[HANASHIR:8298] Re: Caveat

[Laura Ferguson <allenderl...>]

1) I think what Adrian says is very fair, I would like to suggest a more 
appropriate list for these discussions on gender & Kol  Isha  -- the 
mail.liberal-judaism list -- check it out at:  at 
http://www.mljewish.org/.  It is a great forum for discussing such topics, 
and I'm sure these gender issues re music and prayer would make an 
interesting discussion there.

2) I was very relieved when I found out that Kol Isha was not an issue at 
Hava Nashira or at the NA Jewish Choral Festival. However, I do hope this 
list gets back to its musical focus although I found the discussion very 
interesting.

3) The Choral Festival website is: 
http://www.zamirfdn.org/festival.htm  The choral festival is a delightful 
experience, although very different from H.N., if you like the "group" 
experience of singing in choirs and want to study Jewish topics in choral 
music, sing with fabulous conductors and instant choirs -- I highly 
recommend it.
