[HANASHIR:14813] Re: Amazing Shabbat!

[Singalong2 <Singalong2...>]

Although I have never attended HavaNashira, I totally "get" what Audrey 
described and have felt similar feelings while on the bimah with my guitar as 
well. 
I smiled as I read it, and would like to encourage others (hope that's 
allright) to share similar experiences that occur outside of HN. Many of us 
aren't 
able to attend those weekends, but feel that special spirituality and ruach at 
other times in our praying and leading prayers and music and, of course in 
sharing with others when they are leading. I know that I certainly felt that 
this 
year, at a Jewish Educator's Workshop and service led by Debbie. 

We all need to share the positive, non confrontational, uplifting stuff with 
one another, along with some of the other, more conflictual things that come 
up. Also, for those of us unable to attend, it makes us feel more included in 
that special spirit that exists there.

Thanks Audrey.
