THE SARAH & HAJAR SERIES
SACRED PRACTICE & POSSIBILITY AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF JUDAISM AND ISLAM
We’re delighted to invite you into a virtual immersion at the heart of Jewish and Muslim devotion. The Sarah and Hajar Series: Sacred Practice and Possibility at the Intersections of Judaism & Islam features conversations with spiritual leaders, artists, activists, scholars & more. While our series initially released during the shared sacred days of Passover and Ramadan, feel welcome to listen anytime!
The Sarah & Hajar Series is created in collaboration with Jewish Ancestral Healing podcast and the Center for Multi-Religious Studies at Starr King School for the Ministry, and is made possible by the generous support of Rise Up Initiative: Nurturing the Soul of Jewish Justice, by Ruach haMidbar: Spirit of the Desert, and by listeners like you!
We give great thanks for the sacred copperwork of Shahna Lax - her Shema / Shehada plate is featured in our cover image, and for Rabbi Tirzah Firestone for the gift of this exquisite piece. And with much appreciation to Hamed Habibpour for the sweetest santor instrumental that is the tapestry of our sonic welcome for each episode.
Illumination at the Threshold by Shahna Lax, weaving Arabic from the Hadith: Al Janatu tahta akdam il uma'at, “Paradise/the garden lies under the feet of the mothers", with Hebrew from Psalms: Or Zaruah / ‘Light is Planted.’
