Re: Nadav and Avihu

[janeen kobrinsky <janeenk...>]

hava nashira is just a name...

"hava nashira" did not always exist, but the people did...and what makes hava
nashira special is not just OSRUI or the faculty but all of the folks who join
together to build that incredible energy at HN...it troubles me that Jess was 
not
allowed "permission" to use the name "Hava Nashira"..."a Kum Zitz by any other
name would smell as sweet"
...several have written that the important thing is what we take home to our
communities...not just what we experience on a personal level there (although I
guess that one involves the other) ... let's remember why we do what we
do...Debbie and Jeff are wonderful...but I know that there are 95 others who 
have
much to share

how can anything be amiss when like souls meet in the quest for yiddischkeit,
renewal, and song...
