[HANASHIR:6257] seeking facts about Hava Nashira

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

I am writing an article about Hava Nashira for my temple bulletin on a deadline 
two days from now.  I would like to include some factual background about the 
conference.  I seem to remember it was said that it began 15 years ago - is 
this correct?  I also seem to remember the number 40 representing the total 
participation in the first year.  Can anyone verify?  Any other interesting 
facts/details would also be welcome.  It is my hope that this information will 
balance my gushing on about how inspiring and wonderful an experience it was 
for me.  Do e-mail me privately, OK?
