Rahel is a compassionate, insightful, sensitive, versatile award-winning performing guitarist, vocalist, recording artist, songwriter and healing artist. In her own words, “Music, for me, has been a gateway to experiencing life and cultures from around the world.

 Acoustic-eclectic-ambient-folk-ethnic-world-roots music with hints of jazz, Middle East blends, further East mantras and sometimes driving rhythms and sometimes gentle sounds.

Beautiful progressive guitar-driven grooves fuse jazz, folk, rock and world rhythms & strong expressive vocals to create a wealth of unique "free-verse" style award-winning songs. 

RAHEL has been playing guitar since she was 14. Early influences from the American folk music revival of the ‘60's and the ‘70's Woodstock era combine with a wealth of world traditions, sounds and rhythms that have become integral to Rahel’s hypnotic sound. Rahel grew up in 1960’s New England surrounded by the beautiful finger styles of James Taylor and Paul  Simon, the perfect synchronicity of Peter Paul & Mary, the complex simplicity of Bob Dylan's prolific social commentary, the open tunings of Mary McCaslin and Joni Mitchell and the exquisite vocal harmonies & creative meanderings of Crosby Stills & Nash. She learned their music and then created her own. The psychedelic sounds of the 1970's, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and Santana fed more fuel to her fire. World travels and living in Israel tuned Rahel's musical ears to a fusion of diverse multi-cultural blends of Jewish, Israeli, Middle Eastern rhythms and an array of world roots sounds that can be heard in Rahel's music today. Living and working in South Korea expanded Rahel's musical and cultural sensitivity and versatility.

 Rahel moved to Israel in 1976 from Boston and immediately became an integral member of Israel's budding folk music community. She performed in duos, trios, with the "Jerusalem Folk" bluegrass band and worked as a musician at the Train Theater in Jerusalem. She also acted in children's theater productions. 

  Rahel became a founding member of the all-woman band, "Tofa'ah" in 1980 and co-founded the "Tof Miriam" organization in support of women musicians in Israel. In 1986 she founded the Israel branch of the "Listen Like Learn/Your Baby Needs Music Association". 

   An award-winning singer-songwriter, Rahel performed annually for two decades at the Jacob's Ladder International Folk Festival and in popular venues throughout Israel. She has toured and recorded worldwide. Her most recent projects include a collaborative tour in South Africa with the traditional a cappella singing group "Amavevane Acapella" with whom she co-founded "The Healing Light Project" sharing cultures and traditions through music. 

   Most recently Rahel lived in South Korea (2018-2022) working as a musician, actor, model and English language vocal coach. You can see her in a number of Korean movies, dramas, commercials and advertisements.  

   Rahel is a Certified Clinical Musician (CCM) serving in hospice, senior facilities, hospitals and alternative health centers. She is currently completing a certification course as a life coach at the Refuah Institute in Jerusalem.
