[HANASHIR:6173] hi

[Rick Lupert <Rick...>]

This is the hardest part of the year because it's the most amount of 
time until the next Hava Nashira...

We can discuss mini-regional events, we can complain about vans or no 
vans, tape clickings or no tape clickings, whether we actually 
discussed the 'tachlas' stuff from the brochure or not...but nothing, 
as far as I'm concerned, will ever match what happens when we pray 
together at Hava Nashira every year...whether it's in our 'formal' 
services, or singing in the dining hall, or during programs...there's 
a certain spiritual abandon we allowed ourselves this past week which 
I have not found elsewhere.

Thanks to everyone who was there who by default was a part of this 
abandon, this spiritual ecstasy, this hard to define space, this 
thing which feeds us enough to last a year, this space between the 
musical notes.

thank you...thank you...thank you...
