[HANASHIR:3765] Re: Question for Songleaders

[Ketzev2 <Ketzev2...>]

Elliot--

I truly feel that the answer lies to your question within your own  leading 
style, and the vision of what you want your program to be like. You have 
already defined the answers and many HNer's have illuminated really excellent 
ideas in which to use them. ( I need to try some of these myself!! ) I think 
now you need to decide which of these models fits your style best. Their are 
several good books available that I know of. First is the new UAHC Shireinu. 
A very good cross-section of material from liturgy to contemporary.  Another 
was the UAHC Camp Goldman Songbook. A great book, HUNDREDS of songs! But 
remember, NO BOOK is the be all and end all version. Find the one that fits 
the bill. You know your potential audience best. Call a couple of colleagues, 
or friends, or people on this list. Process your goals to them. I think the 
results will be unbelievable!

Have a cool Elul!!
