To this end, Khazzoom has released many original albums, videos, and books.From 1990-2010, Khazzoom was a trailblazing Jewish multicultural educator. She founded and directed numerous ground-breaking organizations - through which she educated Jewish community leaders and laypeople alike, about global Jewish history and heritage, and through which she radically transformed thinking and language about Jewish identity, community, education, and practice. In this capacity, she accomplished many firsts, including leading the first egalitarian Mizrahi/Sephardi services and developing the first curriculum about Jewish communities across the globe.Today Khazzoom leads two musical projects: Iraqis in Pajamas combines Iraqi Jewish prayers with original alternative and punk rock, and Shaddai Chants is a New Age take on Iraqi Jewish chants, for use in sacred dance practice, meditation, yoga, massage, and sleep.
