Kirtan Rabbi


Kirtan Rabbi Andrew Hahn

Kirtan Rabbi (Rabbi Andrew Hahn, Ph.D.) is a musician, martial artist, performer and world-engaged rabbi whose music is characterized by great energy, passion and melodic flow. His music seeks to convey sonically the universal truth which is at the core of all spiritual traditions. Kirtan Rabbi, or Reb Drew (as he is lovingly called), weaves traditional Jewish prayer, poetry, Kabbalah and musical modes together by adapting vibrational Hebrew to the increasingly popular call-and-response chant form from India known as Kirtan. He has also practiced and taught tai chi and related martial arts for almost forty years. He thus brings a variety of tools – teaching, music, bodyfullness meditation -- to introduce Jewish Wisdom to an increasingly global, religious village. He has three CDs, a fourth on the way, and special single, Shiviti, designed for Shavasana.
