[HANASHIR:13192] Bashanah Haba'ah

Dear Friends,
     A PS on the English words to Bashanah haba'ah posted by my midwestern 
neighbor Linda Salvay.  For gender sensitivity, I changed "men have dreamed, 
men have died" to "People dreamed, people died."   We have been singing it 
that way in Topeka for 15 years.  Also, we use the Hebrew chorus throughout 
and sing those 2 English verses after singing the first verse in Hebrew.  
     Thanks, Linda, for sharing those words.  I have to check and see if 
Shimon Gewirtz did that translation, as he did some others.  It's possible, 
but I am not sure on this one.  Let's see if I can find those notes from his 
session during CAJE at Brandeis in 1982!
      Happy secular new year, everyone!
L'shalom,
(Rabbi) Larry Karol
Temple Beth Sholom
Topeka, KS
