(Every year in Los Angeles, California, Joy Krauthammer helps organize with Valley Beth Shalom Cantor Herschel Fox and Senior Rabbi Ed Feinstein, and separately with Rabbi/Cantor Monty Turner and (former) Rabbi Debra Orenstein of Makom Ohr Shalom [as part of Daniel Pearl World Music Days], Reb Shlomo Carlebach, zt'l, Yahrzeit Memorial Farbrengans, to remember the legacy of our beloved Rebbe. In addition to playing percussion with the finest tribute musicians, as she did with Reb Shlomo, Joy loves to share with the congregations, her personal stories of Reb Shlomo Carlebach.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: monospace;"><a href="http://www.danielpearlmusicdays.org/events.php?SearchArtist=404">http://www.danielpearlmusicdays.org/events.php?SearchArtist=404</a></span> )<br />
<br />
Reb Shlomo Carlebach, zt’l held the key to our hearts and our spiritual being. It is with such great love, and great pain from the loss of Shlomo’s physical presence, that I share thoughts with the many thousands of Shlomo’s followers around the world.<br />
<br />
The first chief Rabbi of Israel, Rav Avraham Yitzhak Hakohen Kook, taught that the Third Temple will only be built because of infinite love. It is this very love that has permeated the world of Reb Shlomo Carlebach, Chasidic master, Torah scholar, composer, musician, and storyteller, and he has been preparing us for Mashiach. Personal stories have come forth since Shlomo’s passing to the next world, of the major difference the made in the lives of Jews and non-Jews. The homeless people, the beggars, ones who are also characters in Shlomo’s stories, have cried out in the streets, "<em>Our Rebbe has died</em>."<br />
<br />
Shlomo would go out to the parks at 2 AM and play music for his holy sisters and brothers. At scheduled concerts, Shlomo would not end his giving until 2 AM. I know because I had been in his Jerusalem audience until that hour, singing and dancing in ecstasy, and then taking a taxi back to the same Moriah hotel with Shlomo at 3 AM. (Another musician, guitarist singer Rabbi David Zeller, would push his baby in a carriage for the long walk.) Serving as Shlomo's percussionist in Los Angeles, I accompanied him until the wee hours on the stage (of synagogues, homes, a Jewish book store, a school, a club, a restaurant, a garden). Once, after we played fully for five magical hours, another musician said to me, "<em>I haven’t worked this hard (even) for paid gigs</em>."<br />

<br />
"<em><strong>You will always be my drummer</strong></em>," Reb Shlomo said to me. I look forward to having Shlomo greet me at the Heavenly Gates and also at the Third Temple so that I can again drum for him, shake my multi-colored ribboned timbrel, and give Shlomo the "harmony" he requested from us. My <em>neshama</em> / soul awakened and ascended higher as I received Shlomo’s Divinely inspired music. Here with Joy, transformed, I send up music for all my holy sisters and brothers to rejoice. (Note: I continue to play Shlomo’s music at <i>farbrengans,</i> and many of the younger musicians never met Shlomo and are devotees.)<br />
<br />
My dream, my vision to make music with Shlomo was actualized immediately after buying myself a drum in Israel and cymbals in Turkey. I had been inspired to play percussion while watching the co-founder of Shlomo’s Moshav Meor Modiin, Yankele Shames, playing ethnic metal <i>ting shas</i> while accompanying Shlomo in concert.<br />
<br />
Having never met Shlomo personally, I had traveled to Jerusalem to find Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. I had 'received' a message that I needed to do this. <i>Beshert </i>/ meant to be, the very day I arrived in Jerusalem, a banner high in the street proclaimed the upcoming concert; Jerusalem Theatre benefit performance for single parents. Wondrous awesome events happened to me beginning with that evening. I celebrated the next Shabbat with Shlomo and his <em>chevra /</em> spiritual community<em>,</em> <em>davenen</em> / praying at the Kotel alongside the <em>mechitza / </em>prayer gender separator, having Shabbat dinner in the Old City at Israelite, prepared by his Moshav, and learning late into the night. At that time, I didn’t understand why so many <em>talmidim</em> / students had become an entourage of groupies from America; I didn't understand who Shlomo was.<br />
<br />
From cities across America, Shlomo would call me in Northridge, California. When I asked him what he was doing in some particular, off the beat town, he would answer, "<em>A friend asked me to play for the inmates of this prison,"</em> or <em>"for the patients in the hospital</em>."<br />
<br />
Shlomo welcomed and did not refuse requests to bring light where there was darkness. One of the last major concerts Shlomo did here in Los Angeles was a benefit performance at Tatou nightclub in Beverly Hills, for the victims of the Northridge 1994 earthquake. Shlomo raised our consciousness, and we raised needed funds for the Jewish Federation Council. <i>(See photos)</i><br />
<br />
