[HANASHIR:8646] Re: choir in the aisle

[ShirMidbar <ShirMidbar...>]

Rachelle, we gave up trying to do a choral processional at the beginning of 
Shabbat services at Temple Solel years ago.  It quickly evolved (deteriorated?) 
into the Solel Stroll.  Our really excellent volunteer choir members enter the 
sanctuary from the back and file down the center isle, stopping along the way 
to shmooze with their friends in the congregation.  It is an excellent 
demonstration, and explanation, of why it took our people 40 years in the 
desert to make a trip that should have taken a couple weeks, at most.  The 
whole time they were standing in doorways and pathways, shmoozing.

Good luck, but don't give up.

B'shira,
