[HANASHIR:6549] RE: Tisha B'Av

[Ellen Allard <ellen...>]

Adrian,

I'm glad you brought this issue up. The rabbi thought the guitar was fine
and even encouraged using it. The other layperson involved in the planning
of the service did not think it should be used, echoing your email.

I'm curious as to what others think about this.