There was never time for proper public relations (and with my MBA, I <i>mamash</i> tried my best), yet there was always 'standing room only', something not even legal here in LA. I stayed overnight at a friend’s home yesterday, and looking out into her beautiful, serene, large trees filled garden, recalled how I had hoped to produce Shlomo's next summer concert in this peaceful location. I saw the spot radiating with soft light where I had earlier imagined Shlomo would be. That friend, Carol, would accompany Shlomo and I (his shlepper/chauffeur) on a grocery-shopping spree to get some healthy produce and juice at 3 AM following a concert in Pico-Robertson.<br />
<br />
Shlomo, <em>mamash</em>, is everywhere. His presence has magnified since his death from a heart attack at the age of 69 on October 20, 1994 (while aboard a plane taxiing for take off from New York to his beloved family in Toronto.) The same day he had arrived from giving seven concerts in England. (His Lubavitch colleagues shared with me that he spent deep personal moments with them in London the day before he died.)<br />
<br />
Shlomo traveled the globe tirelessly giving concerts so Jews could return to Judaism and discover their own religion’s spirituality. Two days before his death, I happily called to tell my dear rebbe that the Hillel students he wanted to reach out to in Los Angeles had finally decided on a Shabbaton date with him at UCLA.<br />
<br />
Joy’s 2009 P.S. : Because that yearned for gig, <i>mamash</i> sadly did not happen, as a<em> tikkun / </em>fixing, I sponsored a big Reb Shlomo Shabbaton at University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) for the Hillel students where my daughter, Aviva Krauthammer, was active. The students were thrilled when the <em>gevaldt</em> Moshav Band arrived for their Shabbos and also the planned <i>Malavah Malkah</i>. They tie-dyed a <i>mechitzah</i> that morning, and the new Shlomo Minyan remained for years at Hillel, making a major difference in the students’ lives. Many made <em>aliyah /</em> moved to Israel. I still love, and everywhere I see the Moshav Band. <i>See Moshav's Yehuda Solomon in photo below</i>.<br />

Searching, longing friends tell me how they sense Shlomo’s energy and as a result, processes they are involved in are quickened or new spiritual ideas and action are initiated. Fires are passionately lit. Poetry has been written, photos duplicated, feet have danced, and music and cassettes made of others performing his music have been produced. A film about Shlomo is being shot in Israel, as told by his followers, and a book is being written about him. (P.S. And a NY musical produced and many world-wide minyanim created.) So many books have now been written. My daughter, Aviva, when she went to bring Pesach seders to Ukrainian <em>shtetles</em> / villages in 1998, actually discovered a book about Shlomo with one of my photographs of Shlomo on the cover, at Rebbe Nachman’s grave in Uman. I love the photo Aviva sent to me of her holding up the book at the Uman<em> kever</em>. Shlomo always made the world smaller. <br />
<br />
Following his death, in Shlomo’s light in one week, I brought Shlomo’s music to a women’s Rosh Chodesh gathering, inviting them to play the many biblical percussion instruments I brought along; on Shabbat told Shlomo’s Chanukah stories to the Makom Ohr Shalom meditation congregation; sold dozens of my Shlomo framed photographs as a fund raiser for the Shlomo Carlebach Foundation; shared Shlomo’s teaching on the blessings, at Metivta--The Center For Jewish Wisdom; was invited to perform in concert tribute to Shlomo produced by the Orthodox Union; accompanied singer Sam Glazer in a memorial concert at the University of Judaism; assisted a film maker on Shlomo’s life, and helped plan a Shabbaton featuring Shlomo’s family. (I still have access to a concert video by Shira, that no one else has seen, and should be shown.)<br />
<br />
Shlomo’s light continues as I listen to his music. I never thought a day would come that Shlomo would not be here. For his legacy, I am so glad that Darlene Rose and I make copies of Shlomo’s teachings for (now Rabbi]) Shlomo Katz, as he shares them around the world.<br />
<br />
I am sorry that I did not accept Reb Shlomo’s invitation to go to Morocco with him when he played for the king and the Jewish community, nor back to Jerusalem where he was teaching, nor for a Chanukah celebration at his Manhattan shul, Congregation Kehillat Jacob, or to events in Monsey and other cities, always believing I would learn with him ‘another time.’<br />
<br />
Shortly before Shlomo’s death, his last phone call to me (to give my husband, Marcel, z’l, a blesSing for a <em>refuah shleimah</em> / complete healing) Shlomo was apologetic for his not calling earlier. He had been unable to call because his daughters, ages seventeen and twenty, visiting him on the Moshav, he said, had used the phone at all hours. I am so thankful that my seventeen-year old daughter, Aviva, met Shlomo, and our family spent last Pesach (his last Pesach) with Shlomo and his family.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for the kind words Shlomo said to me in front of the B'nei David-Judea congregation* Pico-Robertson congregation during his last Los Angeles Shabbaton, Parshat Pekudei, March 1994, as he gave me the name "Tzohara", adding it to Gila Rena, my name, now as he called me, "Double Joy and Light". The <i>Tzohar</i> is the window of light at the top of Noah's ark. The Tzohar is mystically known to be made of sapphire, a radiant light. *(That LA chevra is now the Happy Minyan which we founded, thanks to Stu Wax and David Sacks, after Shlomo’s death.) It was during that LA visit that Reb Shlomo made the musical video to celebrate Shabbat for the patients at Cedar's Sinai Medical Center.<br />
