Ketzirah Lesser

Geek. Stitch. Pray.

Hi! I’m Ketzirah - Gen-X (49), INTJ, Di, E-5, Manifesting Generator, Virgo ☀️ Libra 🌛 Leo 📈, Ravenclaw.

I’m a Jewish maker/teacher of the sacred arts, Kohenet, golem-maker, fiber & AI artist, Mussar-nik, recovering corporate priestess, and geek in all the good ways.

I live in DC with amazing husband, an enchanted stove, and 2 bunnies @wechewintheshadows on IG).

By day I work for a 3-letter agency. But it’s not the one you are thinking of.

I haven’t been checking in here nearly often enough, so pardon the return with promotion — but it is the last week of the Kickstarter campaign for my oracle deck!

If you’ve ever dreamed of an oracle deck that is Jewish, feminist, diverse, LGBTQ+ embracing, draws on ancient wisdom, dreams in future wisdom, and invites you into co-creation with many facets of the Divine…then maybe this deck is for you.

@eshton I love the concept of mitzvot as "sacred connective actions" -- using the Aramaic "tzavta" as the root, which means connection.

@arielbchapman totally fair! I mostly use it like a blogging platform.

@arielbchapman medium is okay, but Substack seems to be the place to be these days.

@redheadtrickster Art is art. It needs to be. Doesn't matter (except financially) if it's just for you.

Amazing to make prints of your work.

@koshercoonhound i would say this can’t possibly pass — but we are well beyond the bounds of reality these days.

Before we reach Tu B’Shevat, we have Shabbat Shirah -- Shabbat of Song — which is chock full of delicious practices.

What ideas do you have about honoring Shabbat Shirah?

@TheRaDR I think I am very happy to not know what this is referring to.

@sheepchase @statsjew @marbear_0 @serge @jmb I hope not. G!d/dess is beyond human definition. I would hope that any and all understandings would be welcome.

Did you miss this month's Soul Trait Studio?

That's okay! You can still work with the practice guide: devotaj.substack.com/p/soul-tr

Mussar is a Jewish practice of understanding and engaging YOUR soul’s curriculum to help fulfill your potential and repair the world in the process.

@chanele @sheepchase 1) Thank you! 2) you were? Yay!

I realize I never ask, "how do I know you" -- so I don't always connect folks with who they are online.

@sheepchase Have you explored options via Darshan Yeshiva?

darshanyeshiva.org

I know the folks who started that, even used to teach a class there. I know they have a variety of conversion training options.

@adar @sheepchase hadar.org/tefillah-music is also a great resource for mainstream liturgical music.
