AdirChai
AdirChai Haberman-Browns is the founder and leader of Kula Liba, a Jerusalem-based community that explores the nexus of Tefila, music, movement, and ritual.
In his personal life, he is on a journey towards devotion-filled Jewish life, a path that is reflected in the shared spirit of Kula Liba.
The spiritual and emotional experience that arises from Tefila, Torah study, Chaggim, and life cycle events, serves as his compass in creating meaningful and relevant Jewish experience.
For AdirChai, the return to the Land of Israel calls for a renewed exploration of Jewish spirituality. The connection between the the Hebrew language, the Jewish calendar and the seasons, which serve as the foundation for the Jewish holidays, provides a deeper experience of the yearly cycle and Jewish life.
In addition, Jewish sovereignty in this Land raises challenges that we have both the privilege and responsibility to face within our spiritual world.
After completing his studies in philosophy, economics, and political science at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, AdirChai embarked on a path of deepening his Jewish spirituality, beginning with the study of North Indian classical music in Varanasi, India.
The musical and spiritual traditions of India, combined with Sufi traditions and the traditions of the Middle East and Central America, form the roots of original contemporary Jewish music and ritual.
Beyond his work in Israel, AdirChai has been active in North America since 2015, leading Tefilot on the High Holy Days, serving as an artist-in-residence in various communities, and offering music, teachings, and workshops at gatherings and festivals across the continent.
AdirChai leads Tefilot, retreats, workshops, concerts, teaches Hasidut, and facilitates life cycle rituals and ceremonies. Contact him if you would like to make the event of your community, family, organization or conference, even more special.
Tefila, Ceremonies and Performances
The original music of AdirChai, together with melodies from the worlds of piyyut and nigun, creates a unique, touching, and powerful space for all participants. He can be booked alone for an intimate event or for a full performance with an ensemble of up to eight musicians, bringing the prayers and ceremonies of Kula Liba to your community.
Workshops, Conferences, and Retreats
AdirChai teaches and conducts workshops in communities and organizations outside Kula Liba. From a workshop on spiritual intimacy or a musical journey into the book of Tehilim, to an ecstatic "Four Elements" session following ancient Jewish pilgrimage, AdirChai's workshops add unique content to your event, providing participants a moving and meaningful experience along with a space for personal expression and communal creation.
Life Cycle Rituals
As part of the journey toward meaningful Jewish life, AdirChai designs unique life cycle rituals: Britot, B’mitzvahs, engagements, weddings, birthdays, life milestones and more. These rituals are original creations that combine Jewish tradition with personal expression of the event's initiator. These rituals intentionally involve family and guests, offering a shared journey that is both meaningful and personal.
