Akiva the Believer is a Master Drummer who is reintroducing drumming back into Jewish prayer settings. He is the first ordained "Holy Drummer" since the Temple was destroyed thousands of years ago. He was ordained by the well loved Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi of Blessed Memory as the first Temple Drummer in 2000 years. Akiva plays at synagogues, retreats, drum circles and concerts around the world.
