[HANASHIR:11575] Re: Hanashir Music Store

[jackie diamond <jldhk67...>]

Dear Steve:

I just came across your letter on Hava Nashira.  I am the Rabbi of the 
Reform Synagogue in Hong Kong.  We are looking for a song leader/youth 
director/and programmer to work here.  Unfortunately the web site will not 
let me post this as the site is only for North American activities.

Since I noticed your interest in promoting options for song leaders, I 
thought that maybe you would be interested in posting this to others.  
Perhaps even for yourself.

Hong Kong can be a great adventure for a young person looking to work and 
have an adventurous experience for a year or two.

Let me know what you think about this posting

Lee Diamond, Rabbi
