[HANASHIR:9250] Re: learning hebrew

[Beth Greenapple <bgreenapple...>]

I was just thinking about Friedman's plea for singing
Israeli music.  One of the difficulties about doing
Israeli music is that it's in Hebrew, presenting a
challenge for those unfamiliar with the language.  I
noticed that we did very little Israeli music all week
at HN.  Perhaps it would be a worthwhile goal for
everyone to come next year knowing one Hebrew laden
Israeli song that they've always wanted to learn. 
Then we can share them.  We could also make a list of
our favorites as suggestions for people to explore. 
It would be wonderful to devote a sharing session to
Israeli music.

Missing you all.  It was a glorious week.  I'm still
flying.
