About Us
Malka-Sima Pais
Director and Lead Educator of Moonlit Circle
Lead Organizer of the Purim High Council Project
Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator
Certified Shake Your Soul Dance Facilitator
Malka Sima’s passion for integrating the Kabbalistic teachings of Sarah Yehudit Schneider with neuroscience and Somatic therapeutic tools inspired her to spearhead Moonlit Circle: Community of A Still Small Voice. She has created a compassionate safe space for each person to show up with all of their parts, while engaging in experiential spiritual and Somatic practices, and exploring teachings on such topics as healing shame, healthy boundaries, embracing paradox, clarity and agency around what I really want, and radical acceptance for what is. Her goal is to bring personal and collective geula where transformation comes with ease, growth comes through joy, and healing happens on all levels.
In 1999, after graduating from Cornell University (where she studied Community Development) and becoming director of a grassroots organization in the inner city of Milwaukee, what Malka-Sima Pais thought would be an around-the-world-backpacking trip, turned into a life-changing, root-planting, tshuva-inspiring move to Israel. She now lives in the Golan Heights with her beloved husband and two lively teenage children. For over two decades, she has been a devoted student of Sarah Yehudit Schneider, whose Torah teachings and personal guidance inspire her work and life. Malka-Sima brings her playfulness, compassionate heart, embodied presence, and appreciation for diversity to all that she does, as she strives to slow down and connect to G!d consciousness in every moment.
Her own struggles with trauma and life-threatening illness led her to become a SomaSoul® Somatic and Relational Therapist and Educator, and Shake Your Soul® Dance Facilitator, where she guides women (both individually and in groups) towards calm, joy, and vitality. In her Shake Your Soul Dance classes, she guides a movement practice that relaxes your nervous system, energizes your body, and awakens your soul through a powerful, fluid dance repertoire set to world music. In her SomaSoul Therapy practice, she integrates the power of Body-Centered Gestalt Psychotherapy and Polyvagal Theory with the freedom of the expressive arts and movement, safe touch, laughter, meditative presence, thoughtful conversation, and emotional release, bringing harmony between body, mind, and soul. She helps her clients to come into profound connection to self, other, and beyond, access their Ruach haKodesh (divinely inspired intuition), and become free from what is preventing them from fully engaging in their lives.
In addition to her work with Moonlit Circle and as a Somatic Therapist, she is the Lead Organizer of the Purim High Council: A Powerful Meditation, Prayer, and Embodied Movement Happening (created by Sarah Yehudit Schneider) in which women around the world, harness the powerful lights available on Purim and direct them toward good, healing and Mashiach now.
If you are interested in hearing more about receiving support for challenges that you are facing and engaging more fully in life, Malka Sima has some slots available for new clients in her private Somatic Therapy practice, on Zoom and in the Golan Heights. Be in touch with her at malkasimapais@gmail.com to schedule a free 20-minute introductory meeting where you can ask your questions and get to know how she works.

Sarah Yehudit Schneider
Founding Director of A Still Small Voice
Author
Creator of the Moonlit Circle's Spiritual Path
Director of the Purim High Council Project
Sarah (Susan) Yehudit Schneider is one of our generations’ most unique and vibrant voices. She is recognized by a wide range of Torah scholars, spiritual seekers, teachers and students as an authentic embodiment of Torah learning and living. Her ability to translate abstract and complex concepts into an eloquent and common language as well as her deeply personal and prayerful approach to study, teaching, counseling and living has endeared many to her. Her vital contribution to Torah scholarship, women’s Torah, and the Jewish people as a whole continues to grow daily.
Sarah Yehudit has pursued the study and practice of religion, meditation, and comparative mysticism since the early seventies, and since 1981 has lived in Jerusalem and followed an Orthodox path of Jewish observance. She studied at Neve Yerushalayim where she completed the advanced learning program. She wrote and studied privately with Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, one of our generations’ most respected teachers of Chassidut and Kabbala. Before immigrating to Israel she received her bachelor’s degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Colorado in Boulder and worked as laboratory researcher for Celestial Seasonings Herb Tea Company.
She is the founding director of A Still Small Voice, a correspondence school that has enrolled hundreds of students since its inception in 1991. The school provides weekly teachings in classic Jewish wisdom to subscribers around the world. She is the founder of The Golden Thread, a homeopathic remedy based on Torah and kabbalistic sources. Sarah also hosts Meditation Retreats, guiding participants through traditional Jewish meditative practices and instructs them on how to harness the holy lights of Shabbat for healing and transformation. She has recently produced a series of Illustrated Video Teachings on Jewish Meditation that makes these teachings available to a wider audience. They can be viewed in the video section of this website.
She is the Director of the Purim High Council Project which is offering women from all over the world an uplifting and game-changing Meditation, Prayer, and Movement Happening on Purim, for the sake of healing, transformation, and Mashiach now. She is also the Spiritual Advisor and author of the Torah teachings that make up the core curriculum of the Moonlit Circle.
Sarah Yehudit writes and teaches in close cooperation with leading rabbanim and outreach professionals in Jerusalem. She has written Eating As Tikun, Purim Bursts, Purim Bursts 2, Kabbalistic Writings on the Nature of Masculine and Feminine, Evolutionary Creationism and You Are What You Hate and has published four journal articles in B’Or HaTorah called “The Evolving Feminine”, “Evolution, Form, and Consciousness,” “The Underside of Creative Expression,” and “The Daughters of Tslafchad, Toward a Methodology of Attitude around Women’s Issues.” An expanded version of this last article appears in the anthology, “Torah of the Mothers,” edited by Elper/Handelman, and published by Urim Press. She has also lectured and taught extensively at various institutions and conferences throughout Israel and the US.
Sarah Schneider currently resides in Jerusalem’s Old City where she spends her days studying, writing and teaching (both to groups and individuals).

I am Anne Seham and I call my work In The Presence of the Beloved. I offer a process of soulful self-discovery. For over 30 years I have been supporting my clients in reconnecting with the most profound essential parts of themselves, as well as reclaiming what has been exiled.
I offer this self-discovery through presence and creating sacred intimate safe space. I teach what I call witness consciousness, where you are encouraged to develop a deep loving compassionate holding for all parts of yourself. We do this through conscious conversation with the body, exploring somatic feelings, emotions, memories, painful places, wisdom and resources. Through the development of compassionate holding, your vessel grows and you have more resources available to hold both the challenges and beauty of your life.
I offer one-on-one hour sessions virtually and in person. If you feel you are looking for this kind of support on your journey, please be in touch with me. Anneseham@gmail.com. 972-547-661-696. facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077507433983.
