About this listen

Shekhinah Speaks is an effort to give voice to the Shekhinah, described in mystical Jewish tradition as the immanent, feminine aspect of God who dwells with human beings and shares our feelings and experiences.

Tradition imagines the Shekhinah as a passive, mostly silent presence. These poems tune in to a Shekhinah who never stops talking.

Her language is sampled from chapters of the Book of Isaiah and Cosmopolitan articles whose content resonates with one another (the source texts are indicated by the epigraphs).

While the twenty-two poems (one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet) are presented in sequence, as human conventions require, to the Shekhinah, who exists outside time and space, they are all being spoken to each of us simultaneously, at every moment of our lives which, from her perspective, happen continuously, and forever.
