[HANASHIR:11860] Re: Sheva B'rachot

[Freedabet <Freedabet...>]

Not to put down anyone's favorite source, but you ALWAYS have to make sure 
the text in any composition/arrangement is appropriate to a service.  In a 
prayer service, it usually needs to match the prayer book you are using.  In 
a wedding, it needs to be in sync with the couple's and the officiant's 
(which may be a Rabbi, or may be you) beliefs and practice.

I love the ACC Cantor's Manual, but, for some reason, it doesn't have all of 
the elements necessary to perform a wedding ceremony.  It can help you fill 
out the ketuba (Reform version only), but doesn't have traditional or modern 
text for the ring-exchange, for instance.  So, I'm adding pages.  If anyone's 
done this, I'd appreciate a copy (Word, Davka, PDF?) if you're willing to 
share.

Thanks,

Michael
