Dear Ms. De Layni, 
I certainly hope that you are successful in acquiring  an Music Director who is 
conversant with Jewish Music (not 'Just Klezmer').  It is a subject which has 
interested me for a number of years and each year I discover a new layer of 
Jewish involvement in the history of musical thought.  From the ancient temple 
to the most avant-garde, Jews as Jews, not only people of "Jewish Origin' (such 
as Mendelssohn) have been involved in music.  In fact, I have been in contact 
with a musician and scholar in Germany who has just completed this thesis on 
the Russion-Jewish school 1870-1930 which has long been neglected.  I recently 
added some music of the Cochin Indian community to my own collection. Also 
Florence, Italy.  With luck in search... Sincerely,,, Ed Eisen

  A new Jewish High-School in Stamford, CT (just 45 minutes from NYC) is 
looking for a Musical Director/Music Teacher who can lead a High School Band 
specializing in Jewish Music (not only Klezmer). The course purpose is to teach 
some Theory, Background, History and concepts of Jewish Music by Playing it.