<br />
When not teaching, Shlomo was on the phone making his next day’s plane reservations, or returning calls to his "<em><strong>precious beautiful friends</strong></em>" around the world. Concerts were known to begin on "Shlomo time." I discovered what that meant as I served as his personal chauffeur. Arriving at Shlomo's hotel with speakers, amplifiers and microphones in my car (generously loaned to me by LA’s drummer Jeff Stern who had traveled to Russia with Shlomo) to pick up Shlomo with his guitar and many old heavy books at the appointed time to go out for dinner before a concert, I had to wait while Shlomo called his "sweetest loves," soul mate Neilah, and their two daughters, Nedarah (Dari) and Neshamah. If it wasn’t too late and we still had time for dinner (rarely), after being stopped and greeted by everyone driving by in the restaurant parking lot, and then at the tables, Shlomo would return to the nearest phone to call his children again to ask about their homework and tell them how much he loved them.<br />
<br />
Shlomo told us all that he loved us. "<em><strong>You’re the greatest</strong></em>" and "<em><strong>You’re the best</strong></em>." He loved G*d’s children, Torah and Israel.<br />
<br />
Sometimes running late (because of freeway congestion), we had kosher chicken sandwiches and soup delivered to the concert site, and ate them cold when the evening finished. Occasionally I would take Shlomo for Yemenite <i>malawahs</i>, or grocery shopping late at night so he could eat in his hotel room. No other human being could have functioned at such a high level, as Shlomo did, without regularity in their days and nights.<br />
<br />
One evening we ate at Mrs. Adler’s (Steven Spielberg’s mother) dairy restaurant. She was feeling extra proud because her son’s movie, "Schindler’s List", had just been released. Shlomo gave her a gift of his music tapes, and she played them on the speakers during dinner, and Mrs. Spielberg and I danced joyously in the aisle to Shlomo’s music. Shlomo wanted us all to dance and be joyous. If you called his telephone in New York, you would be greeted with the message, "<strong><em>May you be blessed with parnose double, double Shabbos and double joy</em></strong>." I recorded that message and played it over and over again.<br />
<br />
The people in the parking lots would endearingly call out of their car windows, "<em>Shloimele, remember when we met twenty-two years ago?</em>" and Shlomo remembered, even their names. "<em><strong>We met at Mt. Sinai</strong></em>," he sometimes replied. His career as G*d’s messenger spanned over forty years from the time the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, zt'l, in 1949 assigned Shlomo as traveling emissary to pair off as <em>shluchim</em> / messengers with Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, to bring college kids back to Judaism (as well as lost Holocaust souls). (Note: These facts have now been wonderfully updated by others. There are so many available new stories and videos.) <br />
<br />
In 1958, Shlomo bought himself a guitar, began playing, visiting coffee houses in Greenwich Village, and met Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and others who guided him. Shlomo composed thousands of soulful melodies that blended traditional Chasidic folk music with contemporary styles and which are now found on over thirty albums and in three songbooks, more than any other Jewish liturgical song-writer of the 20th century. We sing Shlomo’s <em>negunim</em> / wordless melodies and songs at <em>simchas</em>, synagogues, tables, rallies, military bases, camps, colleges, conventions and concerts. We do not even know or remember that Shlomo was the vessel for this music which he channeled from G*d and Heaven, and manifested, maybe a hundred negunim a day.<br />
<br />
Shlomo would whisper, "<em>When you sing you are one inch closer to the Tree of Life</em>." "<em>Music is really a heavenly thing, it comes down from Heaven</em>." "<em>There is a little tear in every song. Don’t wipe it off; it is my gift to you,</em> " revealed Shlomo.<br />
<br />
Shlomo’s whistling was angelic. Words to Shlomo’s melodies are from prayers, Psalms, Torah, Talmud, the Prophets, Chasidus, celebrations and Jewish mysticism. Among them are, "Am Yisrael Chai," "L’Man Achai V’Reyai,"" Esau Einai"," Od Y’Shoma," "Borchi Nafshi," "V’haer Enenu, " and "Nachamu Ami," (Shlomo gave that tape to me.) His "<em>favorite gevalt negun</em>" "Yerushalayim," (U-vau Ha Ovdim"" and "Return Again" were created in the Catskill Mountains during Shlomo’s first Shabbaton the the summer of 1974, only weeks before Neshamaleh was born, Shlomo shared with me.<br />
<br />
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov believed that "<em>Through dancing you awaken joy</em>," and "<em>Through holy music you can come to the level of prophecy. For the essence of D’vekut / cleaving with G*d is through melody</em>."<br />
<br />
