Sacred Music and Ritual Director - Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks
Biography
Inspired by Martin Buber’s writing while procrastinating from piano practice at High School Jazz camp, Brian Yosef began a quest for finding the inner truths of Judaism, beyond dogmas and tradition. Finding that Truth ironically led him back to tradition. Brian Yosef currently teaches meditation and Jewish spirituality at Chochmat HaLev, where he serves as sacred music and ritual music director. He holds a Bachelor in Music from Eastman and received s’micha as a Jewish meditation teacher from Chochmat HaLev. His band, Captain Zohar, plays original Jewish devotional and concert music. He lives in Oakland with wife Lisa and two children, to whom he owes constant gratitude for keeping him far from cheap, egocentric substitutes for G-d. |
