[HANASHIR:15397] Re: Psalm 122 in Hebrew

[rahel <rahel...>]

Shalom Lori and List members,

I would like to express my sincere apologies for my tone of voice in 
responding to your (Lori's) request. Though I had intended to provide 
information, I also expressed my own frustration, which was wrong of me - 
especially at this time of year. I commend you for the efforts you have 
made and continue to make in filling the "holes". We all have much to 
learn. Thanks for calling me on this.

Shanah Tovah u'm'tukah. Gmar khatimah tova.

Rahel
