"Integral" means keeping the best from past tradition, while integrating inclusivity, egalitarianism and universalism, transcending dogmas and out-dated belief systems, and fostering an experiential connection with Jewish spirituality based on the cultivation of heart-centered awareness. 

Reb Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks is a rabbi and a musician. He has been teaching Jewish spirituality to children and adults since 2000, and founded the online Jewish Meditation community, Torah of Awakening, in 2016. He is the author of Kabbalah for Beginners published by Rockridge Press.

Reb Brian Yosef received rabbinic s’miha (ordination) in the Renewal tradition and lineage of Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi z”l  through Rabbi David Zaslow and a group of rabbis at Havurah Shir Hadash in Ashland, Oregon in 2023. Prior to that, he received ordination as Minister of Sacred Music from Reb Zalman z”l  (2012), Spiritual Teacher from Shaykh Ibrahim Baba Farajaje (may his secret be sanctified) and Rabbi SaraLeya Schley (2012), certification as Teacher of Jewish Meditation from Dr. Rabbi Avram Davis (2004), and holds a Bachelor in Music from the Eastman School of Music (1991).

Lisa Schachter-Brooks has been a Jewish educator, ritualist and community builder for over 30 years and has served diverse populations within the Jewish community. She currently serves as the Congregational & Education Director at our beloved home shul of Congregation Bet Shalom in Tucson where she is excited to be launching a new school for youth and families.
