Study Kabbalah and
Kabbalah Sound Prayer with Shulamit.
The Kabbalah teaches us
the mysteries of creation and how we can use these
mysteries in order to live correctly, thereby
enriching our lives and truly connecting to God.
Shulamit's students, in addition to their academic inquiries, use their lives (sorrows, pains, joys, limitations and gifts) as part of their lesson plan, along with the power of Kabbalah
Sound Prayer.

Kabbalah of Prayer is "the writing of a genuine spiritual teacher, a soul seemingly in true attunement with the divine, ego no longer the master.....There is not a trace in the writing of anything but that of one human soul speaking directly to another, unburdened by the mundane baggage of fears and desires. This book has universal appeal." Clement Jewitt, Editor Music&Psyche Journal
