[HANASHIR:5923] Re: Shavuot Songs

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Ok Adrian..... I get the message.   ;-)   Just for you, I've looked up
V'Haer Enenu and have already found it in 3 books:  "The Best of Chassidic
Song," Tara, p. 15,  "Gates of Song" (blue reform music guide), #162, "The
Z'mirot & Kumsitz Songbook," p. 67.
Happy  Singing!
Meris
