a big screen for which it was intended. the world war one drama $917.00 not made by that flicks hits cinemas around the globe later this month. in the jewish religion music plays a very important role in the synagogue indeed the council leads people in prayer in religious services and in the past always men no longer and the 1st female to train for the role here in europe was sofia fog of it she'll be my guest in just a moment after this. how do you 'd call it. so if your lives with her family in paris but she's frequently on the move visiting different synagogues to help lead prayers this time she's headed to the country where she grew up to germany. should be paying a special visit to the jewish community in the city of freiburg.

talk of its new from a young age that she wanted to be a cantor. ruth. or. women are not usually allowed to lead songful prayer in orthodox synagogue such as this one. female cantors are accepted in more liberal communities but here she's only allowed to lead prayer at a special service for women normally men and women here pray separately with the women in the back. our. motion high unit is the community's official counter. who. could tell me it says the voice of a woman could distract men and prevent them from concentrating on their prayers.

they'd hear the beauty of the woman's voice and perhaps see her beauty too and they wouldn't see god you for now faucher vetch is one of the very few female cantors here in europe something she hopes will change. soon. which joins me live in the studio now welcome. the 1st female council trained in europe so how did you go about becoming more actually how did you manage that. well in 1st place i had a strong feeling i could contribute and innovates this music style and. my life has led me to. study through the music i was attracted to this music to the art form can toral arts and. this is how i came into

this direction into this career path but how did you get someone to teach you well i was trained at a college where it was allowed for the only college in europe where it's possible for women to have a training like this and it opened up it opened a door for can control training actually when when it was possible when i started studying the 1st time and i could do also a part of the training in jerusalem in in israel. possible how do you feel when someone says like we saw in that report a woman so you would distract from. this is often every action like this i could say if you were beard distracts me from prayers should i not listen to your voice you know i mean i often get obviously various reactions and some very strong reactions but they come before the prayers and before the

concerts after we talk about completely different topics. this is a cliché. for many people but jewish music the way you hear is more for our i think it's sounds to me as though it's nearly always in the meineke is it well it is kind of a cliche and to some extent these are very ancient prayers these music was written at a time where people had time to reflect and there was time for intersection. interest. which modern society that is very fast moving and could benefit from i think. joy and tragic events always went hand in hand and this is very reflective in the music obviously well let me let me do this let me give you an example. i'm sure you know this so let's try something like.

how. i'm going into the improvisation right now. who and i'm staying still in the same moment of. oh so there's very george joyful you for points so it's not but it is often. i hear it as abuses but it changes of all it goes from agents of mind it has various specific modes that are very different interests music. now does it differ as well to seem normal classical music i mean it is a different because you do that as well and it's a different style of the it's a completely different approach into a different style and text it's very important the music underlines the text

ok now most away as in classical music the music is more in the foreground stream that's true in the text is more important yeah ok now more of this beautiful distinct voice can be heard on your latest cd which in english is called the voice of sacred average soldier music on that yeah yeah it's just a company by the old and wonderful. and it's no soul in the meineke sophia fog of which thank you very much for being with especially thank you for singing it was studio today thank you very much. now to our series 100 german must reads the best of german language literature available in english today the swiss novelist or robot vies who struggle with life not only financially but spiritually as well and this is reflected in his novel. and here's more from aa