The Baal Shem Tov believed that "<em>Through music you can reach joy and d’vekut with the Infinite One</em>." These beliefs Shlomo epitomized as he taught us through his actions. Shlomo taught that, "<em>Our feet can take you where your mind can’t go,"</em> and to <em>"Dance your way into the Book of Life</em>."<br />
<br />
During the traumatic days of Israel’s 1967 and 1973 wars, Shlomo’s music was a source of inspiration and consolation to the soldiers and public. His last recorded cassette tape, "Return", is "<em>dedicated to the missing Israeli soldiers</em>."<br />

<br /></div>
Numerous times while I was driving Shlomo, his eyes closed, I would play for him my favorite songs others were singing, and Shlomo would humbly let me know that they were his melodies, Later I would verify that, as it was written on the cassette jacket. As I played Shlomo’s own music for him, from the 1978 double album, "The Essential Shlomo Carlebach", he listened and softly reflected that it was his favorite recording, and seventy other melodies had been prepared but not released.<br />
<br />
Known affectionately as <strong><i>HaRabbi HaRoked / </i>the Dancing Rabbi</strong>, Shlomo has been a living legend in the U.S., Europe, Israel, Poland, and Russia. In the streets and in the concert halls, I watched as Shlomo was greeted, and as he greeted us with winkling wide eyes, a smile open arms, and embrace and a kiss on the forehead, inviting us to join him, gathering in HaShem’s Sparks of Light. You could feel his beard (held neatly in place with barely visible bobbie pins, and feel the soft white curls of hair. Walking with him to shul in Jerusalem, I listened as requests were made for Shlomo to visit parents, elderly and ill people in their homes and hotels. Unable to write on Shabbat, Shlomo memorized phone numbers of the elderly and the troubled, to call them after Shabbat. He would take little scraps of papers (<i>kvitels</i>) out of his pockets and call.<br />
<br />
The first time I walked slowly, alone with Shlomo from Jerusalem’s Moriah hotel, miles to a little shul where he was being honored (and he stood and greeted personally every person at the door), people of all denominations came from all intersections, from all all corners of the earth to say, "<i>Good Shabbos, Shlomo</i>." I had never seen anything like this and I exclaimed, "<i>You’re the Pied Piper</i>." Shlomo responded to me, "<em><strong>You’re the Pied, and I’m the Piper</strong></em>."<br />
<br />
Shlomo always made you feel good and special. Shlomo made you feel loved because <strong>Shlomo unconditionally loved each one of us</strong>, thousands of us in every city. It was Shekhina’s love that Shlomo brought down to us. Shlomo very deeply felt the pain that we suffered, the hurt, the lonely, the lost, the anguished, the alienated. Shlomo compassionately brought untold numbers of people out of their affliction to a healing place of light, love, faith and courage.<br />
<br />
Born in Germany in 1925 (12 Tevet), and a Torah prodigy at age five, and later at the renowned New Jersey Lakewood Yeshivah, he has been considered also the greatest Jewish musician of our century. I would see my own Chabad rabbis at Shlomo’s concerts at the L.A. Gondola restaurant. Shlomo brought us love of Torah through his music, his profound teachings, his story telling of <i>Tzadikim</i> / righteous ones, the Baal Shem Tov, holy water carriers, beggars, and Rebbe Nachman’s Breslover stories. <u>Shlomo’s Stories</u> was recently published. Shlomo took us with him on journeys to the "<i>secrets of the deepest depths</i>," to the highest heights. He didn’t only take us individually, but as One. I have seen these words engraved on Shlomo’s Jerusalem kever. (See photo below.)<br />
<br />
I could feel the Oneness, the essence of our souls together,<i> mamash</i>, a visible great golden Divine Light filling the room, of all the people at teachings with Shlomo present, in the Los Angeles home of his dearest friends, Rebbetzin Liliane and Rabbi Joshua Ritchie, MD (graduate of the House of Love and Prayer and co-founder of Shlomo’s Moshav Meor Modiin), and at the Jerusalem home of loving friends, Rebbetzin Emuna Witt (now HaLevi) and Rabbi Yehoshua Witt.<br />
<br />
What I observed those evenings, in intimate settings with overflow crowds, was how Shlomo turned-on and encouraged others to tell holy Jewish stories. At home in Israel, and performing at the Russian Center, Shlomo invited the immigrant Russian singers in the audience to join him on stage. He gave us wisdom, strength, laughter, and joy. He shared the light with all of us "<em><strong>Holy sisters and brothers</strong></em>" so that we could share out learnings and our truths "<em>from the really deepest places</em>."<br />

<br />
When people comment on my "<i>smiling, shining face</i>," it is because they recognize the blesSing of Shekhina shining out of me, which Shlomo bestowed upon all of us, telling us to "<em><strong>open our hearts, Friends...This is really deep</strong></em>."<br />
<br />
Shlomo taught us about peace, hope and brotherhood and called himself, "<em>Brother, Me</em>." I felt this at a Jerusalem concert, sitting next to a male Chasid who was wearing a <i>kapoteh</i> / long black coat and a <em>shtreimel</em> / large fur hat. Any place else, the man would have moved away to another seat. One day in Jerusalem, a Chasid waved to me from across the street. Realizing the man recognized me from being with Shlomo, I understood this unifying impact would not have occurred without Reb Shlomo’s influence of brotherhood, to "<em>love one another and bring the whole world two million miles closer to redemption</em>."<br />
