[HANASHIR:13117] Shabbat Shirah

[JulesCFran <JulesCFran...>]

Shalom Fellow Jewish Music Lovers,

Each year, my chavurah, in East Brunswick, NJ,  has a Saturday evening 
Shabbat Shirah kumsitz/sing-a-long. This year we are gathering at 8PM on 
January 18. This annual event started a number of years ago with 6 or 7 
couples. The chavurah has grown to encompass a monthly musical Kabbalat 
Shabbat service and a monthly musical/equalitarian Shabbat morning service. 
Last year about 180 people attended the kumsitz.

The evening consists of Havdallah followed by songs ranging from our liturgy 
to Israeli songs to American Jewish to Carlebach...you get the idea. We use a 
Power Point presentation and an LCD projector instead of a shiron. The 
presentation is in both Hebrew and transliteration. We have a guitarist, 
keyboard player, percussionist and flute player to accompany the singing. 
After all of the singing, we enjoy some kosher dairy desserts.

Anybody on the list is welcome to join us for this evening - there is no 
charge.

If anybody would like further information, please email me privately.
