“Rabbi Pamela was with us for a gathering of the Dervish Healing Order on Mount Shasta in June 2011, and she presented a Hebrew Zikr (a repetitive prayer-chant using names of the Divine). It was the most powerful of all of our gatherings and everyone wanted it repeated. I mention this because her prayer-Zikr works! It not only worked with Jews who are on other paths (Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu), but also with those who do not have a Jewish background. It was an amazing experience. All blessings, Hakim Sauluddin, Director, Dervish Healing Order of the Sufi Ruhaniat International
