N'Shama Minyan of Valley Beth Shalom Celebrates Daniel Pearl World Music Days

The N'SHAMA MINYAN of Valley Beth Shalom Sisterhood in Encino participates for many years in the Daniel Pearl World Music Day, a global network of awareness-raising performances and events.

They will be joining thousands of musicians in hundreds of performances worldwide in dozens of countries in a musical affirmation of the oneness of humanity.  Daniel Pearl stood for: Uniting people through words and music, and promoting tolerance and understanding around our common humanity.

The first N'Shama Minyan of this year will be Saturday morning October 26, at 9:30 am - noon.  This musical and spiritual service is led by Rabbi Nina Bieber Feinstein, and Cantorial soloist, Cindy Paley Aboody.  N'Shama Minyan percussionist is Joy Krauthammer, and dancing is led by Susan Gilboa North.

Rabbi Nina and Cindy invite everyone to come and learn Torah, pray, sing and dance. The N'Shama Minyan is led by women for women and is open to anyone who wishes to attend. The theme for this service is "A Well, A Camel... A Marriage!"

The 12th annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days - a global network of concerts dedicated to "Harmony for Humanity" - will be held this year from October 1-31, 2013, to coincide with what would have been Danny Pearl's, z'l, 50th birthday, October 10.

Danny, raised in Encino, was a talented musician who joined musical groups in every community in which he lived around the globe, leaving behind a long trail of musician-friends spanning the entire world. 

DANIEL PEARL WORLD MUSIC DAYS was created in 2002 in response to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, at the hands of extremists in Karachi, Pakistan.
