omana'ya is a new title for a spiritual leader specializing in jewish ritual and prayer, initiated via "hamakom" institute in Israel, in the lineage of reb zalman schachter-shalomi.

omana'ya is the "ritual artist" whose art form is the creation of ritual and prayer events for life-cycle milestones, holy days and other transitional times. the Hebrew word "omana'ya" loosely translates as faith-artist-of-yah

our intention is to create meaningful, individualized ritual events that are both contemporarily relevant and are well-rooted in the jewish, and more ancient - hebraic - tradition. we re-source the hebraic in order to tap the essence of our ancestral ways: awakening to direct experience of the divine, sensuous & sacred embodiment, in tune with nature.

these leaders engage feminine pathways of creative processes and leadership, prayer and study, midwifing transformation and healing for both individuals and groups.

A message from keren:
Welcome to the omana'ya website! I invite you to peruse the intentions, services and resources offered here...and welcome your inquiries by phone or email. My dedication to this work is my particular path in supporting the evolution of humanity and the service of the light. In specific, this work currently centers on revealing and revitalizing the ancient tribal wisdoms of the pre-Judaic Hebrew spirituality. This center and my work is far from only for jewish people! While we have served many Jewish people in finding connection, beyond that, many who join us recognize we are serving the healing of the dogmatic and institutionalized lineage that stemmed from Hebrew spirituality, and necessarily constricted its fullness. The fullness of Hebrew heritage spirituality is in perfect synch with all wisdom traditions. In receiving the heritage in this way, we tap the universal truths the ancestors accessed, for the sake of the knowledge of essential oneness of all streams, all peoples and ALL. Thus, I offer ceremony, healing and teaching with universal spiritual principles as the basis...as well as offer Hebrew-lineage ceremony, healing and teaching. Either or both.

If you feel moved to join with me, or our community in any way, be in touch. We sing our songs with all who are coming along...

Blessings,
keren

"Keren Abrams echoes the voice of the ancestors. She brings clarity to the places in our souls that have been muddled by millennia of fear -- fear of others, fear of self, fear of real-time relating with the Mystery of all Mysteries. Her sacred dance spirals us into a weave that brings us enrichment and beauty, and connects us to Spirit. The resonance of her drum and chant reawakens within us a long-neglected memory of a time when we cared less about more, and did more about caring. Keren Abrams comes to her work with an integrity and intention sorely needed in our time."

Rabbi Gershon Winkler, Author of Magic of the Ordinary: Recovering the Shamanic in Judaism
