[Judy Ginsburgh <judy...>]

Meris,

I have two books in my library which are similar to the one you mention - The 
Book Of Words by Lawrence Kushner and These Are the Words by Arthur Green both 
published by Jewish Lights.  The one by Arthur Green is a personal favorite and 
similar to the one you mentioned.  Both of these are available from Jewish 
Lights Publishing or Amazon.com.

  Friends, I lent a wonderful book to a friend of mine and she loves it so much 
I'd like to purchase a copy for her as a surprise.  However, I cannot find it 
on "Google," and don't know where to turn.  The name of the paperback book is, 
The Magic of Hebrew Words and is just wonderful.  Interesting descriptions - 
every page has a different word or phrase and relates the gematria to the 
connection of other words and meanings.   Is anyone familiar with it?  I think 
I bought it at caje years ago.  I've checked the following publishers:  Jason 
Aaronson, Behrman House, KTAV, the Conservative mvt's publisher... to no avail. 
 Thanks,

  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.
