Timbrel of Miriyahm

"Torah Parsha Beshalach includes the story of the Exodus from Egypt and the Splitting of the Sea. This miraculous event marked our true freedom. Out of gratitude and joy, we sang a song of praise to HaShem (thus, "Shabbos Shira", which means "Shabbos of Song."

"Jewish women were so filled with faith, that they came to the wilderness prepared to celebrate the redemption from slavery. They packed home-made timbrels with the provisions for the desert trek! Thus Miriam the prophetess led the women in their own song after Moshe led the first Shira. The Sages teach that in the merit of righteous woman, we were redeemed from Egypt, and (in their merit again) we will be redeemed in the future. May that time be now, and the holy sisters will joyously sing a new song together!" - Happy Minyan