<br />
People whom I did not yet know showed me kindness in Jerusalem by meeting me at bus lines and picking me up in cars to take me to teacher of Torah, meditation and drums, and inviting me for Shabbat. (Thank you dear purple souls sister (Rebbetzin) Ruthie and Rabbi Yaacov Fogelman, and Sara Rigler and others of blessed memory.) Only after these experiences did I again meet these helpful souls at a Shlomo concert, time and time again discovering the connection; It made sense, they were all Shlomo’s chevre, hundreds of thousands of Jews whom he had deeply touched, so that they could "<em><strong>open the gates</strong></em>."<br />
<br />
Shlomo’s disciples / <i>talmidim</i> and groupies (whom he had "met at Mount Sinai"), include hippies from the 'sixties' (and their children), artists, Torah scholars, yeshiva girls and boys, spiritual seekers, journalists, musical admirerers, Soviet Jews, beggars, and stricken mourners, including me.<br />
<br />
At his funeral, Satmar Chasidim stood next to bikers in studded leather jackets along with New Agers and old agers and us Baby Boomers. At the entrance to Jerusalem at Har HaMenuchot, the eulogy was delivered with love by The Chief Rabbi of Israel, HaRav Yisrael Meir Lau, to give honor to HaRav Shlomo Carlebach, " ...<em>a soul from the world of nobility and purity, the world of awe, of melody and of intimacy with the Divine. A soul the likes of which is only seen once in many generations</em>."<br />
<br />
Months before Reb Shlomo unexpectedly died, at Jewish Renewal Retreats all summer 1994, at Elat Chayyim-The Woodstock Center for Healing and Renewal and at the National Havurah Summer Institute, I would hear sessions begin and dinners end with a Shlomo nigun to center us. Summer 1993, at a Reb Zalman, Kallah concert in Berkeley (near where in 1967 to save souls, Reb Shlomo founded the House of Love and Prayer in Haight-Ashbury), Shlomo’s music was being performed by others. I heard a woman call out, "<em>Shlomo would be so proud of us, we are dancing and he is not even here</em>."<br />
<br />
HaRav Shlomo Carlebach, "the Dancing Rabbi", has left us his beautiful, sweetest, melodious, deep, humanistic and joyous legacy. Shlomo, zt'l, is here; we sing and dance, and I smile knowing my soul has been blessed having known Shlomo.<br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Every year on Reb Shlomo's <i>yahrzeit</i>, because I was <i>mamash</i> blessed to be Shlomo's drummer, I arrange Reb Shlomo Carlebach memorial concerts in Los Angeles, CA. At those times, I play percussion in the Chassidic Orchestra at Valley Beth Shalom. Since VBS Cantor Herschel Fox was a child, he knew Shlomo and sang with him, and shares those endearing moments and stories with congregants. Congregants love to share their personal stories with me following the concert. I had a band, Open To Wonder, and we played Shlomo songs.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Every year, I also organize a memorial concert and play with musicians at Makom Ohr Shalom. I announce at other shuls when it is Reb Shlomo's yahrzeit, and acknowledge with composer credit, the <i>niggunim</i> we sing. Other years I have played memorials with additional synagogues. I write up PR stories for news publications with Shlomo's history, so others may come.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Recently I met Jake Jacobs, drummer. We recognized each other from the 1994 Benefit Concert for Northridge, CA earthquake victims, that Reb Shlomo played. I sent Jake a photo of all of us that was shot during the concert at the Beverly Hills Tatou nightclub. I also sent concert photos to Shirley Perluss--mandolin player, Sam Glaser, Bruce Berger, and Simcha Sheldon, so they can all remember. See the photo in my website. I felt good that I could share the memories. (A friend of mine, Shira, has the video she took of that concert. She needs funding to convert it for current viewing.)<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">At gatherings, I present framed photos of Shlomo. For Pesach, I was pleased to see that Jerusalem's Rabbi Sholom Brodt used one of them (Shlomo and the menorah) in his Passover e-greeting. I recall when <i>chevre </i>Janice Belson brought to Jerusalem, 100 copyright copies of my best Shlomo photo, after the Holy One took home Shlomo's <i>neshama</i> and released his body. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I remember when Zivi Ritchie 1995 had used my photo of Shlomo on the cover of his books (all editions) on Shlomo, "<u>Friends, Listen to This" Teachings on Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach</u>. <i>(Please properly credit the photographer </i></span></span><i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px;">© </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">Joy Krauthammer.) </span></i><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">It is a small world. