[HANASHIR:2120] RE: Sim Shalom canon

[Judy Caplan Ginsburgh <jerd...>]

Janet,

Thanks for giving the origins of the Dona nobis Pacem to all.  It is a pretty
melody - I too have sung it in churches, but I would feel very uncomfortable
incorporating it into our synagogue worship or teaching.  What is the
background on the South African V'shamru?  I am not familiar with this as
anything but a V'shamru tune.
Thanks,

Judy : )
