[HANASHIR:12487] Re: Music quote for ark

[Shira Kline <shirlalala...>]

My favorite thing I've seen written on an ark are the words, "Shiviti
Adonail L'negdi Tamid."  I translate that as I place myself oposite God,
always.  That is to say, I am always facing God.  The line is used in
our funeral liturgy and there is a very beautiful chant written by Rabbi
Shefa Gold set to these words.  She changes the name of God to
Shechinah.  I would be happy to send it along written in Hebrew to you.
