Hi everyone,
I was wondering if everyone can do me a favor? Sometimes you'll ask for suggestions for certain themes that you are working on in your schools and synagogues. They're always written in the Hebrew transliteration. I know what a lot of them mean, but I don't know what ALL of them mean. Keep requesting with the transliteration, but if you could, include the translation. I might have some good suggestions for you too (if I knew what you were talking about).
Always wanting to learn something new,
Susan
