[HANASHIR:2545] Re: Adonai S'fatai

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

We think it's a beautiful song -- almost like a niggun if done quietly.   We
started it slowly and then upped the tempo.  Also did it in harmony.
Certainly is a great way to get the congregation's attention.

I think some rabbis just like it and others don't.
Good luck.
