[HANASHIR:14006] Re: Torah Dedication Music

Not specific to Torah Dedication, but usable in many situations, Lisa Levine's 
Baruch Hamakom (from The Open Door Haggadah) is very pretty.  I sang it for the 
first time this week at our Miriam's Seder which I co-led with the book's 
editor, Rabbi Sue Levi Elwell.  I am looking for opportunities to use this song 
again.

There are so many beautiful versions of Shehecheyanu that would be appropriate. 
 One of my favourites is Ben Steinberg's, which can be found in the ACC 
Cantor's Lifecycle Manual.

  Hi!

  I am looking for some help selecting some songs for a Torah Dedication 
ceremony we are having at our congregation.  We are a 2.5 year old congregation 
with a newly ordained rabbi, and we are receiving our first Torah as a gift 
from some congregants.  As I've been told, this is a pretty rare event to be a 
part of, so any feedback and advice from anyone who has taken part in such an 
event is much appreciated.  It should be a very wonderful and special evening, 
but I welcome any suggestions you may have on music for the ceremony.

  Thanks!
  Tiffany
