Experience Concert
Jospel: The Jewish Gospel Experience Concert
The word "Jospel" is the combination of the Jewish and Gospel styles of music. Over the past 18 years, Lisa's work with Interfaith, African American and Jewish choirs of all ages has inspired her to write music which melds these styles for use in community, Christian and Jewish worship settings. This concert features her original music in an uplifting, inclusive and inspiring set which includes singing, clapping and audience participation in the amazing Jewish Gospel Experience!
