[HANASHIR:4571] Re: Craig Taubman's Friday Night Live

[Judy Git <hillel...>]

We had this priviledge a couple of months ago here in the Twin Cities.  It was
really a wonderful experience - and this, folks, is coming from someone who is
not at all used to (and usually pretty uncomfortable with) musical instruments
on Shabbat.  Bottom line, it was a real PRAYER experience.  One of the rabbis
was overheard (by me) muttering "THIS is how a Shabbat service OUGHT to be!"
Hey - maybe THIS is how it was in the Beit Hamikdash???

Kol hakavod, Craig!
