[HANASHIR:3758] Re: Question for Songleaders

[Judy Caplan Ginsburgh <jerd...>]

Elliot,

Adrian would probably be the resident expert on slides and computer
projection of lyrics.  Also, Tara Publications publishes a Z'mirot Handbook
which has all of the traditional Shabbat songs and blessings in it.  I do
not think it contains alot of contemporary stuff, however.

At a previous Temple where I worked, we actually made our own Songbook.  It
was spiral bound and we could easily add things in an updated printing.  I
owned a spiral binding machine (You can get them for around $150) and it
saved a bundle.

Judy :)
