[HANASHIR:5644] Re: Shabbat service songs

[Rachelle and Howard Shubert <notfranz...>]

Emily,

We also sing Miriam's Song as a prelude to Mi Chamocha, but just at our more
intimate Shabbat morning services.  I bring my tambourine and shakers for
the congregation and sometimes even play my djembe instead of guitar.
People often dance, holding hands, around the room, during Miriam's Song.  I
have started to sing Mi Chamocha to the same tune but kind of lose it in the
Shirah Chadashah and really can't fit in Tsur Yisrael.  Generally, I prefer
to stop and sing another Mi Chamocha.

I like the idea of a pre-service warmup for Fri. night and have suggested it
to our rabbi.

Rachelle
