[HANASHIR:15400] Re: Psalm 122 in Hebrew

[Lori Shapiro <lorshap...>]

Thank you all for your support and your apology, Rahel. I was ready to sign off 
of this list  but now I feel like I really have a support system out there. 
Standing up in from of 1200 congregants with half an education can make one 
very sensitive and insecure! I learn so much just from reading all of your 
emails - thank you so much. 
I wish all of you a happy and healthy new year - 
L'Shalom-
Lori Shapiro

  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

    I am dismayed to come home from a long day of services to find an email 
response that was less than kind. I thought this was a list for people who work 
in temple music - not limited to those with extensive training. I apologize for 
my ignorance but unfortunately I entered this profession after being widowed at 
35. With two small children I needed a job and was given the opportunity to 
sing a service - not knowing Hebrew at all. I then taught myself to read 
Hebrew, chant torah, haftarah, high holy day trop, the megillah, etc with some 
guidance from the Cantor at my temple. I now have a great job as a soloist but 
my education has "holes." I take classes and work with a Hebrew tutor. So 
please forgive me if I occasionally ask a question that seems obvious to those 
of you who have more knowledge than me. I have to say I am very hurt by this 
response. It would seem to me that at this time of the year we could help each 
other out and show tolerance.
    L'Shalom,
    Lori Shapiro

        For future reference - open up your Tanakh - to the section called 
PSALMS (Tehillim). You will find all the 150 psalms there! Hopefully you have 
also opened a Hebrew Tanakh - if you are looking for the Hebrew version.

          Hi- 
          I'm doing Psalm 122 tonight and the transliteration is confusing in 
the music. Where can I find this psalm in Hebrew?
