Shalom!

Actually we do sing a good amount of songs from the list. We do this as 
part of the Seder (I mentioned the siddur we use). As we go through the 
seder, songs are interspersed throughout the evening. It's wonderful. It's 
much like a Pessach seder, and you know how many songs we sing for Pessach!

I will admit that it's the band/songleaders who do most of the singing. We 
spend quite some time learning the songs prior to the event. I teach the 
easier songs to the students - maybe 3-4 - as part of our music/service class.

Thanks,

Rahel
