<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Spiritual people share their thoughts about Joy Krauthammer and her gift of music</span></strong>:</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Joy uplifts the spirit through her ecstatic drumming and timbrels as she plays for the Glory of G*d. A Jewish woman, with her heart as wide as the ocean, Joy cares deeply about her People and all of humanity."</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>- Reb Hesha Abrams, Dallas, Texas</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Many recite the words Psalm 150, <em>'Praise G*d with the Drums</em> ...' </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>I know only a few people who really drum for G*d's sake; Joy Krauthammer is among the the first of them."</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>- Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, co-author of "Jewish With Feeling"</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>- Sharon Alexander, Director, Shir Ecstasy Jospel Choir</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>- Christine Stevens, Director, REMO Drum's Health Rhythms; author, Healing Drum Kit</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Joy is a consummate musician and has a profound passion and energy for her work. When Joy brings in her percussion instruments and participates for the last nine years in our Lev Eisha women's services, she adds layers of spirituality, joy and fun.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Her music, and presence adds a deep abiding spiritual dimension to our service.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Joy's playing, and her ecstatic spirit and joyous personality add so much to Lev Eisha, and we would not be the same without her. Always reliable, she is consistently adding energy to our prayers enabling us to dance and sing at all our services. We love joy."</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>- Rabbi Toba August, Lev Eisha, Adat Shalom. Academy of Jewish Religion, LA.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Joy, Gila Rena Tzohara, is <em>Mamash Gevaldt</em>; Double Joy and Light, my sweetest percussionist and holy sister."</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Joy, a woman with a deep soul, is playing for the congregations to help bring them to praise the Source of All Blessings. ...Joy has a faith gene and her soul resonates with the beauty in all the places she goes to." </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>- Roberto Loiederman, LA Jewish Journal</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>"Joy performed a heart opening/awakening, and ethereal piece on Tibetan and crystal singing bowls. My heart chakra was activated and it was deeply moving. Joy is an eclectic mix of gypsy, faery, and angel, and her music shimmers just like her lavender, gold-speckled scarves." </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><strong>- Kris Oster, Producer, Gaia Festival</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />

"If a woman does not keep pace with her companions, perhaps it is because she hears a different drummer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let her step to the music which she hears, however measured or far away."<br />
- Henry David Thoreau <br />
<br />
"...It was a goddess who transmitted to humans the gift of making music. In Sumer and Mesopotamia it was Inanna and Ishtar; in Egypt it was Hathor; in Greece, the nine-fold goddess called the Muse. Musical, artistic and poetic inspiration was always thought to spring from the Divine Feminine. One of the main techniques for connecting to this power of inspiration was drumming.<br />
<br />
"The drum was the means our ancestors used to summon the goddess and also the instrument through which she spoke. The drumming priestess was the intermediary between divine and human realms. Aligning herself with sacred rhythms, she acted as summoner and transformer, invoking divine energy and transmitting it to the community...." <br />
- Layne Redmond (Joy's teacher since the late 1980's.) Author, <u>When the Drummers Were Women</u>.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #030000; font-family: Arial;">Women particularly of Lev Eisha and also N'Shama Minyan (at Valley Beth Shalom) recognize timbrels
that we all play as percussion instruments similar to the frame drums (maybe
without jingles) that Miriyahm HaNeviah and the women used during the
Exodus. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For the
past couple decades, I play <i>ting
shas </i>as part of my percussion repertoire. (I play them specifically as
I learned in prayer from Rabbi Hanna Tiferet Siegel.) Most people don't know
about ting shas. I even mistook ting shas for belly-dancing <i>zills</i> (which
I used to use when dancing).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Two
decades ago, 1992, on a Sephardic tour to many countries to explore synagogue
architecture <i>(which I'd just been studying at Jerusalem's Hebrew University)</i>, I bought
zills in Turkey for my dancing. But, I mistakenly also thought they were
the percussion instruments that I was looking for. <i> (I also bought
delicious baklava.) </i>Zills are worn as a pair on two fingers of each hand.
Ting shas, two heavier and larger concave metal saucers, when played
are connected to each other by a (leather) cord and held and clashed together
by the cord. Although Asian cymbals, they resonate the way cymbals would have
when played during ancient biblical Temple times. I can <i>mamash</i> /
truly imagine that I am in the Jerusalem Temple when I play. When I play
timbrel, I visualize that I'm with Miriyahm and the women. <i>How
about you? </i></span></div>

<span style="color: #030000; font-family: Arial;">Reading the following article excerpt on Percussion, I thought that the women of the Minyans could appreciate the connections between now and
Temple times. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">"Percussion
Instruments in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures", is a chapter
excerpt on the web authored by French Jewish woman, Suzanne Haik-Vantoura,
and informs about percussion from Temple times. <b>Enjoy</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">"The
only percussion instruments allowed to accompany psalm-singing were the cymbals
(cf. <i>1 Chronicles 25:1</i> ), which were always used in pairs. In
the accounts relating to the transport of the Ark of the Covenant, the cymbals
are called either <b><i>metsiltayim</i></b> (<i>1 Chronicles 15:9</i>)
or <b><i> tsiltsilim</i></b> (<i>1 Samuel 6:5</i>). The former
are explicitly said to have been made of bronze. In Psalm 150:5 the
latter are called <b><i>tsiltselê shamah</i></b> and <b><i>tsiltselê
teru`ah</i></b>, respectively -- apparently referring to two types of cymbals
with different tone or resonance qualities (and therefore different sizes or
shapes). <i>Harper's Bible Dictionary</i> ("Music", p. 670)
informs us of "small bronze cymbals 4 to 6 inches in diameter, which may
have been played with an up-and-down motion..." Whereas <i>Music
in the Ancient World</i> (section "Ancient Israel") tells us
that the cymbals "are a pair of concave metal saucers clashed together
either vertically or horizontally. In the excavations at Hazor, Megiddo, Akhziv
and others, various types of cymbals have been found with diameters ranging
from three to ten centimeters."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