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">When my daughter, Aviva Krauthammer went to Ukraine in 1998 to make </span><i style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">Seders</i><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;"> for </span><i style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">shtetels</i><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">, she went also to Uman and to Rebbe Nachman's grave. What did Aviva find at the kever of Rebbe Nachman? </span><i style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: medium;">Gevalt</i><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">, there was the little book on Shlomo, and Aviva recognized the photo of Shlomo with the menorah that I had taken in LA.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Aviva's best friend still thanks me for bringing him with her to meet Reb Shlomo. Other college friends remember when after Shlomo's death, for her UCSB Hillel I sponsored a <i>Shabbaton</i> and musical <i>Malavah Malkah</i>, with the Moshav Band. The Shabbaton didn't happen until spring 1999, yet these memories are dear to my heart, knowing especially that because of Hillel and the Shabbaton, some inspired kids made <i>aliyah</i>. I had to miss the Shabbaton because sadly, my father, z'l, had just died.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Last year, January 2010, I was pleased to organize and hold an event in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, for Jerusalem's Rabbi Shlomo Brodt of Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo. He could bring Shlomo's inspired teachings, and it would benefit Shlomo's legacy and the Yeshivah. I loved it that I could accompany Reb Sholom on my <i>djembe</i> drum as we sang <i>niggunim</i>, as I had for Shlomo. Friends, Carol and Mel Maller, kindly hosted the beautiful evening in their home. Their son hosts Reb Sholom in New Jersey.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

(He and I share the same birthday!) I recall when holy sister Darlene Rose and I had given to young Shlomo so much of Reb Shlomo's music and teachings, which he was digesting so deeply. I am happy knowing that brother Shlomo gives over the highest teachings and takes his music around the globe.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

I believe in crediting the musician and the artist, and advocate this. I also ask that when my photos are used that I always freely share for decades, that I, the photographer am credited with my name and ©. Sadly, mostly credit does not happen. With Kol Chevre, it does.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Shlomo was invited. The concert, entitled Rekindling the Flame, took place on February 1, 1994 at the Tatou nightclub in the affluent city
of Beverly Hills near Los Angeles.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6336404784834200295#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: HE;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
The musicians
accompanying Shlomo included Robby Nathan Halperin, Bruce Berger, Skye
Michaels, Simcha (Ed) Sheldon, Sam Glaser, Chanan (Michael
Ian) Elias, P.F. Sloan, and two women, Joy Krauthammer (percussionist), and
Shirley Perluss (mandolin). <o:p></o:p></div>

A few
weeks later, on March 11–12, 1994, Shlomo led a Shabbaton program in the B’nai David-Judea <span class="blue">(BDJ) </span>Synagogue in the Pico
Robertson area in Los Angeles.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6336404784834200295#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: HE;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
The program was so inspirational that afterwards Stuart Wax and Lewis Weinger
opened a bank account and registered the name “Carlebach West” with the intent
of establishing a Carlebach <i>minyan</i> in Los Angeles.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6336404784834200295#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: HE;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
The Happy Minyan of LA was founded a year later, in March 1995, the Shabbat
after the wedding of Stuie and Enny Wax. The LA Happy Minyan “now draws 100 to
150 people to services at The Karate Academy of Pico-Robertson.”<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
In 1949, both Reb Shlomo and Reb Zalman went out as emissaries/<i>shluchim</i> of the Lubavitch Rebbe.<br />
<br />
They remained friends until Reb Shlomo died Oct. 1994, 4 months after The Rebbe died (2 days ago was The Rebbe's yahrzeit June 1994). Twenty one years ago.<br />
Reb Zalman died July 3, 2014 in Boulder, Colorado, after being ill during Shavuot at Isabella Freedman Center.<br />
I add these photo on Reb Zalman's first Yahrzeit.<br />
May his <i>neshama</i> merit from all the goodness of his disciples and family.<br />

