The Ruach
Episode description
Featuring: Peter Levinson, Co-founder and Lead Guitarist
“There had to be a transformation of understanding…. that’s what the Ruach has done for me,” describes Peter, during our discussion of the Keva and Kavana, Jewish elements of prayer. He continues to say, we really believe that giving people a real strong feeling of who they are, and a sense of confidence and they’ll do the right thing”
