[HANASHIR:7020] Re: sukkot music?

[Naomi Farina <nerfsing...>]

I just want to say thank you to all of you.  I don't have a lot to
contribute to this listserve - I do contribute when I can.  But I love music
and I appreciate all of the suggestions for working with the various age
groups.
Thank you!
Shanah Tovah,