Michael Beckwith (LA's Agape Center). Along with the reverend, about a decade ago, I had been to Morocco for the World Sacred Music Festival. These men were all involved with the movie, "The Secret."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Following "the Secret" movie screening, the panelists spoke about having an 'Attitude of Gratitude', and the 'Law of Attraction'. Thoughts and questions include: Transmute and embrace desire of path of the heart into higher reality to get back in touch with joy. Develop growing and unfolding of where soul is. What do I want to create? What am I doing in fulfilling myself? Think BIG.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Redfield asked why I chose to be what I am, and what is synchronistic about it all. Snippets include: Heightened intuition (thoughts drop into back of mind) is there to guide us. To stay in the glow, we must let go. (Oneness panel: Let go and transcend sense of separation and disconnection, all negative feelings, anger, anxiety...) Interpret all events as positive. See pattern of learning and the flow of information as Mission. Look at life as a movie. Sacred service beyond egocentric. We are ONE. Golden rule: Always give energy to others. Energy flows through me into my higher self. What you feel, you can heal. More we see, more we live out to tell truth and influence others.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">At the Celebration of Oneness I was in a workshop, "Embodying your Sacred Intentions," with percussionist facilitator, Christo Pellani. He shared: Express your desire for a more flowing life of joyful expression through the integration of intentional and affirmative energy into the cells of our organs. Intuitively I know this. (I acknowledged this when I bought James Redfield's popular, "Celestine Prophecy", but didn't read it after the first couple pages because I felt what he was saying was already me, thus I knew it.) While in workshop, we circled and breathed; we kept our individual intention. Mine was betterment as healer for self and others. I am serving as Sound Healer at Spiritual Unity Movement and at private spiritual gatherings.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I am here following my intentions because my 'dream' many years ago was answered: to share, as spiritual drummer-- the sound of the drum.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I was studying outer spiritual life, and receiving inner spiritual life and holy direction. Away at a spiritual retreat, I received spiritual guidance from (now Rabbi) Hanna Tiferet Siegel. During her workshop, on a piece of plain white 8"x10" paper, I drew, tracing next to each other, my right hand and my left hand. I filled in the palms, as directed, with my desires to manifest. This was "The Secret." Put my thought energy into what I want to manifest and ask for it. I asked The Source of All BlesSings to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><i>Shma</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">, hear me.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><br />

At that moment of finishing my experiential sketch, a stranger whom I had never before seen, "Miriam Minkoff from Buffalo" (and at that moment I was in Berkeley from LA), walked through the outdoor courtyard and up to me, as I, with hands art work in hand, was leaving the workshop door's threshold. Miriam handed to me her huge African djembe drum which was in her arms, and only said, "Play it, and return it to me when you're through." She walked away and disappeared into the crowd. (There are more miraculous post scripts to this story.)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">This is all</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><strong><i>Hashgachah Pratit</i></strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><i> </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">/ Divine guidance. In the middle of the courtyard of the Theological Seminary was Shoshanna Shoshanna. Walking directly to her, as she sat on a circular wall, I asked her to show me what to do with this large natural skin, wooden djembe drum, which fit very well in my arms' embrace. I recognized Shoshanna from Jerusalem as being <b>Reb Shlomo Carlebach</b>'s, zt'l, concert drummer. I had seen Shoshanna in concert different times in Jerusalem, and then met her at the Jerusalem home of the Witts, not realizing that she was the musician whom I had watched on stage. The host sat me down next to Shoshanna. How fortuitous. How synchronistic. How perfect.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Now Shoshannah was sitting right there in the center of the Theological Seminary courtyard in Berkeley. In Jerusalem, we had walked back to her home near the famous outdoor market, Machane Yehuda, and danced to her professionally recorded piano music. Shoshanna, the pianist and percussionist had never before danced to her own music, she said. I watched the dance shadows on the white painted old walls. (Years later, an LA friend purchased and played for me in her car, the same music piano tape of Shoshanna's having no idea that I knew Shoshanna.)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I had traveled to Jerusalem to unveil and nurture my "instinct", thinking I had no instinct. At the time, I didn't consciously know "The Secret." I knew there was something on another level that I needed to explore for myself. I was also following a 'message' I received, which was to find and meet Reb <b>Shlomo Carlebach</b>. I read an article about him, from his Berkeley sixties House of Love and Prayer, and that one could find him in Israel.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">In this holy city, in this concert, when for the first time, I had seen and heard Reb Shlomo perform on stage, <b>I had a craving, yearning, fiery desire to be on stage with Reb Shlomo</b> (a man whom I did not know), and was immediately aware of this connecting image. <b>I had received a clear 'message</b>.'

