[HANASHIR:3901] Re: High Holy Day Music - Children

[Steve Greenberg <SIG...>]

Thanks for your well-taken point -- I recently sent a message that erroneous
(sp?) Hebrew has annoyed me in the past.  But I, too, must recognize that I
also make mistakes in Hebrew AND English, and my earlier stance may have
been a bit arrogant.

My apologies to all for my insensitivity.  I, too, hope all will feel
absolutely free and comfortable to send any messages without fearing some
sort of shame or embarrassment for any "imperfections" -- we're here to
teach one another, too.

Thanks,
Steve Greenberg
