About Kirtan Rabbi

Rabbi (Andrew Hahn) is one of a new breed of cutting-edge, artist-rabbis whose joyful music and teachings address the deepest longings of the 21st century. He unites celebration of Torah and song in a way that allows people of all ages (and faiths) to discover renewed energy within their Jewish or spiritual practice. A long time martial arts instructor with a doctorate in Jewish philosophy, Rabbi Hahn laces his simple, alluring chants with meditation techniques and traditional learning.

Kirtan Rabbi visits synagogues, JCCs, college campuses and yoga centers internationally and has been in-residence at Shabbatonim, multi-day retreats and West Coast festivals. He is equally at home singing with a small circle, co-leading a Kabbalat Shabbat service, or bringing a full-on, rocking concert to the big stage.

Rabbi Hahn received rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion and earned a Ph.D. from the Jewish Theological Seminary, both in New York City.

He has two musical CDs: Kirtan Rabbi: Live!, recorded at New York’s fabled Congregation B’nai Jeshurun on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, “sets the standard in Hebrew Kirtan” (Chant Artist David Newman); the recently released, studio production, Achat Sha’alti (one thing I seek) is “inspiring from start to finish….Exquisitely simple in its message of love, longing and celebration” (Rabbi Shefa Gold).
