I am overjoyed to welcome “at the edge of the unknown,” my brand new CD, into the world! It brings together twelve songs of loving, longing, and wholehearted living and I do believe this is my best Torah to date — the fullest expression of my song-offering to the world.
“At the edge of the unknown” includes the voices of a community chorus I helped bring together as well as song written in collaboration with residents of an assisted living facility and folks facing severe mental illness. The songs are mostly in English, plus some Hebrew, and just a touch of Aramaic. You can listen to the title track here:

Songs have flowed through me since I was a little girl making up melodies to the stories my parents read me. I learned to play guitar as a teenager because that was the best way to get a place in the song circle and share my songs. Through college, graduate school, and rabbinical school, singing and writing songs and performing whenever I could was a constant. Now my songwriting feels of-a-piece with the rest of my voice-finding work in the world. I carry my songs with me and they carry me in turn.
