Re: Bas Sheva/Sheindele

[shirona <shirona...>]

Lori - I'm sitting here listening to a tape of BasSheva... Sam sent one to
me too, and up pops your message!

Anyway, it's very inspiring singing.  I wonder what she'd have to say, if
she were alive and on our list, at the time of the Kol Isha debate...    Who
is Sheindele?
