Here is a collection of pieces that I have written that celebrate women and girls at the centre of Jewish ritual:
- B’ruchah Haba’ah (Blessed Is She) – baby blessing for a girl. There is a companion piece which, in English version can also be for a girl: ‘In your light, we see light’ (Nir’eh Or)
- Kumi Lach Rayati (Rise Up, My Love) – verses (and part verses) from Song of Songs were carefully selected and reordered so that this could celebrate the wedding of two women friends of mine; full versions in Hebrew or English, including a full piano part, or just guitar chords, this has arrangements for solo or duet
- Libavtini Achoti Chalah (You have ravished my heart, my sister) – verses (and part verses) from Song of Songs were carefully selected and reordered so that this could celebrate the wedding of two women friends of mine
- Your People Will Be My People (Song of Ruth) – this has arrangements for solo or duet
In addition, these can be sung at a wedding for two women, or for a transgender wedding:
- Mi Adir – a uni-sex wedding text that can be sung for any combination of partners
- V’erastich Li (I betroth you to me) – a uni-sex wedding text that can be sung for any combination of partners; including Hebrew and English sections, and a full piano part, this has arrangements for solo or duet
Here is a poem dedicated to the Shekhinah and the Feminine:
