[HANASHIR:8415] Attending Hava Nashira

[Debbie Block <dblock55...>]

I'm glad to have read Rick's thoughts about HN.  Last year was my first 
experience at the workshop and it was an incredibly spiritual 4 days. It also 
opened my eyes to the wonderful world of contemporary Jewish music, with which 
I was unfamiliar.  I left there thinking I would surely "Return Again".  
However, upon learning that Danny was not returning and seeing the names of two 
new faculty, with no bios attached I quickly cooled off about coming back.  I 
am an Early Childhood music specialist.  I was dissappointed that no attempt 
has been made to find out what different areas people work in and design 
workshops accordingly.
I cannot justify the cost of coming back if the program is as lacking in 
content as it appears.  I'll hang on to the memories of HN, 2000.