I think they became like a concept I'd learned studying crystal attributes and crystal healing with a Master Ho. FATTS is an acronym for: Focus, Amplify, Transmit, Transform and Store. In Jerusalem, my energies were amplified as I focused on them, and in daily story telling sessions with people I would meet, I transmitted them.

From the theatre balcony I could barely see it. It was the smallest percussion instrument I could figure out, that I could get away with on stage (to manifest this received message).

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I went to Turkey, one of the next stops for me to be part of a Sephardic tour discovering heritage, and synagogue architecture exploration (which I'd studied at Hebrew University). I bought in an Istanbul bazaar, yummy baklava, and belly dancing finger cymbals because I thought the percussive finger zills looked like what I had seen on stage. They looked a little like the wooden castanets that had fascinated me, as a teen, and I'd bought while studying in Spain when I was 18 and before college. Both instruments were worn on fingers, and for resonance, struck against each other. (In Spain, I joyously considered myself to be "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><i>Alegria con sangria</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">" / Joy with citrus wine.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I think that what Shlomo's Jerusalem stage musician, Yankele Shemesh was playing, were</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><em> ting shas</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">. They are not worn on fingers. He had smiled at me in the theatre hallway, as I entered. I did not know who Yankele was, nor did I realize at that moment, that with me, I had Yankele's name in a US newspaper article, and yet was inspired to believe the story was regarding people that I needed to meet in Jerusalem. (That's a whole other immense miracle story...) Imagine my surprise when during intermission, Yankele introduced himself to me, telling me his name and I showed him the news article from America.

I play because I am moved to play. I move out of the way, and I am drummed. I become a vessel of Divine energy to inspire others to move and feel joy. Others are inspired to come to prayer in synagogue and they are uplifted in prayer by my percussion, as I am told by many. (For the last 20 years, I have studied with many great percussion masters from around the world.)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">When faced with my own dancing alone in a drummers' circle, this is difficult for me to get up and dance, because I am seen. It is easy for me to do this dancing and playing in front of crowds because this is not me, not for me, but for others and I am danced and drummed to inspire others. It is what I had asked for in the sketch of my hands; The Secret.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">My insides might want to be dancing for myself, responding to outer music, but so hard to get up and be visible.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">So easy to get up with my insides responding to my insides, have the energy flow, and be a light for others. And then others are attracted and rise and dance.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Years ago, while in a sound meditation with Don Campbell at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, I received a 'message.' (I also saw an image of the Tree of Life while meditating and Don Campbell interrupted my meditation and asked me about the "tree". He some how knew my image.) I didn't act on the message I clearly heard, "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><strong>Dance and sing</strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">." I guess I needed to hear it again. Some days later, during a Reiki healing in a new age shop "Angels" in a valley north of mine, one of the three Reiki healers (none of which I knew) simultaneously working on me, stopped the process to say to me the following. "I hesitate to say this to you, but I have heard a message to give to you, and that is 'You must dance and sing.'

It was not easy being the first one in a shul to get up and dance alone in the empty aisles and inspire, but the dancing took hold. At one shul on High Holidays, Reb Zalman asked us to get us and dance. I listened. Alone, at first, I danced. Even Miriam HaNeviah had the women dancing with her.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">My ego tells me that it is not fair that a well known musician gets not only his name publicized in an organization website, but receives also a pay check. Mostly I get neither. Yet, my community loves what I bring to them, and clearly, that is my pay for my</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><em> avodah</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">and my</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><em>mitzvot</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I don't know the ripples from that playing percussion, unless someone shares it with me, and many do. That makes me happy. I am learning to listen, accept, take in and be grateful for the appreciation shown to me by my sharing my energy of joy and light. I am aware of The Secret, and I listen better to my instinct, without needing a passport to a holy land.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #341473; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>Reb Shlomo</b> named me "Tzohara" adding to my names Gila Rena.
